Review Quotes:

From the reviews:

"This volume comprises 35 chapters of papers arising from a meeting held in Dhaka, Bangladesh in August 2008 to explore the consequences of the changing climate on the food security of people in the South Asia region. ... this is a very informative and useful summary of climate change and crop production research in South Asia and especially Bangladesh." (Peter J. Gregory, Food Security, Vol. 3, 2011)
