This book is very useful for the researchers, scientists and agriculture students for the understanding of the status and challenges of carbon sequestration in agricultural soils, potentials of different land use, carbon credit and carbon trading and how farmers can get benefit from carbon credits as a new tool for climate-smart agriculture to reduce the contribution of agriculture in global warming and climate change, understanding of the technologies for conservation agriculture, which will help the stakeholders to understand adoption and mitigation strategies better for their future planning of research and extension in CA. This book would also offer the long-term need to frame a sustainable system for future weed management and integrated nutrient, pest, disease and soil fertility management for sustainable sugarcane production under changing climatic scenarios.
