Abstract

The decision to prepare this book on Climate Change and Agriculture stems from the colloquium (Number 677: Changements climatiques et agriculture (Climate change and agriculture), organized by C.R. Bryant in the context of the congress of ACFAS in 2012). All of the contributions in the book, except for one, are based on presentations made during this colloquium; an additional invitation to Rodrigue Feumba and his team was made which resulted in Chap. 13.
