Synopsis

The content of the book is of exceptional quality, as it seamlessly transitions from the characterization of biophysical resources and land use systems to the farming systems level, culminating at the catchment or watershed level. The book includes modeling studies to update current trends, and vulnerability studies provide a comprehensive set of information for future action plans. The authors have demonstrated exceptional skills in the development of customized GIS tools for learning and knowledge sharing. This book stands out as an example of knowledge sharing efforts in the field of geo-informatics and the use of GIS technologies for the effective and efficient management of natural resources. The authors, who are experts from top institutes such as CGIAR, ICRISAT, the University of Tokyo, Japan, the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Tsukuba, Japan, and the Kansas State University, USA, IIT, IARI, NRSC, NGRI, and reputable Agricultural Universities and institutes (e.g. NBSS&LUP, CRIDA, CSSRI, NIAM, IGFRI, NRCAF, NBPGR, CMFRI, IASRI, IIHR, etc.), have contributed knowledge on biophysical resource characterization and quality assessment, agricultural vulnerability to climate change, rainfall variation, water availability, and urbanization, as well as the development of customized GIS applications, knowledge sharing, and learning tools. The authors have also made specific contributions in the areas of data mining, farm-level applications, and modeling for retrieval of biophysical parameters.
