The agricultural sector should take immediate measures to mitigate and adapt to the climate change due to global warming. For irrigation engineers, it is very significant to have a firm grasp of the topic Climate Neutral and Resilience Farming Systems (CNRFSs), which is the focus of this book."" Tsugihiro Watanabe, Vice President of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID), Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University, Japan ""This book is very timely and a valuable knowledge contribution on managing green-house-gas emissions in the agriculture sector. Each chapter underscores low carbon emission agriculture in achieving the 1.5oC target of the Paris Agreement. An insightful publication!""
