Early warning systems and monitoring tools for agricultural adaptations to climate change. [Abstract only]. by Lacombe, Guillaume

“…In Southeast Asia, agricultural production is highly constraint by climate cycles typically characterized by the regular alternation of the wet and dry seasons, and by unpredictable droughts or rain storms. For hundreds of decades, farmers have adapted to these climate vagaries by growing various cultivars, mainly during the rainy season, with different cropping calendars, thus limiting the risk of total agricultural losses in the case of extreme events. …”
