Future of Food Gaps in Egypt

This work gives a multidisciplinary approach to assess and provide solutions to improve food security in Egypt. It has specific chapters on projection of climate change using IPCC AR5 models and regional climate model, and a chapter on population projection in 2030. This book aimed at research, graduate/post graduate students and policy makers. It can also be used by overpopulated countries to solve their own food gap problems.

Includes multidisciplinary approach to assess important food gaps in Egypt Specific chapter on protection of climate change using IPCC AR5 models and regional climate model in 2030 Gives solutions for solving three food gaps in Egypt (wheat, maize and faba bean) using unconventional methods to increase land and water production under present and future conditions Useful guide for overpopulated counties to solve their food gap problems
