This article provides a holistic analysis of the United States Farm Bill that highlights the grave societal and environmental implications of buttressing our nation's industrial agricultural system with ever-larger commodity subsidies. Specifically, this article first provides a brief history of both American agriculture and the Farm Bill as context for the vast structural shift that has occurred in our nation's farming and food systems over the past century. Next, the article examines the severe environmental consequences of a subsidized industrial agricultural system, including impacts to water, soil, land, biodiversity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The article concludes by re-centering the discussion on Farm Bill reform by proposing an innovative policy solution that can single-handedly solve many of the environmental problems identified in the preceding chapter.

The factors affecting climate are changing all over the world. This phenomenon has multidimensional impacts on human livelihoods. Different groups of people are affected in different ways. Among all sectors, agriculture is highly dependent on climate variables. As a consequence, the socioeconomic profiles of farm as well as farmers are changing with the changing climate. In the existing literature there is a large gap about the relationship between climate change and the socioeconomic characteristics of livelihoods. This study is an attempt to find out a conclusive result about the relationship between the agents of climate change and the agents of agricultural sustainability, the effects of climate change on agriculture and socioeconomic status of the farmers, and their patterns of adaptation. This study is mostly focused on paddy sector in the context of Malaysia. It is conducted under the research project “The economics of climate change: Economic dimensions of climate change, impacts and adaptation practices in agriculture sector: Case of paddy sector in Malaysia” of the Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI) of National University of Malaysia (UKM). This book is divided into seven chapters. Initial chapter provides a background of the study and methodology that consists of data, variables, model and tools for analysis. Chapter two provides a review of related literature about the scenario of climate change; its vulnerability and impacts on agricultural sustainability as well as socioeconomic sustainability of farmers; and the adaptation of climate change in terms of farming practices and socioeconomic practices. Chapter three describes the socioeconomic profile of paddy farming households including the particulars related to social status and economic status of farmers, and firm level activities, assets and production practices. Chapter four assesses the vulnerability of climate change in terms of vulnerability of climate factors, vulnerability of agriculture and paddy farming, and vulnerability of socioeconomic status of the farmers. Chapter five finds out the impacts of climate change on agriculture, especially paddy farming, as well as socioeconomic status of farmers. Chapter six provides the approach and process of adaptation in terms of farmers’ understanding about climate change, farmers’ approaches towards adaptation, current supports from external parties for adaptation, and required supports for adaptation. Finally, chapter seven discusses summary and provides policy options and recommendations in term of government policy, farm level strategy, and relevant stakeholders’ involvement to proper cope with climate change and its adverse impacts. We hope that the book provides the linkage to facilitate better understanding of the socioeconomic perspectives of climate change. We also believe that the book will stimulate further research in the subject and the information provided will assist other researchers in their future research endeavors. Last but not least, the findings and outputs of this book will stimulate the knowledge input for effective policies in addressing the issue of climate change and its adaptation approaches.

The Philippine economy has grown rapidly since 2010, but despite this growth, poverty and inequality remain high. Two-thirds of the poor live in rural areas, and the weak performance of the agriculture sector has contributed to the slow improvement in livelihoods. The challenge for agriculture will further increase, with climate change posing a growing threat to the sector. But agricultural transformation to spur sustained growth and reduce poverty is still possible under climate change with aggressive institutional reforms and implementation of the right mix of policies and programmes. The identification of the suitable policy and programme combination requires an accurate assessment of the key drivers of agricultural growth and food security; the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the overall economy; and the effectiveness of policies for adaptation and growth. This book addresses these big issues, focusing on enhancing the adaptation capacity of the Philippine agriculture sector. It is designed to provide a much-needed base of knowledge and menu of policy options to support decision- and policymaking on agriculture, climate change, and food security. The volume uses newly generated data, modelling outputs, and innovative analyses to provide a scientific basis for a variety of adaptation measures under different sets of climate change scenarios to guide decision-makers in strategic planning and policy formulation. “As we have actually experienced in Leyte, an island province in the Visayas where Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) struck, disasters caused by natural hazards could completely negate economic gains, devastate families and shatter dreams. Our greatest challenge is to make ourselves better prepared for and be more resilient to such disasters. Natural hazards need not always lead to loss of so many lives and properties. This book shows us ways and provides tools to draw up climate change and socioeconomic scenarios at the regional and provincial levels, allowing us to identify strategies for mitigating climate change risks.” — Ernesto M. Pernia, Secretary of Socioeconomic Planning, National Economic and Development Authority, Philippines “This book by top Philippine researchers combines state-of-the-art biophysical and economic modeling of climate impacts and adaptation policies with in-depth synthesis of agriculture, natural resources, climate trends, and policies. It provides a comprehensive assessment of climate change impacts on agriculture and the broader economy to provide important insights for Philippine policymakers.” — Dr Cynthia Rosenzweig, Head, Climate Impacts Group, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Co-Founder of the Agricultural Model Inter-comparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP)
