Dear Colleagues,
Call for Papers for a New Book: "Climate Change, Food Security, and Land
Management”
The intertwined challenges of climate change, food security, and land
management represent some of the most pressing issues facing humanity
today. As the global population continues to grow, the demand for food
increases, placing unprecedented pressure on our agricultural systems
and natural resources. Simultaneously, climate change poses significant
threats to these systems, exacerbating vulnerabilities and complicating
efforts to ensure a sustainable and secure food future.
It is against this background that we invite suitably qualified experts
and project teams to contribute to the book "Climate Change, Food
Security, and Land Management". A unique feature of this book is its
strong practice-oriented focus: apart from the results of research and
field projects, it will contain a wide range of papers exemplifying the
diversity of approaches to handle climate change, ensure food security
and foster better land management taking place all over the world.
In addition, the book will describe grassroots projects and innovative
initiatives happening in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the
Pacific region, documenting and promoting the diversity of works taking
place today.
Comprising works by scholars, professionals and practitioners from
around the globe, the book "Climate Change, Food Security, and Land
Management” is envisaged as a ground-breaking interdisciplinary publication on
climate change, that identifies innovative management methods and tools that are
field-tested and practice-approved. It
will be published as part of Springer Nature’s “Climate Change
Management Series”, the world’s leading peer-reviewed
book series on matters related to climate change
https://www.springer.com/series/8740. It draws from the experiences and
success with the“Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation”
https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783642386695,
the “Handbook of Climate Change Resilience”,
https://www.springer.com/la/book/9783319933351, the African Handbook of
Climate Change Adaptation
https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-030-45106-6(which
is completely open access) and the “Handbook of Climate Change
Management: Research, Leadership, Transformation”, which, with 6 volumes
and over 500authors, is one of the most comprehensive publications on the topic ever
produced: https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-030-57281-5
If you are interested to contribute to this book, please send an
abstract of 200 words, including the title of the contribution and the
full contact details of the authors, to: [email protected]. The deadline
for abstracts is 30th September 2024. Full papers are due by 10th

Hi Emad,
There are NO publication fees for the authors and each chapter (if selected for publication), will have its own DOI. Thank you for asking!
Hi Emad,
I do not know whether I understand your first question however, I think that land management has to do with food production as we have converted almost all lands around the world into crop fields, or pastures to graze livestock. Climate change of course is involved too and with the uncertainties it brings like floods, or extended droughts, climate change may determine crop yields decline, or (even worse), crop failures. Therefore, the book allows authors to explore these themes and share their specific experiences, from various countries around the world. As for the timeline/schedule according to my experience with the Springer publishing house I can tell you that it is followed quite rigorously so that the book may be published as planned initially. Obviously, some flexibility is always necessary as there are many people involved in projects like this. I hope this information answered your questions. Feel free to share this call for contributions with more researchers within your circles. All the best. BB
Dear Emad,
Climate change is an emphasis of the proposed book, together with food security and land management. Therefore, a presentation which include these 3 concepts is expected in manuscripts, as climate change has become an undeniable reality. I think the first couple of sentences in the call for contributions reiterate clearly this expectation from the book editors. Best regards, BB
Dear Prof Bruno Borsari,
Thanks for sharing the Call for Papers for the forthcoming book. I would be interested to contribute one paper for the same.

John Katana As I understand, you wanted to know the process of submitting book for publication? Normally, one submits a book proposal including an outline of the book, the Chapter scheme along with couple of sample Chapters. The Publisher takes a decision based on the review of the book proposal and its potential contribution and relevance to the thematic area being included in the book proposal. While submitting a book proposal, the name of authors (editors) along with their profile also need to be included. I hope, this helps. This was based on my experience in publishing with Springer and Routledge. Kindly ignore if you were seeking more information than the above. Thanks

Dear Sir, I'm an M.Sc. botany student. Can I submit a review paper for the "Climate Change, Food Security, and Land Management" book?
Hi Ranjan,
Yes! Absolutely. Follow the instruction as presented by the call for papers and submit your 200 words abstract first. Thank you for your interest in this project.
Dear Dr. Bruno Borsari
Dear researchers, in order for an article to become a book, the article must first be refereed. Reviewing an article is considered one of the most important and technical acts of book publishing. In this regard, as a peer reviewer, I cooperate with various journals in the world. A sample certificate of attendance is provided.
