摘要

Over two billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies, and many cannot afford a healthy diet. Horticultural products like fruit and vegetables are vital for nutrition but are under-consumed in most countries, low-income ones in particular. Climate change threatens horticulture due to the perishability and sensitivity of these crops and alters the incidence of pests. The chapter explores how crop diversity can help farmers adapt to climate risks. It also examines global adaptation strategies within horticultural systems.
