Our soil, water, and environment are threatened. Life is dependent on these resources. If the soil is lost, where can we produce food? If water is lost, how will life persist? If the environment is not clean, how will we survive? This book explores how to save them.
This book provides an overview of recent developments in the production and processing of jute and allied fibres, offering insights to improve productivity. It is essential for researchers, students, and stakeholders seeking to generate ideas for future innovations.
Adoption of Tissue Culture in Horticulture
This unique book examines the adoption of plant tissue culture by farmers. It explores the influence of this commercially successful biotechnology on the social organization of production and social relations at the micro-level.
Unlock the future of food processing. This guide details emerging techniques—from high-pressure processing to microencapsulation—that enhance quality, safety, and sustainability while meeting consumer demands. An essential reference for food scientists and innovators.
Successful turfgrass management does not occur by chance. This book provides the in-depth knowledge and understanding of the science needed to accomplish this. Chapters build upon previous ones to improve your understanding of the science and art of turfgrass management.
To ensure global food security amid escalating climate challenges, this book presents innovative approaches to enhance crop performance under stress. It details advanced physiological, molecular, and breeding methods to develop resilient, climate-smart cropping systems.
Advances in Crop Physiology
In an era of climate uncertainty, this book bridges plant physiology and practical agronomy. It explores the science of agricultural resilience, equipping readers with tools to optimize crop performance and build a more sustainable, productive agricultural future.
Climate change threatens agriculture, and the volatility of international wheat and rice prices will increase. This book shows how agricultural investments play a crucial role in stabilising global markets, decreasing food loss, and alleviating climate change risks.
Agriculture in an Urbanizing Society Volume Two
This conference proceedings represents the academic work of worldwide experts in food planning and urban agriculture. It is an overview of the latest research in the field, drawing from areas such as spatial planning and governance.
Man-made climate change poses a new crisis: how do we feed 10 billion people in a climate hostile to food security? This book explores the threat to our “daily bread” and argues that we are not without hope, offering solutions that can lead to a better future for humankind.
This book is a synthesis of agrochemical management practices for sustainable plant protection. It covers pesticides, growth regulators, post-harvest chemicals, and newer molecules, discussing their chemistry, efficacy, environmental fate, and new methods of pesticide analysis.
Agroforestry as a Nature-Based Solution
This groundbreaking book offers a practical roadmap to sustainable development through agroforestry—an innovative system that integrates trees, crops, and livestock. It shows how to enhance productivity, restore lands, sequester carbon, and build resilience to climate change.
AI Applications in Agriculture
This book explores how generative AI can revolutionize agriculture to tackle food security and sustainability. It bridges the gap between AI and farming with practical case studies and strategies for farmers, policymakers, and technologists to build a more robust future.
An Introduction to Roundworms
Discover roundworms: the Earth’s most pervasive yet little-known animals. This book reveals their impact on our health, agriculture, and ecosystems, and their vital role in space research, environmental monitoring, and pest control. Features interviews with renowned scientists.
Anatomy and Evolution of the Giraffe
Explore the legendary fossil beds of Samos, where ancient myths explained the bones of giant mammals. This book uncovers the island’s paleontological history, compares the anatomy of the giraffe, okapi, and extinct Samotherium, and maps the geology of these famed bone quarries.
Animal Space Use, Second Edition
Animal space use is complex. Memory and multi-scaled space use present deep challenges for biophysical modelling. This book confronts these issues, presenting novel models, a critical evaluation of existing concepts, and theoretical proposals to resolve present challenges.
This book studies arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a plant biostimulant key for future sustainable agriculture. AMF form symbiotic relations with plants, enhancing nutrient intake, boosting immunity against stress, and improving crop productivity.
Basics of Animal Communication
This short, systematic introduction to animal communication blends natural sciences and humanities in a multidisciplinary approach. A useful pedagogical tool for students and teachers, it is written in a clear, engaging style with a glossary and rich bibliography.
Biotechnology of Neglected and Underutilized Legume Crops
This book shines a spotlight on the hidden heroes of agriculture: underutilized legumes. From drought-resistant beans to nutrient-rich pulses, these crops offer real solutions for sustainable farming, global nutrition, and restoring ecosystems.
Butterfly Wings
Butterfly wing patterns evolved to protect against predators. But predators see a different world, reacting to colours and cues invisible to us. Their wings mimic dangerous animals—snakes, spiders, hawk eyes—to trigger alarm. Updated with new evidence and examples of mimicry.
