Ecosystem Management
This book is essential for anyone who wants to understand the challenges of environmental degradation and learn about the sustainable solutions needed to address these critical issues. Today, the entire globe is suffering from various forms of environmental degradation, resource depletion, and an imbalance of natural phenomena. In this context, one of the major issues is loss of ecosystem services and proper functioning of natural ecosystems. Pollution, ecological invasion, loss of biodiversity, land degradation, and loss of productivity across various ecosystems have become the biggest challenges humankind is faced with. Considering Sustainable Development Goals 2030, the major target is to restore degraded ecosystems and their functionality, which will bring back the valuable ecosystem services of a diverse ecosystem. Ecosystem Management: Climate Change and Sustainability addresses all these issues to teach a global readership the dimensions of ecosystem services and ways toward a future sustainable world.
Lubricants from Renewable Feedstocks
Written and edited by a team of industry experts, this exciting new volume covers the field of renewable lubricants, their processing, optimization, end-use application, and their future potential. Biolubricants are a viable alternative to synthetic lubricants because they are produced from organic materials such as plant oils, waste oils and by-products. Renewable biolubricants are the subject of research because of their biodegradability, eco-friendliness, and favorable socioeconomic consequences to counteract imitations of synthetic lubricants. Biolubricants have thus emerged as an ideal substitute for mineral oil-based lubricants, as significant economic and environmental acceptability h...
Geospatial Technology for Natural Resource Management
This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding and implementing sustainable resource development strategies, as it covers the crucial first stage of assessing resource availability and condition, along with the use of modern geospatial technologies such as remote sensing, GIS, and GPS for surveying, mapping, and monitoring various resources for global environmental protection and sustainable development. The first step in developing a sustainable resource strategy is assessing the availability and condition of resources. This involves evaluating baseline levels, identifying trends, and understanding their consequences. Mitigation policies are then developed based on this asses...
Computer Vision in Smart Agriculture and Crop Management
This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding how smart agriculture, utilizing information and technology such as computer vision and deep learning, can revolutionize agriculture productivity, resolve ongoing concerns, and enhance economic and general effectiveness in farming. The need for a reliable food supply has driven the development of smart agriculture, which leverages technology to assist farmers, especially in remote areas. A key component is computer vision (CV) technology, which, combined with deep learning, can manage agricultural productivity and enhance automation systems for improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Automation in agriculture ensures benefits like reduced costs, high performance, and accuracy. Aerial imaging and high-throughput research enable effective crop monitoring and management. Computer vision and AI models aid in detecting plant health, impurities, and pests, supporting sustainable farming. This book explores using CV and AI to develop smart agriculture through deep learning, data mining, and intelligent applications.
Mathematical Modeling in Agriculture
The main goal of the book is to explore the idea behind data modeling in smart agriculture using information and communication technologies and tools to make agricultural practices more functional, fruitful and profitable. The research in the book looks at the likelihood and level of use of implemented technological components with regard to the adoption of different precision agricultural technologies. To identify the variables affecting farmers’ choices to embrace more precise technology, zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial count data regression models were utilized. Outcomes from the count data analysis of a random sample of various farm operators show that various aspects, incl...
Agroforestry
This book offers comprehensive insights into the management of agroforestry for livelihood security and sustainable development in the tropics, addressing ecological interactions, productivity, and the monetization of carbon credits, while also outlining a future roadmap and policy challenges. Agroforestry is a brilliant land use farming practice that covers 1.6 billion hectares (78 percent in the tropics and 22 percent in the temperate regions) to enhance plant diversification, productivity, and livelihood across generations, maintaining eco-restoration. It ensures socioeconomic upliftment and a standard livelihood for people along with many ecosystem services for sustainable development un...
Nonthermal Food Processing, Safety, and Preservation
NONTHERMAL FOOD PROCESSING SAFETY AND PRESERVATION This book is essential for learning how biological processes are translated into commercial products and services under food biotechnology and will significantly broaden users’ scope, capabilities, and application of bioprocess engineering, food processes, biochemical engineering, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and microbiology. Food engineering involves a variety of processes and technologies that deal with the construction, design, operations, and associated engineering principles to produce valuable edible goods and byproducts. There is a dearth of published cutting-edge high-quality original studies in the engineering and science of al...
Smart Agritech
The main goal of Smart Agritech: Robotics, AI, and Internet of Things (IoT) in Agriculture is to explore how emerging technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT can be leveraged to improve efficiency, sustainability, and productivity in agriculture. Agriculture has always been a vital sector of the global economy, providing food and raw materials for industries and households. However, with the growing population, changing climate conditions, and limited resources, the agriculture sector faces numerous challenges. To address these challenges, farmers and agricultural companies are turning to advanced technologies such as Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and t...

Oils and Fats as Raw Materials for Industry
Vegetable oils are the tri-esters on hydrolysis yield fatty acids and glycerol. Vegetable oils themselves or their fatty acids obtained after hydrolysis can be exploited as a raw material for various industries. Fatty acids due to owing active carboxylic avid group reacts easily with alcohols, acids and amines and gives products with ester and amide linkages. In addition, long alkyl chains incorporate hydrophobicity into products, enabling them for use in various industrial applications. In addition, these fatty acids are used to make various cyclic compounds with heteroatoms like imidazolines and ammonium quats. Oils and fats can be used as raw materials in many industries including food an...
