Integrated Organic Farming Systems: Approach for Efficient Food Production and Environmental Sustainability
Researchers and policy planners are in search of a solution to address the twin challenges of maximizing agricultural production while maintaining/ improving ecosystem sustainability. Enhancing farm productivity is needed in certain regions of the world to satisfy local food consumption and farmers' needs. Linear economy-based-input intensive conventional agriculture (CAPS) has increased production output but has not made agriculture more sustainable. Henceforth, a farming system that aims to reduce the adverse impact on the environment, as well as enhance agricultural productivity by reducing environmental footprint and improving soil health and economic wellbeing is needed in the present d...
Food Security and Safety
This book focuses on food security and safety issues in Africa, a continent presently challenged with malnutrition and food insecurity. The continuous increase in the human population of Africa will lead to higher food demands, and climate change has already affected food production in most parts of Africa, resulting in drought, reduced crop yields, and loss of livestock and income. For Africa to be food-secure, safe and nutritious food has to be available, well-distributed, and sufficient to meet people’s food requirements. Contributors to Food Security and Safety: African Perspectives offer solutions to the lack of adequate safe and nutritious food in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as highl...
The Potential of Microbes for a Circular Economy
The Potential of Microbes for a Circular Economy provides a thorough understanding of the role of microbes in a circular economy (CE). It covers the development of effective bio-based formulations for field applications and describes the basic principles and applications of the circular economy, the important role of microorganisms, and new insights into a sustainable ecosystem.The Potential of Microbes for a Circular Economy compiles the latest advancement in the field of CE by covering the aspect of microbes and microbial products providing microbiologists the tools to engage with the wider public, policymakers and industry to inform the debate on addressing current challenges and showcasing the positive impacts of microbiology for society. - Provides a thorough understanding on the role of microbes in the circular economy that can help to develop effective bio-based formulations for field applications - Describes the basic principles and applications of the Circular Economy - Gives insights on the important role of microorganisms explored in the circular economy, which in turn provides new insights into the sustainable ecosystem
Food Microbiology Based Entrepreneurship

This book provides essential knowledge and working business protocols from all related disciplines of food and dairy industry, probiotics industry, mushroom industry, beverage and baking industry, poultry industry, and aquaculture industry etc. This book is useful to graduate students, research scholars and postdoctoral fellows, and teachers who belong to different disciplines via botany, food microbiology, biotechnology, aquaculture microbiology and poultry microbiology. The other two volumes are focused on agriculture and industrial microbiology.
Mycorrhiza - Function, Diversity, State of the Art
This is the fourth updated and revised edition of a well-received book that emphasises on fungal diversity, plant productivity and sustainability. It contains new chapters written by leading experts in the field. This book is an up-to-date overview of current progress in mycorrhiza and association with plant productivity and environmental sustainability. The result is a must hands-on guide, ideally suited for agri-biotechnology, soil biology, fungal biology including mycorrrhiza and stress management, academia and researchers. The topic of this book is particularly relevant to researchers involved in mycorrhiza, especially to food security and environmental protection. Mycorrhizas are symbioses between fungi and the roots of higher plants. As more than 90% of all known species of plants have the potential to form mycorrhizal associations, the productivity and species composition and the diversity of natural ecosystems are frequently dependent upon the presence and activity of mycorrhizas. The biotechnological application of mycorrhizas is expected to promote the production of food while maintaining ecologically and economically sustainable production systems.
Handbook for Azospirillum
The functional analysis of plant-microbe interactions has re-emerged in the past 10 years due to spectacular advances in integrative study models. This book summarizes basic and technical information related to the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) belonging to the genus Azospirillum, considered to be one of the most representative PGPR last 40 years. We include exhaustive information about the general microbiology of genus Azospirillum, their identification strategies; the evaluation of plant growth promoting mechanisms, inoculants technology and agronomic use of these bacteria and some special references to the genetic technology and use.
Bioremediation and Sustainable Technologies for Cleaner Environment
This book offers insights into the current focus and recent advances in bioremediation and green technology applications for waste minimization and pollution control. Increasing urbanization has an impact on the environment, agriculture and industry, exacerbating the pollution problem and creating an urgent need for sustainable and green eco-friendly remediation technology. Currently, there is heightened interest in environmental research, especially in the area of pollution remediation and waste conversion, and alternative, eco-friendly methods involving better usage of agricultural residues as economically viable substrates for environmental cleanup are still required. The book offers researchers and scholars inspiration, and suggests directions for specific waste management and pollution control. The research presented makes a valuable contribution toward a sustainable and eco-friendly societal environment.
Bioinoculants with Nano-compounds to Improve Soil Health: A Step Toward Sustainable Agriculture
In recent decades, agrochemicals have enhanced crop productivity to meet increasing global food requirements. However, prolonged and extensive use of agrochemicals has resulted in contamination that persists in the soil system which can be biomagnified in the food chain. Furthermore, toxic chemicals adversely affect important soil microbial biota, the key drivers of biogeochemical cycles. This concern has raised the need to develop environmentally friendly and cost-effective nano- and micro-biotechnology strategies to minimize the adverse impact of agrochemicals and pesticide residues on soil microbiota, soil fertility, and their biomagnification in food crops. Nano-bioinoculants - the combi...
