Advances in poultry nutrition
Reviews the development of novel feed sources as feed for poultry, focussing on the use of essential oils, macroalgae, microalgae and corn fermented protein Addresses the recent advances in understanding the role of individual nutrients and additives in poultry nutrition Considers the range of methods and techniques implementable to maintain the safety of poultry feed and prevent mycotoxin contamination
Improving water management in agriculture
Provides a comprehensive overview of the interventions available to optimise water management in agriculture, including rainwater harvesting and farm reservoirs Considers the development and application of alternative irrigation techniques which carry a reduced environmental impact, such as solar powered irrigation Addresses the importance of diversification and collaboration in securing water resources for a rapidly growing population
Integrated weed management for sustainable agriculture
Summarises latest research on IWM principles and methods Assesses current challenges facing herbicide use Detailed review of the range of cultural, physical and biological methods of control available for IWM.
Advances in crop modelling for a sustainable agriculture
Focus on development of next generation of whole farm models to improve decision making and support for farmers Addresses the challenges of combining modular sub-systems into whole farm system models Reviews the performance of specific models such as APSIM and DSSAT
Achieving sustainable cultivation of sugarcane Volume 1
Provides a comprehensive review of best practice in sugarcane cultivation across the value chain from planting through to post-harvest operations Assesses alternative uses of sugarcane for bioenergy and other applications Assesses the environmental impact of sugarcane cultivation
Achieving sustainable cultivation of sorghum Volume 2
Discusses latest research on sorghum structure, chemistry and physiology Reviews varied uses of sorghum as a feed and food grain, forage and energy crop Includes case studies of key challenges facing sorghum cultivation in regions such as Asia, Africa and South America
Advances in Conservation Agriculture Volume 3
Summarises current research on the adoption of Conservation Agriculture (CA) principles in different regions around the world Highlights the emergence of CA as a key alternative to tillage-based agriculture Reviews the challenges of effective implementation of CA in different contexts (e.g. drier conditions, poor soil quality)
Improving standards and certification in agri-food supply chains
Considers a range of techniques used for measuring compliance and improving performance across the agri-food supply chain, including those used to measure on-farm carbon footprints and biodiversity Provides a useful and comprehensive context to the role of governments and other food safety agencies in setting safety, quality and sustainability standards for global agri-food supply chains Reviews the key issues in developing voluntary standards, focussing on those encountered during the development of robust carbon-neutral and biodiversity offsetting certification schemes
Developing smart agri-food supply chains
Highlights current issues that challenge the safety of agri-food supply chains (e.g. food adulteration, malicious contamination) Assesses the recent developments implemented to improve safety and quality at all levels of the agri-food supply chain, including the use of smart agri-food systems Emphasis on the need for improved tracking and traceability systems of food products to prevent and manage potential threats to safety
Assessing the environmental impact of agriculture
Assesses current best practice and methodological issues in life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology for agriculture Looks in detail at particular types of environmental impact such as nutrient Reviews the environmental assessment and optimization of sectors such as crops, ruminant and other livestock production as well as by-products.
