Understanding gut microbiomes as targets for improving pig gut health
Provides a comprehensive coverage of the key ecosystem services delivered by the gut microbiome Analysis of the pig gut microbiome and its relationship with the pig gastrointestinal tract In-depth focus on the techniques available to optimise gut function as a means for improving pig gut health
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.
Frontiers in agri-food supply chains
Provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges facing agri-food supply chains, including the need to be more sustainable in light of the high environmental costs of global distribution Addresses the external factors that can impact the logistics and performance of supply chains, including political developments, international conflicts and pandemics such as COVID-19 Reviews the main agri-food supply chains used in different regions around the world, focussing on those implanted in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East
Improving rumen function
Reviews advances in understanding the role of different types of rumen microbiota such as archea, anaerobic fungi, viruses and the rumen wall microbial community Covers both the way the rumen processes fibre and protein and factors affecting outputs such as energy (affecting animal health), lipids (affecting meat and milk quality) and methane emissions (affecting environmental impact) Comprehensive review of the range of nutritional strategies to optimise rumen function such as the role of pasture, silage, cereal feed, plant secondary compounds and probiotics.
Achieving sustainable cultivation of maize Volume 2
Summarises current good agricultural practice in maize cultivation, from seed selection to nutrient management, conservation agriculture, rotations and intercropping; Reviews advances in understanding and managing diseases and pests such as viruses, nematodes and weeds; Discusses ways maize cultivation can be made more ‘climate smart’
Achieving sustainable cultivation of coffee
Covers recent research on coffee genetics, physiology and genetic diversity Reviews the latest developments in breeding new varieties Assesses advances in measuring and understanding the chemical composition and nutraceutical properties of coffee
Reconciling agricultural production with biodiversity conservation
Covers the theoretical framework underpinning biodiversity conservation in agriculture, as well as key developments in areas such as mapping and modelling diversity Comprehensive review of the range of biodiversity conservation practices such as field margins, hedgerows, agroforestry and improved grassland management Includes case studies of successful biodiversity conservation programmes
Improving poultry meat quality
Considers the impact of dietary background and availability of key nutrients and micronutrients on poultry meat quality Reviews the key quality defects associated with poultry muscle development, including dorsal cranial myopathy (DCM), pale soft exudative (PSE) and intramuscular connective tissue (ICMT) Provides a detailed assessment of the individual quality traits consumer expectations are driven by (colour, texture and flavour)
Advances in agri-food robotics
Provides a comprehensive review of the recent advances in agricultural robotics, such as advances in sensing and perception, as well as technologies and actuation Addresses our understanding of the social, ethical and economic aspects of agricultural robotics, including the regulatory frameworks and standards required to authorise their adoption Provides examples of the practical application of agricultural robotics in an array of agricultural settings, from greenhouse and orchard cultivation, to meat/fish processing
Understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables
Provides a comprehensive overview of the wealth of research on analysing, understanding and optimising the nutraceutical properties of fruit and vegetables, focussing primarily on phytochemicals/phytochemical compounds Reviews the current research on mechanisms of action and the potential role of key phytochemical compounds, such as antioxidants and flavonoids, in preventing the onset of chronic diseases Explores current advances in understanding and improving the nutraceutical properties of key horticultural crops, including apples, cranberries, broccoli and other brassicas
