Improving organic animal farming
Reviews key challenges and solutions in improving the health and welfare of organic farm animals Addresses how organic livestock farming can build on smallholder systems such as pastoralism and agroforestry Includes case studies on improving organic farming of dairy and beef cattle, sheep and goats, pig and poultry
Improving gut health in poultry
Particular focus on development of the chicken gut microbiome over the lifetime of the bird Reviews interactions between pathogens and the gut and the role of antibiotics in this process Comprehensive review of research on efficacy of poultry feed additives: probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, antimicrobials, essential oils and other botanicals, cereal grains
Achieving sustainable management of boreal and temperate forests
Focuses on advances in understanding forest ecophysiology which underpin good management, including mechanisms of root and canopy development. Explores the key challenges in ensuring forest management is consistent with forest ecosystem services, particularly managing the transition from monocultures to complex stands Highlights ways of diversifying forest products, including novel uses of timber, biomass, non-timber products and recreational services.
Achieving sustainable crop nutrition
Focus on integrating research on nutrient cycling, crop nutrient processing and the environmental impact of fertiliser use to identify ways of improving nutrient use efficiency (NUE) in the use of particular fertilisers Includes research on a range of secondary macronutrients and micronutrients including: calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron, manganese and molybdenum Reviews a wide range of options for reducing/optimising current levels of fertiliser use
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.
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
Understanding and improving the functional and nutritional properties of milk
Comprehensive coverage of the latest research in isolating and analysing the diverse range of compounds in milk Reviews the genetic factors that affect milk composition, as well as the ways milk chemistry can affect sensory quality Explores the importance of milk as a valuable commodity
Impacts of Agriculture on Human Health and Nutrition - Volume I
Impacts of Agriculture on Human Health and Nutrition is a component of Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. The Theme on Agriculture on Human Health and Nutrition provides the essential aspects and a number of issues of importance in human life: Global Prevalence of Micronutrient Malnutrition and Impacts on the Health of Children; Community-Centered Food-Based Strategies for Alleviating and Preventing Malnutrition; Influence of Mineral Fertilizers on Nutritional Quality of Staple Food Crops; Molecular Genetic Approaches to Improve the Nutritional Quality of Staple Food Crops; Nutritional Consequences of Using Organic Agricultural Methods in Developing Countries which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
Achieving sustainable cultivation of potatoes Volume 1
Reviews latest research on understanding potato plant physiology and genetic variety Discusses major advances in conventional and hybrid breeding as well as their application in improved varieties Focuses on ways of supporting smallholders in key regions such as Africa
Pesticides and agriculture
Discusses the competitive strategies of the major pesticide companies Identifies the main forces driving the pesticides industry Explains the evolution of the pesticide industry as a context for understanding its future development
