Climate Change and Ecosystems
The global population is projected to increase by 3.3 billion from 6.7 billion in 2008 to 10 billion in 2100. As a result, soil degradation and desertification are growing due to the increasing demand for food, feed, fiber, and fuel on finite soil resources. The problem of global food insecurity may be further worsened by the threat of global warming. Climate change is showing its impacts in terms of increasing temperatures, variable rainfall, and an increase in climate-related extremes such as floods, droughts, cyclones, sea-level rise, salinity, and soil erosion. The agriculture sector is the most sensitive to climate change because the climate of a region/country determines the nature and...
Principles and Practices of OMICS and Genome Editing for Crop Improvement
Global food security is increasingly challenging in light of population increase, the impact of climate change on crop production, and limited land available for agricultural expansion. Plant breeding and other agricultural technologies have contributed considerably for food and nutritional security over the last few decades. Genetic engineering approaches are powerful tools that we have at our disposal to overcome substantial obstacles in the way of efficiency and productivity of current agricultural practices. Genome engineering via CRISPR/Cas9, Cpf1, base editing and prime editing, and OMICs through genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, phenomics, an metabolomics have helped to discover ...
Public Health, Governance, Green Environment and Economy
Sustainable economic growth is important due to its implications for the ecosystem, natural resources, and human development. Public health is also a key factor in developing a sustainable economy, and it is a national asset because of its impact on labor supply and productivity. Health conditions depend on various factors, such as environmental hazards, availability of public facilities, economic conditions, pandemics etc. Green energy has an association with health, as it guarantees a clean environment. Such measures are necessary to improve the public’s mental and physical health, leading to sustainable economic growth. Hence, green energy, governance, and health are the potential avenues to enhance public health, promoting sustainable economic growth.
Crop Nutrition
In the face of global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and food security, understanding and optimizing crop nutrition has never been more critical. Crop Nutrition addresses these urgent issues by providing an in-depth exploration of how effective nutrient management can enhance soil health, boost food production, and contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book delves into key aspects of crop nutrition, covering the essentials of nutrient management, the role of primary, secondary, and micronutrients, and innovative practices for sustainable agriculture. Each chapter provides comprehensive insights into various nutrients, their function...
Environment, Climate, Plant and Vegetation Growth
This book provides an up-to-date account of the current understanding of climate change and global warming related to environment, climate, plant and vegetation growth. The aim of this book is to provide a platform for scientists and academics world-wide to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of plant and vegetation growth related to climate change. Over the next decades, it is predicted that billions of people, particularly those in developing countries, face shortages of water and food and greater risks to health and life as a result of climate change. Concerted global action is needed to enable developing countries to adapt to the effects of climate change that are happening now and will worsen in the future. The book will also enhance the understanding on issues related to climate change, giving a clear indication of a looming global warming crisis. Addressing global climate change is a monumental battle that can only be fought by the leaders of tomorrow, but future leaders are molded through education and shaped by the leaders of today.
Machine Intelligence Techniques for Data Analysis and Signal Processing
This book comprises the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Machine Intelligence and Signal Processing (MISP2022). The contents of this book focus on research advancements in machine intelligence, signal processing, and applications. The book covers the real-time challenges involved while processing big data analytics and stream processing with the integration of smart data computing services and interconnectivity. It also includes the progress in signal processing to process the normal and abnormal categories of real-world signals such as signals generated from IoT devices, smart systems, speech, and videos and involves biomedical signal processing: electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electromyogram (EMG), etc. This book proves a valuable resource for those in academia and industry.

Building Climate Resilience in Agriculture
This volume discusses the need to adopt Climate-Resilient Agriculture (CRA) practices to address the increasing global impact that climate change has on agricultural productivity and agriculture-dependent communities. This approach applies technological, policy and economic measures to achieve sustainable agricultural growth in the sectors of grain, fruit, vegetable, fiber, feed, livestock, fisheries and forestry, with the ultimate goal of adapting and building resilience to climate change. The book also uses GIS, crop modeling and remote sensing techniques for future climate resilience applications in agriculture, and covers pest control measures that avoid the use of pesticides to boost crop and livestock productivity for improved food security. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in environmental science, climate science, sustainability and agriculture, as well as policy makers and environmental organizations.
Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance
Plants have to manage a series of environmental stresses throughout their entire lifespan. Among these, abiotic stress is the most detrimental; one that is responsible for nearly 50% of crop yield reduction and appears to be a potential threat to global food security in coming decades. Plant growth and development reduces drastically due to adverse effects of abiotic stresses. It has been estimated that crop can exhibit only 30% of their genetic potentiality under abiotic stress condition. So, this is a fundamental need to understand the stress responses to facilitate breeders to develop stress resistant and stress tolerant cultivars along with good management practices to withstand abiotic ...
