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 ...
Biochar in Mitigating Abiotic Stress in Plants
Biochar for Mitigating Abiotic Stress in Plants provides a unique and leading resource for utilizing biochar to address specific plant health challenges, including osmotic, ionic, and oxidative stress. With a focus on crop yielding plants, the book provides targeted application insights to improve plant health, and resulting crop production. Readers will find important tools toward the identification, treatment, and management of a variety of abiotic stressors through the effective and appropriate application of biochar. This is an important reference for those seeking to apply current knowledge and an inspiration for further research in the area.Biochar is a carbon-rich organic substance pr...
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.
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.
