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
Achieving sustainable cultivation of sorghum Volume 1
Comprehensive coverage of the latest research on the genetic diversity of sorghum Reviews key developments in breeding, from conventional to marker-assisted techniques, as well their application in developing higher-yielding, more stress-resistant varieties Discusses key elements in integrated crop, pest and weed management
Darwinian Agriculture
Harnessing evolution for more sustainable agriculture As human populations grow and resources are depleted, agriculture will need to use land, water, and other resources more efficiently and without sacrificing long-term sustainability. Darwinian Agriculture presents an entirely new approach to these challenges, one that draws on the principles of evolution and natural selection. R. Ford Denison shows how both biotechnology and traditional plant breeding can use Darwinian insights to identify promising routes for crop genetic improvement and avoid costly dead ends. Denison explains why plant traits that have been genetically optimized by individual selection—such as photosynthesis and drou...
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
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
Achieving sustainable management of tropical forests
Explores the broader economic, political and environmental context in which management of tropical forests needs to operate Particular focus on management structures and techniques to achieve sustainable forest management (SFM) on the ground Includes case studies of practical experience of managing tropical forests in South America, West Africa and Southeast Asia
Achieving sustainable cultivation of ornamental plants
Strong focus on environmental physiology, abiotic stress and breeding more abiotic stress-resistant varieties Reviews range of advanced marker-assisted breeding techniques, including gene editing Discusses key advances in the value chain to improve resource use for more sustainable production
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)
