Download or read book Diversified Agri food Production Systems for Nutritional Security written by Anup Das and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutritional security and ecosystem sustainability are the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Globally ~ 2.3 billion people suffer from malnutrition. According to estimates by the World Bank, malnutrition globally costs ~ $ 3.5 trillion per year. On the other hand, the production and availability of staple food is the major emphasis for conventional farming in developing and underdeveloped countries for assured food security. These staple foods are high in carbohydrates and energy availability but low in nutritional value, such as concerning micronutrient, phytochemical, and vitamin contents. Apart from adequate food, there should be consistent access, availability, and affordability of foods and beverages that are nutrient-dense, promote well-being, and minimize diseases. From the experience of the recent COVID-19 crisis, the importance of adequate dietary habits has been emphasized globally since food nutrients are considered inherent sources of immunomodulation.

Download or read book Crop Physiology written by Victor Sadras and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-09-17 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From climate change to farming systems to genetic modification of organisms, Crop Physiology, Second Edition provides a practical tool for understanding the relationships and challenges of successful cropping. With a focus on genetic improvement and agronomy, this book addresses the challenges of environmentally sound production of bulk and quality food, fodder, fiber, and energy which are of ongoing international concern. The second edition of Crop Physiology continues to provide a unique analysis of these topics while reflecting important changes and advances in the relevant science and implementation systems. Contemporary agriculture confronts the challenge of increasing demand in terms of quantitative and qualitative production targets. These targets have to be achieved against the background of soil and water scarcity, worldwide and regional shifts in the patterns of land use driven by both climate change and the need to develop crop-based sources of energy, and the environmental and social aspects of agricultural sustainability. - Provides a view of crop physiology as an active source of methods, theories, ideas, and tools for application in genetic improvement and agronomy - Written by leading scientists from around the world - Combines environment-specific cropping systems and general principles of crop science to appeal to advanced students, and scientists in agriculture-related disciplines, from molecular sciences to natural resources management

Download or read book Irrigated Soils written by David Wynne Thorne and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Of The Arable Soils Of Humid Temperate Areas Are Now Employed For Crop Production. With An Ever-Increasing Population, The World Is Again Rapidly Turning To The Further Development Of Irrigation In The Semi-Arid And Arid Lands Which Comprise Over Half Of The Earth S Land Surface. Today More Than Half Of The World S Population Is Dependent On Food Produced Under Irrigation. Authors Have Kept Constantly In Mind The Idea Of Integrated Plants Which Will Give Maximum Production On Irrigated Farms. In This Approach, Discussion Of Such Topics As Soil Water Relations, Salt, Alkali, Soil Physical Properties, Organic Matter, Crop Rotations, Fertilizers, And Irrigation Practice Have Been Directed Toward Recognizing The Solving Practical Farm Problems. The Emphasis On Farm Planning Throughout The Book Has Been Brought To A Final Conclusion With A New Chapter On Planning The Irrigated Farm. The Recent Rapid Expansion Of Irrigation In Humid Regions At First Thought Seems To Justify Special Treatment. But Further Consideration Indicates That The Same Fundamental Principles Are Involved Wherever Irrigation Is Practiced, Whether In Arid Or Humid Areas. The Salt Problem Seldom Occurs In Humid Regions And Liming Must Be Practiced, But Still The Underlying Principles Of Irrigation Agriculture Are The Same. In Preparing The Manuscript The Authors Have Sought To Emphasize Fundamental Principles That Underlie Soil Management Practices. Emphasis Is On Basic Principles Rather Than On Field Practices. The General Approach Is To Present First The Fundamental Principles And Second The Applications Of The Principles In Solving Individual Problems. The Authors Sought To Bring Together Viewpoints From Different Fields Of Investigation And To Harmonize Them Into An Integrated Presentation. For Example, In Soil Moisture Studies, Soil Scientists Have Customarily Dealt In Terms Of Physical Stresses Exerted On Moisture By Capillary Pull And Adsorption By Soil Particles; Plant Physiologists Have Been Concerned With Osmotic Stress Value Resulting From Salts Dissolved In Soil Or Culture Solutions. In Irrigation Agriculture, Both Concepts Are Vitally Important And Are Presented As A Unified Principle That Must Be Evaluated In Estimating The Water Relations Of Plants In Irrigated Soils. This Book Will Be Useful In College Dealing With Irrigation And The Management Of Irrigated Soils, But Also As A Reference Guide To Those Giving Technical Advice To Farmers On The Management Of Irrigated Soils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fertilizer application can increase crop yields and improve global food security, and thus has the potential to eliminate hunger and poverty. However, excessive amounts of fertilizer application can contribute to groundwater pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, eutrophication, deposition and disruptions to natural ecosystems, and soil acidification over time. Small farmers in many countries think inorganic fertilizers are expensive and degrade soils, and thus policymakers want to promote organic instead of inorganic fertilizers. To develop practical fertilizer recommendations for farmers, yield responses to applied fertilizers from inorganic and organic sources, indigenous nutrient supply from soil, and nutrient use efficiency require consideration. There is a lack of sufficient scientific understanding regarding the need and benefit of integrated nutrient management (i.e., judicious use of inorganic and organic sources of nutrients) to meet the nutrient demand of high-yielding crops, increase yields and profits, and reduce soil and environmental degradation. Inadequate knowledge has constrained efforts to develop precision nutrient management recommendations that aim to rationalize input costs, increase yields and profits, and reduce environmental externalities. This Special Issue of the journal provided some evidence of the usefulness of integrated nutrient management to sustain soil resources and supply nutrients to crops grown with major cereal and legume crops in some developing countries.
