Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book addresses the rapidly growing field focused on sustainable food and energy production for current and future generations. It tackles pressing issues like climate change, rising food and fuel prices, starvation in poorer nations, obesity in wealthier ones, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. The text proposes innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions by integrating knowledge from various disciplines, including agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economics, and social sciences. Sustainable agriculture examines processes from the molecular level to global systems, considering time scales from seconds to centuries. Scientists employ a systems approach, studying the interactions within whole systems rather than applying narrow, classical methods that only address symptoms. By focusing on the root causes of intertwined societal issues, sustainable agriculture offers pathways to a safer world. This series compiles review articles that analyze contemporary agricultural challenges and propose alternative solutions, serving as a resource for scientists, decision-makers, educators, farmers, and politicians dedicated to creating a sustainable food and energy system for future generations.
