Sustainable Cropping Systems
Global crop production must substantially increase to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. This is constrained by the availability of nutrients, water, and land. There is also an urgent need to reduce the negative environmental impacts of crop production. Collectively, these issues represent one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Sustainable cropping systems based on ecological principles are the core of integrated approaches to solve this critical challenge. This special issue provides an international basis for revealing the underlying mechanisms of sustainable cropping systems to drive agronomic innovations. It includes review and original research articles that report novel scientific findings on improvement in cropping systems related to crop yields and their resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors, resource use efficiency, environmental impact, sustainability, and ecosystem services.
Advances in Food and Non-Food Biomass Production, Processing and Use in Sub-Saharan Africa
The bioeconomy concept aims to add sustainability to the production, transformation, and trade of biological goods. Though implemented around the world, the development of national bioeconomies is uneven, especially in the global South, where major challenges exist in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, the international BiomassWeb project aimed to underpin the bioeconomy concept by applying the value web approach, which seeks to uncover complex interlinked value webs instead of linear value chains. The project also aimed to develop intervention options to strengthen and optimize the synergies and trade-offs among different value chains. The Special Issue “Advances in Food and Non-Food Biomass Production, Processing and Use in Sub-Saharan Africa: Toward a Basis for a Regional Bioeconomy" compiles 23 articles produced in this framework. The articles are grouped in four sections: the value web approach; the production side; processing, transformation and trade; and global views.
Farming Systems for Sustainable Agriculture
"Farming Systems for Sustainable Agriculture" explores the vital role of modern and efficient farming practices in ensuring food security and sustainable growth. We cover the evolution of farming techniques, highlighting how ancient methods have been replaced by modern, time-saving, and energy-efficient practices. Our book details various types of farming practiced worldwide, summarizing the most effective methods. We discuss the development of new plant strains to combat diseases, ensuring healthier crops and higher yields. Each chapter is designed to provide clear and concise information, making it accessible to all readers. We emphasize the importance of sustainable agriculture, focusing on crop production, diagnosis, assessment, protection, and conservation. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in modern farming techniques and sustainable agriculture practices.
