Book Synopsis Crop Stress Management and Global Climate Change by : José Luis Araus
Download or read book Crop Stress Management and Global Climate Change written by José Luis Araus and published by CABI. This book was released on 2011 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture has shaped our planet into the world we know, but its continued success is threatened by changing weather patterns. Climate change is a diverse, multifactorial phenomenon and the agronomic strategies we employ to combat its effects need to be case-specific, with significant regional differences. With two major sections, the first explaining the challenges posed by climate change and the second reviewing the current research avenues employed, this book combines detailed discussion of physiological plant responses with practical experience on crop stress management and breeding. Using a number of illustrative case studies, it discusses how the stresses resulting from climate change could be overcome by assessing, measuring and predicting environmental changes and stresses, and identifying opportunities for adapting to multifactorial change. A global effort to combine climate change science with policy is desperately needed. Climate change will continue to pose many challenges to agriculture in the future but by taking an integrative approach to predicting and adapting to change, this book will inspire researchers to turn those challenges into opportunities.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 51 by : Praveen Guleria
Download or read book Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 51 written by Praveen Guleria and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of climate change, pollution and food safety, the current challenge is to enhance legumes production to sustain the growing population needs by 2050. This is a daunting task because abiotic and biotic stresses are threatening the growth, survival and productivity of legumes. For instance, the productivity of legumes is documented to be reduced by 14-88% by abiotic stresses. The co-occurrence of abiotic and biotic stresses under field conditions leads to interactive stress types, thus yielding positive or negative outcomes. Legumes react using antioxidant defense, osmoregulatory adjustments, hormonal regulations and molecular mechanisms to tolerate stress. Hence, improving legume productivity requires knowledge on the sensitivity, mechanisms and approaches of stress tolerance in legumes, in order to design new crops and alternative management systems. This book presents advances on bioactive compounds, applications, effect of various stresses and biotechnology-based stress tolerance mechanisms of legumes. This is our second volume on Legume Agriculture and Biotechnology, published in the series Sustainable Agriculture Reviews.

The gravity of the global situation is increasingly apparent. The future ability of man to feed growing populations is regarded as a problem needing interdependent national and global solution. 21 speeches by world authorities at major FAO occasions during a 20-year period show a change in emphasis, from an attitude of adapting food production to population requirements to realization of an urgent need for simultaneous action on both fronts. Issues of agricultural development, food supply, human values, hunger, demographics, world food supplies, economic growth, population policy, innovations, and political will are addressed.
Book Synopsis Tropical Agroforestry by : Alain Atangana
Download or read book Tropical Agroforestry written by Alain Atangana and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agroforestry is recognized as a sustainable land-use management in the tropics, as it provides environmental-friendly ecosystems; it also provides people with their every day need for food and cash. Since the recognition of agroforestry as a science, curricula have been developed for agroforestry programs for undergraduate and graduate trainings in Universities. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and make available educational material. This textbook strives to provide up-to-date information on tropical agroforestry to serve as educational material in the tropical context. The authoritative textbook of Nair (1993) on agroforestry was published 18 years ago, and before the advent of tree domestication, an important agroforestry practice today. In addition, many other research activities, such as carbon sequestration and integrated pest management, have been included in the agroforestry agenda. This textbook is intended for agroforestry students, teachers, and practitioners.

Book Synopsis Health, Risk, and Adversity by : Catherine Panter-Brick
Download or read book Health, Risk, and Adversity written by Catherine Panter-Brick and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on health involves evaluating the disparities that are systematically associated with the experience of risk, including genetic and physiological variation, environmental exposure to poor nutrition and disease, and social marginalization. This volume provides a unique perspective - a comparative approach to the analysis of health disparities and human adaptability - and specifically focuses on the pathways that lead to unequal health outcomes. From an explicitly anthropological perspective situated in the practice and theory of biosocial studies, this book combines theoretical rigor with more applied and practice-oriented approaches and critically examines infectious and chronic diseases, reproduction, and nutrition.
