Attempts to apply nanotechnology in agriculture began with the growing realization that conventional farming technologies would neither be able to increase productivity any further nor restore ecosystems damaged by existing technologies back to their pristine state; in particular because the long-term effects of farming with “miracle seeds” in conjunction with irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides, have been questioned both at the scientific and policy levels and must be gradually phased out.
Gardening during times of crisis can have significant benefits to individuals and populations in terms of health, well-being, social and economic outcomes.
Green Biotechnology for Herbal and Medicinal Plant Metabolites presents an innovative approach that leverages plant-derived molecules for agriculture, medicine, and wellness in pursuit of sustainable health solutions.
This textbook is the first to teach insect physiology and biology specifically to students who lack a strong background in biochemistry and molecular biology.

This book probes the ethical, practical, and sociopolitical implications of leveraging innovative and disruptive means to address the world's various environmental crises.
This book focuses on upland agricultural systems and applies a multiple capitals approach to explain what they can provide at a time when many are struggling to survive.
As humanity sits at an existential crossroads, this book introduces the need to build a nature-positive future to secure the functioning and stability of Earth systems essential to the survival and wellbeing of present and future human generations as well as the rest of Earth's amazing diversity of life.
With significant concerns about the environmental impact of conventional crop and livestock production, there is a growing interest in utilising novel alternative sources of protein in both human and animal diets.
This new book addresses the reuse of food residue and byproduct valorization of fruits, vegetables, and seeds, providing a thorough survey of natural resource management and environmental issues that are at the heart of sustainability.
Blockchain and Digital Twin Applications in Smart Agriculture presents scenarios, solutions, applications to optimize crop management, improve resource allocation, and enhance sustainability in modern farming practices.
Includes a DVD Containing All Figures and Supplemental Images in PowerPointThis new edition of Plant Propagation Concepts and Laboratory Exercises presents a robust view of modern plant propagation practices such as vegetable grafting and micropropagation.
In agriculture, microbial biotechnology covers a wide array of subjects ranging from biofertilizers to biological control of pests and diseases; from biological N 2 -fixation to lignocellulose degradation; from production of biomass and biofuels to genetically engineered plants.
Organic vegetable farming involves the use of biological resources and avoiding the use of synthetic substances for maintaining soil productivity and ecological balance, thereby minimizing wastage and environmental pollution.
