Agroforestry-Based Soil Restoration and Management focuses specifically on securing and improving soil health through agroforestry practices with the goal of improving overall soil sustainability. Through expert insights and case studies, the book promotes soil management, soil restoration, soil carbon sequestration, soil conservation, and soil ecosystem services management along with relevant sustainable approaches for soil resources conservation. It provides insight into novel approaches for soil resource management, with specific attention given to the latest technologies advancing this science. Agroforestry has the ability to contribute to improved food security, to mitigate climate impact, to provide income potential, and to improve overall environmental and community health. This integrated management system optimizes resource use, builds resilience and enhances food security. Agroforestry-based Soil Restoration and Management also proposes possible polices and plans for future research and implementation, the latest updates in the area of agroforestry research for soil sustainability, developments in soil conservation, carbon sequestration potential, addresses the knowledge gap in relation to agroforestry, sustainability and soil ecosystem management and explores the application of technological interventions for soil restoration and management under agroforestry.
- Presents both theoretical and practical insights from a field-based perspective
- Highlights the translational and multidisciplinary opportunities of agroforestry
- Explores the latest technologies for improving agroforestry practices
