    Organized into five thematic sections, Sustainable Science and Technologies for Agriculture and Environment situates contemporary advances—spanning soil microbial ecology and biostimulants, nanotechnology, predictive computational modeling, and integrative omics—within the framework of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and surveys how each contributes to measurable progress toward those targets.The book bridges two scales of inquiry that are often treated apart. At the level of the field, it addresses how productivity can be enhanced without depleting natural capital, drawing on biological inputs, nutrient enrichment of staple foods, and the accounting of emissions from cultivation. At the level of the organism, it traces the physiological and genetic mechanisms through which plants withstand abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and heat, together with the breeding and selection approaches that consolidate such resilience.Connectin... the two are cross-cutting methods—engineered materials, algorithmic forecasting, and molecular analysis—whose capabilities are assessed alongside their limitations.For researchers, graduate students, and practitioners alike, the value lies in seeing discovery and deployment held in a single frame, in the service of a common end: to secure food and nutritional sufficiency while safeguarding the integrity of the natural world.
