      Rice Production and Processing Sustainability presents the challenges and opportunities facing this globally important crop as climate impact and environmental instability threatens production and ultimately food security. Food production, like other industries worldwide, is experiencing revolutions in automation, artificial intelligence, digitization, big data, and bioinformatics. The simultaneous increasingly volatile situation of environmental impact by climate requires careful and deliberate consideration of these issues, and their potential impact on sustainability. This book focuses on one of the world's most important commodities: rice. Rice must be produced en masse to support the rising global population; yet this must be done carefully and in balance and at a rate that is sustainable, in an ecosystem that is already unstable. Rice Production and Processing Sustainability discusses corrective measures, as well as serving to educate the reader of the need to balance food production and environmental protection.

      Aflatoxin Management in Crops: Challenges and Opportunities provides a comprehensive look at current insights into aflatoxin contamination in agricultural crops and its effect on human health on global level. With insights from around the globe, it presents the latest advances in the understanding of the contamination and management strategies for aflatoxins in cereals, millets, oilseed, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Aflatoxin contamination in crops is a global threat that compromises the safety of food, feed, and also influence the agricultural economy and crop-dependent small scale industries. Crops can be contaminated during the process of harvesting, storing, and transporting by the fungi and leads to the productions of several mycotoxins. Aflatoxin can be extremely harmful if consumed, being linked to cancer-, immune-, and nutritionally related diseases. Aflatoxin Management in Crops: Challenges and Opportunities includes the biology of fungi and the chemistry behind the toxicity level of different aflatoxin strains as well as advances in detection techniques and management strategies. It concludes by exploring the different effects of aflatoxin on human health and regulatory laws to control its contamination.

      Agricultural Water Management in Africa: Lessons Learned and Future Directions provides an overview of the status of irrigation development and AWM practices and technologies in Africa and the global south, and provides guidelines, scenarios, and investment plans to guide the prioritization and operationalization of irrigation development and AWM under climate change. The African Union (AU) is driving investment and improvement in agricultural water management and transformation in Africa through the operationalization of the AU Irrigation Development and Agricultural Water Management in Africa (AU-IDAWM). The AU-IDAWM provides a framework that identifies four development pathways for enhanced agricultural water management practices across Africa. The pathways are as follows: (1) Improved water control and watershed management in rain-fed farming, (2) Farmer-led Irrigation Development (FLID), (3) Irrigation scheme development and modernisation, and (4) Unconventional water use for irrigation.This book explores the status of AWM at a continental scale as guided by the AU-IDAWM pathways. It also incorporates case studies from the global South (Asia and Latin America) to foster south-south knowledge sharing. The book considers cross-cutting issues such as the water-energy-food nexus and circular economy within the context of sustainable AWM development.
