    • Encyclopedia of Agriculture and Food Systems

      • 3rd Edition
      • Peter Alexander
      • English
      Encyclopedia of Agriculture and Food Systems 3rd Edition, Six-volume set addresses important issues by examining topics of global agriculture and food systems that are key to understanding the challenges we face. Questions it addresses include:Will we be able to produce enough food to meet the increasing dietary needs and wants of the additional two billion people expected to inhabit our planet by 2050?Will we be able to meet the need for so much more food while simultaneously reducing adverse environmental effects of today’s agriculture practices?Will we be able to produce the additional food using less land and water than we use now?Climate change mitigation and adaptationBiodiversi... aspectsTechnology/in... versus globalResilienceThes... are among the most important challenges that face our planet in the coming decades. The broad themes of food systems and people, agriculture and the environment, the science of agriculture, agricultural products, and agricultural production systems are covered in more than 150 separate chapters of this work. The book provides information that serves as the foundation for discussion of the food and environment challenges of the world. An international group of highly respected authors addresses these issues from a global perspective and provides the background, references, and linkages for further exploration of each of topics of this comprehensive work.

    • Magnetic Nanomaterials for Plant and Soil Systems Improvement

      • 1st Edition
      • Azamal Husen
      • English
      Magnetic Nanomaterials for Plant and Soil Systems Improvement discusses the impact of nanotechnology on plant growth, disease resistance, and soil enrichment, specifically focusing on magnetic nanomaterials like iron, iron oxide, cobalt, and nickel ferrite nanoparticles. The book starts with an introduction to the properties and fabrication processes of magnetic nanomaterials for plant and soil system application. It then extensively examines the influence of these materials on plant biology, growth, production, and the broader plant-soil system. This book includes discussions on the environmental safety of nanomaterials, plant stress management, plant disease control, and ethical considerations associated with the use of magnetic nanomaterials in plant and soil systems. Tailored for advanced students, scientists, and researchers in materials science, nanotechnology, and agriculture, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of how magnetic nanomaterials can effectively enhance crop performance.

      • English
      Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation: Emerging Roles for the Microbiome and Epigenome is a comprehensive guide that delves into the intricate relationship between diet and inflammation to regulate inflammatory diseases. Divided into five insightful sections, this book provides an introduction to the microbiome and epigenome in nutrition, exploring the impact of diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome on the development of inflammatory diseases. With a focus on nutrition and the epigenome in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, the chapters tackle crucial topics such as histone modifications, DNA methylation, and non-coding RNAs in disease progression. Addressing health disparities in diet, epigenetics, and gut microbes, this book is a valuable resource for nutrition researchers, nutritionists, postgraduate students, and professionals in related fields. From the multifactorial microbial networks shaping aging to practical applications for diet and lifestyle improvements, this book offers practical insights for enhancing microbial and epigenetic health.
