Nutritional Epigenomics, Second Edition, Volume Fourteen in the Translational Epigenetics series, offers a comprehensive overview of nutritional epigenomics as a mode of study, along with nutrition’s role in the epigenomic regulation of disease, health, and developmental processes. Here, an expert team of international contributors introduces readers to nutritional epigenomic regulators of gene expression, our diet’s role in epigenomic regulation of disease and disease inheritance, caloric restriction and exercise as they relate to recent epigenomic findings, and the influence of nutritional epigenomics over circadian rhythms, aging and longevity, and fetal health and development, among other processes.Disease specific chapters address metabolic disease (obesity and diabetes), cancer, and neurodegeneration, among other disorders. Diet-gut microbiome interactions in the epigenomic regulation of disease are also discussed, as is the role of micronutrients and milk miRNAs in epigenetic regulation. Finally, chapter authors examine ongoing discussions of race and ethnicity in the social-epigenomic regulation of health and disease. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect current research in the field.

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.
