Presented in three parts, the first addresses cassava diversity and distribution, sustainable production and cultivation practices, and root processing innovations of the crop. Cassava trade policies and economic value chains, food safety and use of cassava, and agro-industrial cassava products are addressed in the second part. The third part focuses on bioeconomy aspects, cassava waste quality assessment, toxicology, sanitary practices, environmental risk assessment as well as sustainable management strategies for cassava waste using biotechnological and industrial advances.
Addressing the need for a unified and standardized approach for the trade, management, and utilization of cassava genetic resources, finished products, and cassava processing wastes, the book also explores policy and governance structure for addressing environmental and economic issues emanating from their use.
- Presents best practices and ideas from around the world, including technological advances for Cassava production and use
- Focuses on sustainability throughout the lifecycle
- Provides insights translatable to other tuber crops for further enhanced sustainable food security
Academics and researchers in cassava genetic resources, cassava production, processing, trade, consumption and sustainable processing waste management strategies
