Neglected and Underutilized Crops Future Smart Food explores future food crops with climate resilience potential Sections cover their botany nutritional significance global distribution production technology and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses of neglected and underutilized crops By simply changing species in a crop rotation system the cycle of some pests and diseases is disrupted and probabilities of infestations are reduced Finally the book provides case studies that highlight where the adaptation of crops to local environments especially with regard to climate change have been successful These crops can help make agricultural production systems more resilient to climate change Although a few books on neglected and underutilized crops are available this comprehensive book covers the full scope of crop husbandry nutritional significance and global distribution

This book will cover several topics to elaborate how proteomics may enhance agricultural productivity. These include crop and food proteomics, farm animal proteomics, aquaculture, microorganisms and insect proteomics. It will also cover several technical advances, which may address the current need for comprehensive proteome analysis.An emerging field of the proteomics aim is to integrate knowledge from basic sciences and to translate it into agricultural applications to solve issues related to economic values of farm animals, crops, food security, health, and energy sustainability. Given the wealth of information generated and to some extent applied in agriculture, there is the need for more efficient and broader channels to freely disseminate the information to the scientific community.

Infinity Fish: Economics and the Future of Fish and Fisheries is a practical and science-based reference that demonstrates how to value the benefits from restored marine ecosystems to sustain ocean and fishery resources for years to come. It discusses ecological and economical aspects to support the preservation of marine resources by understanding cost-benefits of fishery management systems. The book explains the economic benefits of restoring ecosystems that have been overexploited and how to maintain fisheries in a sustainable level.Infinity Fish: Economics and the Future of Fish and Fisheries is a useful reference to a wide range of audiences. It is for those who wish to make systematic efforts to develop their fisheries sector, scientists and researchers, anyone in fisheries management, marine resource management, economists, fish farmers, policy makers, leaders and regulators, operations researchers, as well as faculty and students.

La utilización de los plásticos en la agricultura se inicia en los años sesenta, cuando se sustituyen, debido a sus elevados costes, los invernaderos de cristal y los ensilados de acero u hormigón por este material. Con el tiempo, y ante problemas planteados como falta de agua, mano de obra y la necesidad de resultar competitivos en el sector, se impulsa la utilizacion de plasticos en la agricultura, permitiendo convertir tierras aparentemente improductivas en explotaciones agricolas altamente rentables. Su consumo no ha dejado de crecer en los ultimos años. Pero una vez finalizada su vida util, tanto los plasticos usados en agricultura como los envases de productos fitosanitarios se convierten en residuos dificiles de gestionar. Es necesario desarrollar estrategias de gestion encaminadas a solucionar los problemas provocados por una incineracion y vertido incontrolado de estos residuos.

Energy in Agroecosystems: A Tool for Assessing Sustainability is the first book on energy analysis that is up-to-date and specifically dedicated to agriculture. It is written from an agroecological perspective and goes beyond the conventional analysis of the efficient use of energy. The book provide a methodological guide to assess energy efficiency and sustainability from an eco-energetic point of view. Case studies from both Europe and America, which are representative of today's most used scales of analysis (crop, farm, local or national) and the different farm management practices (traditional, industrialized, and contemporary organic), apply this methodology This book will be of primary interest to researchers, practitioners, and students working in the areas of agroecology, sustainable agriculture, environmental science, energy analysis, natural resources management, rural development and international development.
