Improving Water and Nutrient-Use Efficiency in Food Production Systems

Improving Water and Nutrients-Use Efficiently in Food Production Systems follows a logical progression providing the reader with appropriate context of the issue and efforts being put in place to ensure agricultural sustainability. The first five chapters provide the reader with a global context for the need for efficient use of resources in food production. The following chapters look at various agronomic means, with emphasis on genetics and breeding, by which enhanced water and nutrients-use efficiently can be achieved. The final chapters in the volume cover various efforts in increasing water and nutrient-use in food production systems currently in practice in a range of countries, including China and India as the world’s two most populous.

A timely volume, Improving Water and Nutrients-Use Efficiently in Food Production Systems, fully explores avenues by which we can successfully meet the imperative need of improving water and nutrient use in food production.
