Regenerative Agriculture for Sustainable Food Systems, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book aims to present a comprehensive collection of information that combines improved soil and crop productivity, climate-based stress management, enhanced research infrastructure, financial assistance for regenerative technologies, and government subsidies and economic incentives. Considering the importance of soil biodiversity, health, and ecological balance, this book primarily focuses on effective plans and policies for soil management and restoration in agricultural soils.

The book covers key areas such as advancing communication strategies to ensure subsidies and incentives for carbon-sequestering farm practices and effectively publicizing the benefits of soil carbon, health, and regenerative practices. It also includes the declaration of rules and regulations to guide policies, programs, and investments in green technologies for soil restoration and ecosystem services, and forming a robust virtual network among farmers, land managers, and their associations to prepare action plans and seek available funding for regenerative farm practices and technologies. Additionally, it promotes research and developmental activities on carbonaceous practices and land-use decisions across various agro-ecological regions and soil types. The central theme emphasizes that maintaining the ecological balance of soil, plants, the environment, and health is crucial for a healthier life and serves as a powerful tool in combating climate change, food and nutritional insecurities, and other environmental concerns.

This book is suitable for teachers, researchers, scientists, government planners, policymakers, and students of agricultural sciences. It will also interest national and international climate change scientists, extension workers, and capacity builders.
