Agriculture, Livestock Production and Aquaculture

This two-volume set, Agriculture, Livestock Production and Aquaculture, explores sustainable agricultural innovations for smallholder systems affected by climate change.

This two-volume set provides an in-depth exploration of recent approaches and technological innovations aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture within smallholder farming systems adversely affected by climate change. The focus extends to various agricultural systems, including crop-based production, aquaculture, and livestock farming, all of which utilize similar techniques to address food security challenges exacerbated by climate change and resource depletion. Key innovations discussed encompass crop diversification, soil resilience management, geoinformatics, and land suitability monitoring for smart farming, as well as advancements in information technology for livestock production and nutrient resource management in aquaculture.

The chapters are designed to equip researchers, practitioners, and industry stakeholders with practical knowledge that can be applied to foster socially and economically sustainable practices. These practices aim to enhance food security in impoverished regions that are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Readers will also gain insights into the rapid advancements in information technology that are increasingly accessible to smallholder farmers, thereby enabling them to implement effective solutions in their agricultural endeavors.

Volume 1 specifically concentrates on current innovations in agricultural and livestock practices that respond to the challenges posed by climate change. It delves into the technological hurdles, strategies, and mitigation approaches faced by both scholars and practitioners engaged in livestock and agricultural production systems impacted by environmental changes. This comprehensive overview serves as a valuable resource for those looking to understand and navigate the complexities of sustainable farming in a changing world.
