Vertical Farming: The Future of Agriculture covers innovative techniques like hydroponics and automation to lay out the fundamentals of vertical farming, marking a shift away from traditional farming methods. The book instructs on how vertical farming practices can meet the demands of an ever-growing urban population while mitigating climate change on agriculture. Sections provide actionable, real-world strategies and insights to highlight the advantages of this innovative form of farming within populated urban areas experiencing food insecurity. Essential topics such as space optimization, reduced resource usage, consistent crop yield, and energy efficiency are covered in-depth.The first few chapters introduce the foundational concepts and historical context of vertical farming. Following this, the book describes the technical equipment used in vertical farming systems and various hydroponic methods. Lastly, it covers practical applications, including crop selection, nursery raising, planting, care, management, and marketing. This book is an essential resource for upper-level undergraduate students in agriculture, environmental science, urban planning, and related disciplines.Provides an overview of vertical farming, including its definition, history, and current global scenariosOffers valuable information on innovative farming techniques, including various hydroponic systemsFills a gap with actionable strategies for sustainable agricultural practices and food security in urban environmentsFeatures high-quality images, case studies, and datasets to enhance understanding and practical applications

With the agricultural sector facing mounting pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, greater emphasis has been placed on improving existing components and practices, such as soil health and biodiversity, which have since emerged as key components to achieving regenerative agriculture. Sensors provide the opportunity to measure crop and soil health at unparalleled scales and resolution. Key developments in sensor technology will help improve our current understanding and optimisation of the complex agricultural systems that make up our global ecosystem. Advances in sensor technology for sustainable crop production provides a comprehensive review of the wealth of research on key developments in sensor technology to improve monitoring and management of crop health, soil health, weeds and diseases. This collection also reviews advances in proximal and remote sensing techniques to monitor soil health, such as spectroscopy and radiometrics, as well as how sensor technology can be optimised for more targeted irrigation, site-specific nutrient and weed management.

This book is exclusively structured around chromatography techniques and is unique in the market for catering to these needs. It provides a complete description of experimental methodologies in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), ion chromatography (IC), and paper chromatography. Numericals are provided along with solutions at the end of chapters. A complete theoretical description, along with all necessary equations, is included in this book. Techniques such as paper chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, liquid-liquid partition chromatography, adsorption chromatography, and column chromatography are discussed in a lucid manner, and their practical utilities are properly addressed. Instrumentation related to HPLC, GC, and ion chromatography is discussed with diagrams in a comprehensible fashion. Column chemistry in relation to the mobile phase is specially mentioned so that students and lab technicians engaged in laboratory workflows can benefit. Special reference to pesticide residue is made for each chromatographic technique, which will benefit food testing laboratories. Method optimization for both HPLC and GC is detailed, providing a ready reference for method development. Method validation for both HPLC and GC, with Excel spreadsheets, has been properly incorporated so that students, lab technicians, and experts from the food industry and pharmaceuticals can refer to this book for a conceptual framework.The ultimate goal of this book is to assist learners, including students, food analysts, and pharmaceutical technicians, in understanding method development, method validation, and troubleshooting with practical examples and proper experimental layouts. The content and treatment of the subject matter are considered most appropriate for university students studying chromatography who wish to learn how to use data for various parameters such as linearity, repeatability, limit of quantitation (LOQ), and limit of detection (LOD). True data are illustrated in Excel spreadsheets, and solutions are provided in a stepwise manner to ensure that all stakeholders can properly grasp the concepts. Concepts such as theoretical plates, plate height, resolution, selectivity, and the Van Deemter equation are demonstrated with practical data, and solutions are addressed in a simplistic manner. The ICH (International Consortium for Harmonization), SANTE guidelines, and other regulatory compliances have been intentionally incorporated to facilitate the NABL accreditation of laboratories across the country. Measures of Uncertainty (MoU) are given full attention and exemplified in Excel datasheets so that all PG students and other personnel can become acquainted with the methodology used in elucidating the MoU.
