The current alarming rate of decline of earth's natural resources, particularly of the reserves of rock phosphate and fossil fuel, is of great concern for the future of agriculture, particularly in developing countries. Not surprisingly, sustainable crop production remains a major global challenge and has drawn increasing attention among policy makers, business, and the scientific community. The agricultural use of land for crop production leads to the continuous extraction of soil nutrients. In the absence of adequate nutrient replenishment, a subsequent decrease of soil nutrient availability may occur, exerting a negative effect on yield. This book deals with strategies to overcome low nutrient availability in soils mainly rely on the use of fertilizers and crop breeding.

This book gives readers a fundamental understanding of the topic of using biochar to mitigate environmental disturbance, water scarcity, soil degradation, and food security in a sustainable way, as well as an overview of new researchable concerns in the field.

The book “Sustainable Green Technologies: Bioremediation of environmental pollution” holds great significance in its fields, as it includes both the most recent research on advanced features of green technology for pollution management associated with bioremediation as well as current knowledge of basic concepts. There is a great need for the application of a thorough essay about bioremediation that covers current, pertinent, and innovative green technologies in a practical field to address the serious environmental issues. This issue focuses in particular on the newly created environmentally friendly novel green technology that uses potential biological agents like plants and microbes to detoxify and decontaminate the pollutants in various environmental domains.The book covered a number of topics, comprising advanced molecular and biochemical methods of pollutant detoxification, diverse phytoremediation techniques, microbial remediation, bioleaching, innovative remediation technologies of different hazardous pollutants, genomics, and proteomics in green bioremediation, and a contemporary applied concept of the green bioremediation process. Therefore, this book will be very helpful to scientists, researchers, professionals, teachers, students, and those working in the environmental issues, bioremediation, environmental management and engineering, environmental biotechnology and microbiology, biochemistry, and life sciences.

Biosensors are a useful tool to monitor pollutants in the environment. Numerous biosensors are currently used as affordable, real-time, in-situ analytical tools for a healthy environment. This book aims to give readers a comprehensive overview of concepts and applications of biosensors for environmental monitoring. The book offers descriptions different types of biosensors and use cases, with particular emphasis on how biosensors can be used ins service of the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The book is targeted toward students, researchers, professionals, and anyone else with an interest in biosensors and how they can support sustainability.
