Sustainable agriculture and food security have become major global issues in the face of increasing world population and climate change. This book is a comprehensive compilation of current knowledge on integrated approaches and strategies of crop production for agricultural sustainability and food security. It covers a wide range of advanced topics including bioremediation, nano-technological approaches in food and agriculture, waste management, regenerative and climate-resilient agriculture, industrial intervention in agriculture, microbe augmentation for soil restoration, weed management in organic production, postharvest technology, and value addition, and revolutionizing rural agricultural industry. The book provides inclusive coverage of various holistic approaches and strategies aimed at promoting agricultural sustainability and ensuring food security. This also deliberations on sustainable farming practices, agroecology, biodiversity conservation, climate-smart agriculture, and resource management. The book aims at educating readers, whether they are policymakers, researchers, or students, about the importance of adopting holistic approaches of crop production to address the challenges facing agriculture and food security in today''s world. Due to rapidly changing agricultural landscape, complex challenges, knowledge gaps and local contexts, and education and capacity building, this book should serve as a new and complementary resource to address these emerging challenges in agriculture and food security.

Key features

– Focuses on the concepts, technologies and success stories of crop production, sustainability and food security.

– Provides an update on modern technologies in agriculture, climateresilient and regenerative agriculture

– Food security is illustrated with food and industrial microbiology and novel food technologies,

– Postharvest technologies as well as nutrition and human health are discussed

– Covers production sustainability and technological advancement in agriculture linked to achieving food security.

This book is a comprehensive compilation on the integrated approaches and strategies for sustainable crop protection and food security. It covers a wide range of topics, which includes, the significance of insect diversity in fostering sustainable agriculture, adopting a multi-omics approach to enhance insect management practices, implementing next-generation strategies for a more environment-friendly future, harnessing genomic selection and prediction methods to protect commercial crops, employing RNAi technology for targeted insect control, integrating biological control systems into the agricultural industry, assessing the impact of invasive alien insect species and devising effective strategies to mitigate them, and leveraging green chemistry methods for sustainable pest and insect management. The purpose of this volume is to provide inclusive coverage of various holistic approaches and strategies aimed at promoting agricultural sustainability and ensuring food security through crop protection. It aims to educate readers, whether they are policymakers, researchers, or students, about the importance of adopting holistic approaches of crop protection to address the challenges facing agriculture and food security in today''s world.
