Sustainable Management of Agro-Food Waste: Fundamental Aspects and Practical Applications provides insights into the latest approaches for optimizing waste produced by these industries. Bioconversion of agro-food waste is a significant concern for maintaining the ecosystem. This book covers current research into the production of a variety of bioactive compounds, bioenergy resources, and nanomaterials using potential microbes associated widely with the industry’s waste. With primary focus on the microbial enzymes, secondary metabolites, single cell protein, bioethanol, biohydrogen, bio-fortified compost, bioelectricity, and nanomaterial’s, the book presents a range of biotechnological approaches.Sections describe the application of microbial niches in waste recycling and renewable energies like biofuel, plant enzymes, and hormones for different agriculture and allied sectors. With recent advancements in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, bioenergy, and nanomaterials and the discovery of their agriculture, environmental and biomedical applications, it is expected that these methods will be applied at a large scale for industrial application in different sectors. Policies required for the agro-food waste management and option for their utilization are also discussed, along with the sources of their generation.

Presents the foundation of agro-food waste management, including green nanotechnologyIncludes multiples management techniques and their potential benefitsExplores the proper mechanisms of synthesis for value-added materials and products for use in bioenergy and biofuel

This book focuses on various scientific methodologies and policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green land management to the sustainable development of resources. This book highlights an importance of incorporating ecosystem services in policies and describes the clearer linkages between detailed service providing units and associated ecosystem services. This book also explores the various advanced research of smart ecosystem service to overcome the challenges of environmental sustainability in the blue-green land resources management. In addition, this book presents the key issues involved in finding the balance between the competing demands, for example, for land and water. The various case studies are also included. Authors illustrate how region and cities of different climates, lifestyles, and income-levels have implemented policy innovations that promote the application of blue-green land infrastructure to sustainably manage water, agriculture, wastewater, and storm water. Such innovations have reduced environmental degradation and enhanced resilience to climate change.

This book discusses an emerging context of climate change, environmental degradation, monitoring and management, agricultural vulnerability and its development and adaptation from local to global scale.
