Bioremediation of Emerging Contaminants from Soil using Biochar: Theory and Practices covers the pressing issue of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) in the soil ecosystem, emphasizing the threat they pose to environmental health. With a focus on pollutants like microplastic compounds, phenols, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and more, the book explores the use of biochar as a cost-effective and efficient solution for soil remediation. It highlights the importance of surface modified nanobiochar and other innovative approaches in tackling these pollutants effectively. The TOC includes sections on the occurrence and fates of contaminants in soil, agroecological consequences, recent advancements in biochar production, and more.Chapters cover topics such as biochar-assisted removal of micro/nano plastics, decontamination of personal care products, and phyto-remediation of contaminants. Future prospects and challenges in biochar-led remediation are also discussed, making it a comprehensive resource for those interested in environmental cleanup technologies. This edited book will be valuable for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and professors exploring biochar applications in bioremediation. It offers insights into high-quality biochar production and its role in remediating soil and aqueous ecosystems, particularly in addressing emerging contaminants and heavy metals.Analyzes the diverse range of biochar applications for efficient bioremediation of emerging contaminants, providing in-depth insights into soil ecosystem restoration strategiesEvaluates the effectiveness of surface modified nanobiochar and other advanced biochar techniques in mitigating the impacts of pollutants on environmental and human healthApplies innovative approaches by synthesizing knowledge from the book to develop sustainable solutions for bioremediation challenges, integrating biochar technologies with modern environmental cleanup strategies

This book addresses the technologies that can be employed to tackle the challenges of global food security. Several recent studies have reported the significant impact of changing climate on the agricultural production, thus posing a challenge in achieving global food security. Thus, to mitigate these challenges there is an urgent need to develop approaches that may be helpful for the sustainability of food production. These approaches are based on three objectives: (i) sustainably increasing agricultural productivity to support equitable increases in farm incomes, food security, and development; (ii) adapting and building the resilience of food systems to climate change; and (iii), where possible, reducing GHGs emissions from agriculture. This book provides updated information for these climate-smart agricultural technologies that hold high potential to increase productivity, improve resilience, and provide efficient resource utilization.This book is a valuable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, professors and policymakers in the field of agriculture, botany and agriculture extension functionaries.
