Publisher's Synopsis
Today, there is a wide new frontier for science and innovation in agriculture. There are many ways to grow food and fiber, and so much to learn about the science of growing crops. Modern farming is full of opportunities for agricultural partnerships with scientists in fields that range from biology to robotics. Biology enables us to understand the various concepts in our life on a daily basis. Breathing, sleeping, walking, morning jog they all revolve around this concept. Through learning we get to identify and relate to different concepts, systems and processes in our bodies. The most important trend in biological science is the dynamic range of scales at which biotechnology is now able to integrate with biological processes. This 1st volume of Encyclopaedia of Megatrends in Food and Agriculture: Technology, Water Use and Nutrition brings together innovative research and reviews relating to general biology and agriculture. It covers key areas in agricultural science, namely crop improvement, production, response to water, nutrients, and temperature, crop protection, agriculture and human health, and animal nutrition. It explores the science of life, from biomolecules to ecosystems. Innovative research and reviews are focused on biology, ecology, and evolution and systematics as well as intended to provide an updated overview of the recent developments in biological engineering from diverse aspects and various applications in clinical and experimental research. This book serves as a valuable guide to the existing knowledge and is especially intended for advanced graduate students and all professionals in the field of agriculture and biology.
