Considers important research topics in sustainability and natural resource conservation. Discusses agroforestry for biodiversity conservation and nutritional security, how sustainability can improve lives of locals etc. Covers topics like carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems, approaches to repairing soil through halophytes etc.
The concept of natural resource sustainability has taken on new importance in today?s world, and community participation in the conservation of forest resources is essential for generating innovative sustainability solutions. This new book looks at some of the important issues in sustainability and natural resource conservation, including pollution, agroforestry, forest fire detection and monitoring, sericulture-based agroforestry, soil quality preservation and restoration, and remote sensing and machine learning for improved agriculture.
?Compiles all the important and necessary contents for sustainable development and conservation of forest and agricultural land resources. This book highlights the importance of agricultural landscape management through agroforestry for biodiversity conservation and nutritional security, as well as features of climate-resilient farming methods for improved livelihoods . . . This [book] with updated and latest information will be of great assistance to the targeted readers, particularly students, scholars, academicians, and policymakers.
