Book Description
Agriculture the world over is under increasing pressure both to be sustainably run -- to be able to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs -- and to provide food, energy and industrial resources to satisfy the growing demands of a rising world population.
Reconciling these two sometimes conflicting pressures is the vital theme tackled at this important conference.
Topics include:
* assessments of sustainability
* energizing the food production chain to promote food security
* sustainable land-use systems
* research at Biosphere 2
* primary production of biomass
* climate and agro-ecosystems
* biodiversity, plant breeding, genetic engineering and biotechnology
* biological, ecological and organic farming
* resource management of soils, water, nutrients and waste
* remediation of contaminated and degraded lands
* management of marginal lands and fragile environments
* cultural, social and economic dimensions
Over 400 papers and posters from many different parts of the world were presented at the meeting -- from these, over 230 have been selected for publication, making these Proceedings volumes essential reference work for anybody working in the field.
The Chairman of the International Conference Committee is Dr N. El Bassam, Head of the Energy Crops Research Unit of the Federal Agriculture Research Centre (FAL), Braunschweig, Germany. The conference was jointly organized by FAL, together with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, Rome, Italy and the Society of Sustainable Agriculture and Resource Management, Hisar, India.
