• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume discusses the sustainability of Egypt's agriculture and the challenges involved. It provides a comprehensive review and the latest research findings, and covers a variety of topics under the following themes:

· Applicability of sustainable agriculture in Egypt

· Sustainable agriculture under water scarcity and polluted soil environments
· Improved crop productivity using a variety of tried and tested procedures

· Biotechnology application for agricultural sustainability and food security

· Potentiality of soil-sensing for a more sustainable agricultural environment

The volume closes with a summary of the key conclusions and recommendations from all chapters. Together with the companion volume Sustainabilityof Agricultural Environment in Egypt: Part II, it offers an essential source of information for postgraduate students, researchers, and stakeholders alike.
