Integration of Legume Intercropping into Sustainable Farming Systems for Nitrogen Fixation, Soil Health, and Climate Resilience
Sustainable use of soils is among the global challenges of the twenty-first century. The global population is projected to increase to 8.6 billion by 2030 and 9.6 billion by 2050, exacerbating the biotic and abiotic impacts of climate change on global food production. This rapid population growth, coupled with food and nutritional insecurity, land degradation, declining soil fertility, and stagnant crop productivity, poses significant threats to sustainable agriculture. Current research highlights the potential of legume intercropping to address these challenges due to its multifaceted benefits, including biological nitrogen fixation, enhanced soil microbial activity, and improved soil health. However, there is a need for more comprehensive studies to fully understand and optimize the integration of legumes into diverse cropping systems to maximize these benefits.
Sustainable Food Gardens
"A tome that holds the secrets to science-based organic and sustainable food crops. It joins a handful of essential books on the topic, and delves deeper and in more granular detail into the process of gardening with nature than any other book I know of." — Jeff Cox, author of From Vines to Wines and The Organic Cook’s Bible, and contributing editor of Horticulture magazine Dismantle your gardening myths. Grow a garden grounded in fact. Edible landscaping pioneer Robert Kourik deftly guides the reader through the mysteries of growing plants and designing landscapes in temperate climates and suburbs, and the use of all-natural, sustainable methods to grow and maintain a healthy variety of...
Climate Impacts on Agricultural and Natural Resource Sustainability in Africa
This book discusses knowledge-based sustainable agro-ecological and natural resource management systems and best practices for sustained agricultural productivity and ecosystem resilience for better livelihoods under a changing climate. With a focus on agriculture in Africa, the book assesses innovative technologies for use on smallholder farms, and addresses some of the key Sustainable Development Goals to guide innovative responses and enhanced adaptation methods for coping with climate change. Contributions are based on 'Capacity Building for Managing Climate Change in Malawi' (CABMACC), a five-year program with an overall goal to improve livelihoods and food security through innovative responses and enhanced capacity of adaptation to climate change. Readers will discover more about sustainable crop production, climate smart agriculture, on-farm energy supply from biogas and the potential of soil carbon sequestration in crop-livestock systems.
