Organic Micropollutants in Aquatic and Terrestrial Environments
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the origins, occurrences, and remediation strategies for organic micropollutants in the environment. Divided into five parts, the book starts with a perspective on the sources and prevalence of organic micropollutants in our world, including aquatic ecosystems and urban soils, followed by an examination of the effects of these contaminants on health, agriculture, and the environment. In the third and fourth parts of the book, readers will learn more about the analysis and detection of organic micropollutants, and treatment and remediation strategies, respectively. The book closes with an overview of policies and regulatory measures, and critiques ...
Emerging Trends and Techniques in Biofuel Production from Agricultural Waste
This edited book focuses primarily on biofuel production potential in agricultural waste, such as biogas generation, biohydrogen production, and research trends on managing or converting agricultural waste to biofuel. This book also draws attention to technological equipment, generated biofuels from agricultural waste through various biological and chemical processes, and the multiple factors responsible for biofuels from agricultural waste generation. Agriculture waste can be a renewable source of lignocellulosic feedstock for value-added products. Considering the non-replaceable fossil fuel reservoir, the exponentially growing human population urges an immediate search for alternative rene...
Adaptive Agro-Management for Environmental Sustainability
This book documents information on adaptive agro-management approaches ensuring environmental sustainability. It covers recent sustainable agro-techniques of farming used in developed, developing and under-developed countries such as carbon neutral farming, organic agriculture, use of slow-release fertilizers, nano-agriculture, crop residue management, biochar, vermicompost, agroforestry, climate-smart agriculture, advanced water used technologies, microbial fertilizers, and ecological farming. Features: Provides detailed contextual information on sustainable agriculture. Discusses adaptation of major agricultural crops against recent global climate change scenario. Reviews scientific advances in nano-agrotechnology. Covers various alternatives of synthetic fertilizers, their mode of action, and their efficiency and preparation methodology. Includes pertinent case studies. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental science, agriculture engineering and ecological engineering, and sustainable agriculture.
Nanobiosensors for Agricultural and Other Related Sectors
This book explores the transformative role of nanotechnology in modern farming. With a focus on nanosensors and nanobiosensors, this book highlights their growing applications in agriculture to monitor critical environmental and agricultural factors. Nanosensors, utilizing advanced materials like carbon nanotubes and quantum dots, offer solutions for detecting pollutants, measuring gas concentrations, and monitoring water quality, helping farmers make informed decisions. Nanobiosensors, on the other hand, combine biological elements with nanotechnology to detect pesticides, pathogens, soil contaminants, and more, enabling precise, real-time data collection at the molecular level. The integra...
Augmenting Crop Productivity in Stress Environment
The book inculcates a holistic approach to improve crop productivity and quality for ensuring food security and nutrition to all. This warrants to identify various stress conditions prevalent globally and tailor crop adaptability and productivity to the maximum accordingly, employing physio-molecular modern tools and techniques with judicious amalgamation with conventional crop husbandry. As a result, the book chapters encompass diverse environmental factors, internal physio-molecular processes and their modulations with a final goal of expanding area under cultivation by utilization of constraint terrains of poor site quality and augmenting sustainable crop productivity and quality on the f...
Emerging Geosustainability Transformations in India
This book presents the emerging sustainability concerns for India to achieve holistic development. India is densely populated with scattered natural resources and is engaged in developing technology and its infrastructure. However, India’s sustainability is questioned from the viewpoints of environment, society, economy and politics. As the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to achieve a sustainable world by 2030, India has to relook at its current development approaches and make effective policy measures. Geography is an interdisciplinary branch of social science that focuses on the interrelationships among population, natural resources, social linkages, governments and public poli...
Enhanced Crop Production Setup Under Various Micro and Nano Contaminants
This book explores the uptake, toxicity, and tolerance of various contaminants in crop plants and discusses genetic and molecular methods, as well as biological tools, to improve plant growth under contamination stress. The book also covers defense mechanisms in plants using phytohormones and nanomaterials, along with safety concerns related to micro and nano-contaminants. Contaminants in soil-crop plant systems pose a significant challenge to sustainable agriculture, environmental health, and food security. These pollutants, such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, salts, nanomaterials, and toxic metals like cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic, can enter the food chain through contamin...
Women Workers in Urban India
This volume examines the role of women workers who are joining the workforce in urban India. Employment opportunities have opened up and are constantly expanding for women, but this book interrogates whether their working status is breaking gender stereotypes or reaffirming them. It argues that whether women are working in offices or from home, contributing to the IT sector or labouring as petty producers, they are unable to break out of the gendered codes that place them at the lower rungs of the occupational ladder. More importantly, the hierarchical social order, comprising caste, class and ethnic identities, seems to echo in the gendered structure of the labour market as well. This volume studies the intertwining of work with embedded patriarchal notions of women's places in designated spheres, and the overt and covert processes of resistance that women offer in defining new roles and old ones anew.
