Omschrijving

Written by expert scientists, this collection of essays addresses the relationships between human population growth, the need to increase food supplies to feed the world population, and the chances for avoiding the extinction of a major proportion of the world's plant and animal species that collectively makes our survival on earth possible.

“When the concerns about feeding 10 billion people in 2050 are discussed, issues about population growth, food security, poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability, climate change, water pollution and depletion, threats to biodiversity, resource constraints, crop yield enhancement and pest control strategies come to mind. All these topics are discussed in fifteen chapters authored by respected authorities. This volume should serve as excellent reference for those researching issues of food and agriculture.” —Gurdev S. Khush, University of California, Davis, World Food Prize laureate, author of Cytogenetics of Aneuploids
