Full Description
This book provides a broad overview of both the global Sustainability of water and food and climate that will have huge impacts on water and food availability. Solutions to the food, clean water for a current world population of 7 billion are one of the greatest challenges that require technology innovation and changes in public policy. As the universities has seen a considerable increase in interdisciplinary environmental courses, this research-oriented reference book could be a practical guide for scholars interested to gain their knowledge in the area of Environmental Sustainability without a strong background in both fields. Considering the fact that the population growth increasing the demand on water and food. This new volume is also a valuable guide for professionals with strong interests in interdisciplinary research involving environmental science, environmental management and sustainability science.
This research-oriented volume highlights include:
⇒ Introductory chapters for conceptual framework on how to better understand the global sustainability of water and food.
⇒ Case studies to illustrate interconnections among water and food sectors
⇒ Introduction to engineering solutions that include both "soft path" and technology innovation methods.
⇒ Case studies for management of water, agricultural growth and food security using empirical analyses and technological interventions.
⇒ Case studies to minimize water and food pressures and achieve green growth.
⇒ The book highlights fundamentals of synergy framework on water, food and the future of sustainability. It illustrates practical concepts for higher-level undergraduate and graduate level students.
⇒ Securing water, energy and food is a complex challenge and different regions have different stress points. There will never be a one-size-fits-all solution. However, by working together across sectors and geographies, we can help minimise conflicts and competition while striving to meet the world's changing needs.
