"Agriculture is the practice of cultivating plants and livestock. Various foods, fuels, fibers and raw materials are cultivated. Modern agriculture relies on intensive farming practices. Conventional agricultural practices can have a negative impact on the environment. This has led to an increased emphasis on regenerative, organic and sustainable agriculture. Alternative technologies of agriculture comprising of selective breeding, integrated pest management and controlled-environment agriculture are being actively researched and studied. Sustained agricultural productivity is vital to food security. There are numerous risk factors which can affect food security such as droughts, fuel shortages, economic instability, etc. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of agricultural science. The topics covered herein deal with the core aspects of agriculture. It is a vital tool for all researching or studying this field as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts."--Back cover.
