Front Cover; Sustainable Food and Agriculture; Copyright Page; Contents; List of Contributors; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgments; Acronyms; I. Food and Agriculture at a Crossroads; Lead Authors; 1 Food and Agricultural Systems at a Crossroads: An Overview; 1.1 The State of Global Food and Agriculture; 1.2 Food and Agriculture at a Crossroads: Challenges and Opportunities; Global Trends and Challenges to Food and Agriculture Into the 21st Century; The Demographics of Rural Poverty and Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Transformations

Sustainable Food and Agriculture: An Integrated Approach is the first book to look at the imminent threats to sustainable food security through a cross-sectoral lens. As the world faces food supply challenges posed by the declining growth rate of agricultural productivity, accelerated deterioration of quantity and quality of natural resources that underpin agricultural production, climate change, and hunger, poverty and malnutrition, a multi-faced understanding is key to identifying practical solutions. This book gives stakeholders a common vision, concept and methods that are based on proven and widely agreed strategies for continuous improvement in sustainability at different scales. While information on policies and technologies that would enhance productivity and sustainability of individual agricultural sectors is available to some extent, literature is practically devoid of information and experiences for countries and communities considering a comprehensive approach (cross-sectoral policies, strategies and technologies) to SFA. This book is the first effort to fill this gap, providing information on proven options for enhancing productivity, profitability, equity and environmental sustainability of individual sectors and, in addition, how to identify opportunities and actions for exploiting cross-sectoral synergies.
