Principles and Methods of Plant Breeding
No detailed description available for "Principles and Methods of Plant Breeding".
Ecological Connectivity of Forest Ecosystems
This is an open access book. This professional volume provides scientific background and practical guidance on forest management in light of ecological connectivity. Readers will gain a great understanding of shifting species in response to climate change and the resulting loss of various resources. The main drivers of these variations are the quality of the availability, quantity, and quality of habitats in the landscape, the genetic diversity of species populations, and the ability to navigate through a fragmented landscape matrix. The connectivity of habitats is gaining importance in the combat of both, the biodiversity crisis and the climate change crisis. Improving ecological connectivity, however, does not automatically benefit all species, as the examples described in the book demonstrate. Specific planning tools, active monitoring protocols, and management measures are needed to increase the benefit for species with low dispersal and small population size, which generally fail to migrate. Assisted migration can help to prevent species extinction, but also offer opportunities for pathogens to cross geographical barriers. The vast majority of the known diversity of plants, fungi, vertebrates, and invertebrates depends on forest ecosystems. This volume helps to spread this message and prepare students for their later careers in the forestry sector, while also informing active practitioners and policy makers.

Agricultural Supply Chains in Nigeria
Nigeria's agricultural sector holds immense potential to drive economic growth, ensure food security, and lift millions out of poverty. Yet this potential remains largely untapped due to systemic inefficiencies in agricultural supply chains that connect farmers to markets. This book provides a comprehensive examination of these critical linkages that determine whether harvests reach consumers efficiently or perish along the way.The narrative begins by painting a vivid picture of Nigeria's current agricultural landscape, where smallholder farmers struggle with inadequate storage facilities, poor rural infrastructure, and limited access to formal markets. It details how these challenges contribute to the alarming paradox of food scarcity amidst agricultural abundance, where nearly half of perishable produce never reaches consumers due to post-harvest losses.Moving beyond problem identification, the work delves into transformative solutions that are reshaping agricultural logistics. It explores how digital technologies are creating new opportunities for farmers to access market information and financial services, while innovative cold chain solutions are extending the shelf life of perishable goods. The discussion extends to the crucial role of policy frameworks in enabling private sector investment and fostering public-private partnerships that can upgrade critical infrastructure.What sets this book apart is its grounded approach, drawing on real-world examples from across Nigeria's diverse agricultural regions. It reveals how some communities are successfully overcoming traditional bottlenecks through cooperative models, value-added processing, and direct market linkages. The analysis pays particular attention to the inclusion of women and youth in agricultural value chains, recognizing their vital yet often overlooked contributions.The concluding chapters present an integrated vision for the future, where efficient supply chains become catalysts for rural development, job creation, and sustainable food systems. This vision balances technological innovation with practical interventions tailored to Nigeria's unique context, from improved rural feeder roads to climate-smart storage solutions.Written in clear, accessible language, this book speaks to multiple audiences - policymakers seeking evidence-based solutions, development practitioners designing intervention programs, agribusiness entrepreneurs identifying opportunities, and academics studying agricultural economics. It combines rigorous research with practical insights, making complex concepts understandable without oversimplifying the challenges.Ultimately, this work serves as both a diagnostic tool and a roadmap for transformation. It challenges readers to rethink conventional approaches to agricultural development while providing concrete examples of what works in the Nigerian context. For anyone committed to strengthening the connection between Nigeria's farms and markets, this book offers invaluable perspectives on turning agricultural potential into tangible prosperity.
Future Agriculture-”Viksit Bharat”
Indian agriculture has achieved remarkable progress over the decades. Since gaining independence, the sector has witnessed significant advancements in food grain production-driven not just by the expansion of cultivated areas but also by the adoption of innovative technologies. Food grain output has increased from 50.82 million tonnes in 1950-51 to an impressive 328.85 million tonnes in 2023-24. This substantial growth has been largely fueled by increased use of inputs, technology-driven productivity improvements, widespread extension services, better farming practices, and, most importantly, the resilience and dedication of Indian farmers, particularly since the onset of the Green Revolution in the late 1960s.Despite this progress, Indian agriculture continues to face multiple challenges. The rapid expansion has led to issues such as the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources like land, water, and biodiversity; increased vulnerability to pests and insects; overuse of agrochemicals; and adverse environmental impacts.To ensure sustainable agricultural development, there is a pressing need to establish a supportive ecosystem through sound policies, institutional reforms, regulatory frameworks, and investments in advanced technologies. Public and private sector collaboration in agri-business will be crucial.This book aims to explore the current agricultural landscape and outline strategic approaches for the Amrit Kaal, aligning with the vision of Viksit Bharat and Atma Nirbhar Bharat by 2047, with a special focus on agriculture and allied sectors.

Organic Fertilizers - Their Role in Sustainable Agriculture
Scientific developments in agriculture and technologies of chemical fertilizers and pesticides fed the "green revolution" of the mid-20th century. Still, a few decades later, pollution and toxins from those chemicals became evident. Now, climate change, partially caused by agricultural technologies, has also moved to the centre of our preoccupations. These environmental problems, as well as economic and social inequities, incentivize the search for more sustainable agricultural technologies that can be brought about by deeper scientific insight. Replacing chemical fertilizers with less harmful products, which we can refer to as organic fertilizers, while still maintaining crop production capable of feeding the global population, is an objective for farmers, policymakers, and, in fact, for everyone. In today's world, science and technology move forward rapidly, pervading every aspect of social and individual lives; keeping in touch with them is necessary for each of us in our field of work. This book aims to help us replace chemical fertilizers with organic ones. In the following chapters, the reader can find reviews of recent developments and reports of experimental works on organic fertilizers that might help better understand their advantages and drawbacks.
