This volume examines the interrelated fields of food security,
energy security and sustainable agriculture as the key to a stable
global agricultural platform and is arranged in six parts. The
first part is focused on policy considerations relating to food and
energy security and sustainable agriculture. The authors from this
part include Former Under Secretary of Agriculture Gale Buchanan,
Former Under Secretary of Energy Raymond Orbach (Chapter 1),
Stephen Hughes, Bryan Moser and William Gibbons (Chapter 2) and
Thomas Redick (Chapter 3). Part II addresses soil and water, which
are two of the key components in secure and sustainable food
production. Authors from this part are Jerry Hatfield (Chapter 4)
and Mahbub Alam, Sharon Megdal et al. (Chapter 5). The third part
covers sustainable and secure food production specifically
addressing genetically modified traits in Chapter 6 (James

al.). Agronomic implications relative to food security and
sustainable agriculture are described in Part IV. Authors include
Ravi Sripada, Pradip Das et al. (Chapter 8), Duska Stojsin, Kevin

of chemicals in sustainable agriculture and food/energy security
with Leonard Gianessi and Ashley Williams communicating the role of
herbicides and Harold Reetz emphasizing the importance of
fertilizers both in maximizing crop yields to maintain a
sustainable secure source for food production.
