Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at
producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their
children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses
current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel
prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water
pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and
biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions
are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse
as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry,
toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed,
sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur
from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level
at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that,
scientists use the system approach that involves studying
components and interactions of a whole system to address
scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect,
sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead
of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that
treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats
problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now
intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture
will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series
gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues
and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will
therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers
and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and
food system for future generations.
