According to the United Nations, 77 million people are expected to
face water shortage by 2025, if people continue to use water at the
current rate. More water than available would be needed to grow the
world's food during the next decade. As a result of scarcity of
water, global annual food production losses could reach 350 million
tons by 2025. Divided into six main sections, this volume outlines
strategies to conserve soil and water resources to help ensure both
water and food security: - Challenges to ensure water and
agricultural sustainability - Sustainable strategies for managing
water and soil resources and groundwater recharge technologies -
Soil-quality issues - Water-quality issues, with special reference
to groundwater pollution with arsenic - Management in different
agroclimatic environments, with particular reference to rainfed
agriculture - Biotechnological applications for drought-tolerant
crop varieties with improved water use efficiency, water
conservation strategies, and sustainable agronomic alternatives.
This guide on agricultural sustainability is intended for
scientists and advanced students in agronomy, soil science,
agricultural engineering, agricultural economics, plant breeding,
plant genetics, plant biotechnology, water resources, hydrology,
geography, and other agriculture-related fields.
