Achieving zero hunger and food security is a top priority in the
United Nations Development Goals (UNDGs). In an era characterized
by high population growth and increasing pressure on agricultural
systems, efficiency in the use of natural resources has become
central to sustainable agricultural practices. Fundamentally
speaking, eco-efficiency is about maximizing agricultural outputs,
in terms of quantity and quality, using less land, water,
nutrients, energy, labor, or capital. The concept of eco-efficiency
involves both the ecological and economic aspects of sustainable
agriculture. It is therefore essential to understand the
interaction of ecosystem constituents within the extensive
agricultural landscape, as well as farmers' economic needs. This
book examines the latest eco-efficient practices used in
agro-systems. Drawing upon research and examples from around the
world, it offers an up-to-date overview, together with insights
into directly applicable approaches for poly-cropping systems and
landscape-scale management to improve the stability of agricultural
production systems, helping achieve food security. The book will be
of interest to educators, researchers, climate change scientists,
capacity builders and policymakers alike. It can also be used as
additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate courses
on agriculture, forestry, soil science, and the environmental
sciences.
