This book looks at significant current grassland problems and
issues, and provides an insight into grassland productivity in
diverse areas of the world, with their various production systems.
There is a focus on recent technical advances and the prospects for
further innovation, through twenty-one chapters by eminent
grassland scientists, grouped into seven sections - forage
germplasm; forage conservation; grass-based systems and organic
production; climate change, biodiversity and biotechnology;
geographical information systems; farmer and pastoralist
participation; and regional developments. The book is timely in
view of the expanding human and livestock populations, especially
in arid and semi-arid environments, with the consequent pressure on
the world's grasslands. Researchers, lecturers and students in
grassland science and its associated disciplines will find the
texts and references a valuable resource in their work. Land use
advisers and policy-makers should find stimulus for new ideas in
the debate on the future role of grasslands in feeding the Earth's
population.
