Ending hunger, achieving food security and promoting sustainable development are at the top of the list of United Nations (UN) sustainable global development priorities. In the times of high population growth and increasing pressure of agricultural systems, efficiency in use of natural resources has been at the epicenter of sustainable agricultural. The concept of 'Input efficiency' implies production of high quantity and quality of food, from using only finite natural resources as inputs, in the form of mainly land, water, nutrients, energy, or biological diversity. In this book, editors provide a roadmap to the food, nutritional, and environmental security in the agricultural systems. They share insight into the approaches that can be put in practice for increasing the input use efficiency in the cropping systems and achieve stability and sustainability of agricultural production systems. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, agroforestry, agroecology, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists, policymakers will also find this to be a useful read.

Hoolock Gibbons (Hoolock hoolock) are socially monogamous and endangered small apes in the Indian subcontinent that hold a very important position in the ecology of tropical forests. The populations of Gibbons have undergone declines primarily due to habitat obliteration or alteration. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of plant species richness on habitat characteristics of endangered Hoolock hoolock in Lawachara National Park. This study concluded that a key habitat feature associated with the edible plant species richness for survival of Gibbons. The rapid destruction and alteration of habitat with exotic species will undoubtedly result in the extinction of Gibbons in Lawachara National Park. So it should be desired plantation with vital fruiting and close canopy sleeping trees in the habitat of Hoolock hoolock.
