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.
