Innovation in Small-Farm Agriculture: Improving Livelihoods and
Sustainability is an invaluable resource focussing on the current
state of knowledge and scientific advances about the complex and
intertwined issues of innovation and how they relate to livelihood
of small-scale farmers. This book exposes readers with a holistic
overview on how agriculture is most associated with the development
and transfer of technologies to farmers and their participation in
research and development initiatives to improve the relevancy and
usefulness of its outputs and innovation which is not well
documented. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most
essential topics, including: Recent scientific advances on
agricultural innovations for small farmers. Emphasizes on
opportunities and constraints of techno-institutional paradigms.
Highlight low-cost and eco-friendly interventions. Case studies on
various innovations in agriculture spanning the different
agricultural gamut.
Cellulase is a key enzyme of industrial interest and plays a
crucial role in the hydrolysis of cellulose, a prime component of
plant cell walls. Cellulase covers a broad area in the global
market of industrially important enzymes and it is considered as
the third largest industrial enzyme globally. Additionally,
cellulase contributes about 20% of the total enzyme market globally
because of its massive demand in various industries such as in
biofuel production, pulp, paper, textile, food, and beverages, as
well as in detergent industries. Among these, the demand of
cellulase may become frequently selected in the commercial
production of biofuels in the future and thus will further increase
demand of cellulase in the biofuel industry. Because biofuel
production is still not realized in a cost-effective, practical
implementation due to its high cost (the higher cost of biofuels is
due to higher production costs of enzymes), there is a need to
introduce these types of approaches, which will help to lower the
cost of enzyme production for developing overall economic biofuel
production.
This volume discusses contemporary techniques, technologies, and
solutions for industrial wastewater remediation and treatment. It
covers biological, chemical, and physical aspects of wastewater
treatment, with a background on the generation of wastewater
associated with different industries, as well as a comparison of
traditional treatment technologies with new advancements. The
authors also describe the reuse and recovery of nutrients and
precious metals from wastewater, and how such sustainable
strategies can be incorporated into industrial wastewater planning
and legislation. The book also contains practical and theoretical
aspects of various industries and their wastewater management
practices in a changing climate, with an emphasis on recent
research examining the environmental impact of wastewater. The work
will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers studying
wastewater pollution and remediation, wastewater management-based
NGOs, and people involved in the planning and legislation of
industrial operations.
