Описание:
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
As climate change becomes a growing reality, more industries must grapple with how to implement sustainable business practices at every step of the production process. This is especially true for viticulture, where every step of production can take years to come to fruition, and any decision made must take into account the future.
This valuable volume serves as an introduction to some of the important concerns that viticulturists must address to keep this industry moving in the right direction, including the best sustainable practices in the wine industry, how to assess sustainability programs, how to consider viticulture in the broader context of sustainable agriculture and industry, and the role of the consumer.
Edited by a researcher from Cornell University, this easily accessible volume offers a glimpse into the future of the winemaking industry and points to future steps in both research and business practices.

Описание:
Soil contamination represents a serious environmental problem and requires an immediate action plan to be prepared for typical and emergent contaminants. This book provides an overview of some remediation technologies, both traditional and emergent, as well as case studies based on the contribution from academia and service providers. Several soil and groundwater remediation technologies such as electrokinetic remediation, biological treatments (including phytoremediation), and chemical remediation are presented. Innovative technologies such as nanoremediation and the application of life cycle assessment as a decision tool for soil remediation technologies are also considered in this book. This book serves as a reference source for soil remediation as it includes applications, technologies, and valuable tools that can help in decision making during remediation actions. It can be used by students, researchers, service providers, and industry practitioners.

Описание: In May 1967, internationally renowned activist Fannie Lou Hamer purchased forty acres of land in the Mississippi Delta, launching the Freedom Farms Cooperative (FFC). A community-based rural and economic development project, FFC would grow to over 600 acres, offering a means for local sharecroppers, tenant farmers, and domestic workers to pursue community wellness, self-reliance, and political resistance. Life on the cooperative farm presented an alternative to the second wave of northern migration by African Americans--an opportunity to stay in the South, live off the land, and create a healthy community based upon building an alternative food system as a cooperative and collective effort.
Freedom Farmers expands the historical narrative of the black freedom struggle to embrace the work, roles, and contributions of southern black farmers and the organizations they formed. Whereas existing scholarship generally views agriculture as a site of oppression and exploitation of black people, this book reveals agriculture as a site of resistance and provides a historical foundation that adds meaning and context to current conversations around the resurgence of food justice/sovereignty movements in urban spaces like Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York City, and New Orleans.

Описание: In a straightforward, friendly style, Iowa`s premier scientists and experts consider what has happened to Iowa`s land and outline viable solutions that benefit agriculture as well as the state`s human and wild residents.
Описание: This book will highlight advanced techniques that were recently used for studying microorganisms in extreme environments. Recent technological leaps in the study of microorganisms in the environment now make it possible to comprehensively study microbes in the environment. Extreme environments could benefit from the application of these techniques, but many challenges such as low biomass, low activity and slow growth has prevented their wide adoption. This book will review recent application of state-of-the-art techniques in extreme environments, helping researcher and graduate students get a better knowledge of the tools available.

Описание: This book equips students, early career researchers and those new to soil ecology with an introduction to the soil fauna, their contributions to ecosystem function, and the mechanisms that structure soil fauna assemblages. More experienced soil ecologists can use the book as an essential compendium on soil fauna ecology.
Описание: This technical document provides a conceptual framework and standard methodologies for the monitoring, reporting and verification of changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions/removals from agricultural projects that adopt sustainable soil management practices at farm level. It applies to different agricultural lands, including annual and perennial crops (e.g. food, fibre, forage and bioenergy crops), paddy rice, grazing lands with livestock including pastures, grasslands, rangelands, shrublands, silvopasture and agroforestry.
Soils have become one of the world’s most vulnerable resources in the face of climate change, land degradation, biodiversity loss and increased demand for food production. It is widely recognized that maintaining and increasing SOC stocks is not only crucial for reducing GHG emissions and removing CO2 from the atmosphere, but also for harnessing the benefits of increased SOC (and soil organic matter) for soil health and fertility by improving water storage and thereby increasing the access of plants to water, food production potential and resilience to drought.
The Global Soil Organic Carbon– Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (GSOC-MRV) protocol has been developed through an inclusive and active process involving experts and institutions from all regions of the world. This protocol does not constitute a mandatory document for FAO members or institutions, but is rather a guiding, non-binding technical document. As a living document, its continuous improvement and refinement is expected after its use and implementation in the field.
