Innovations for Sustainable Agriculture : From Lab to Farm to Table

Mixed crop-livestock systems offer promising strategies for sustainable farming. Innovations for Sustainable Agriculture: From Lab to Farm to Table details solutions for mitigating agricultural waste, such as carbon emissions and chemical runoff, and creating a circular economy on mixed farms. In addition to covering potential solutions, the book will analyze the effectiveness of each strategy in protecting the environment from harm. Notable topics covered include manure management, agricultural waste valorization, wastewater and resource recovery, and even dairy cow feed for lowering methane production. While the book is based primarily on the climates and farming systems of Europe, the climactic diversity of the continent will make this a useful resource for many other parts of the world with similar climates, including North America and portions of South America, Asia, and Oceana. Innovations for Sustainable Agriculture: From Lab to Farm to Table offers practical strategies and solutions to readers and will benefit audience members ranging from students and researchers to farmers and agricultural stakeholders.
