Sustainable Agriculture: Principles of Plant-Microbe-Insect Interactions


Overview

Sustainable agriculture involves cultivating crops and raising livestock in ways that minimize environmental impact and conserves natural resources, along with integrating principles that are aimed at improving soil health. By prioritizing soil health, water conservation, and ecological balance, sustainable agriculture not only ensures long-term food security but also supports rural livelihoods and mitigates climate change. It relies on harmonizing plant-microbe-insect interactions, nurturing a delicate balance within ecosystems. Plant-microbe interactions, such as symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria or mycorrhizal fungi, improve nutrient uptake and disease resistance. Similarly, beneficial insects, like pollinators and natural predators, aid in pest control and ecosystem stability. Implementing sustainable agricultural practices involves utilising these interactions through methods such as crop rotation, intercropping, and biological pest management. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into the field of sustainable agriculture and plant-microbe-insect interactions. Further, it includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world on plant-microbe-insect interactions. Those in search of information to further improve their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
