Several initiatives of US producers have defined agricultural sustainability based upon impacts on the supply network, from extraction to disposal - also called outcomes metrics. This book clarifies and describes the process of integrating metrics into indices for decision-making, with examples from the US, Europe, and Asia.

The Carbon Footprint of our Primary Energy Sources supplies readers with a comprehensive, accessible analysis of the carbon footprints of a range of primary energy sources including crude oil, natural gas, coal, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy, nuclear energy and biofuels, and their carbon footprints, employing a full lifecycle assessment (LCA) of each primary energy source. This text, along with its accompanying interactive calculator, furnishes both the foundation and a tool for estimating carbon footprints for a range of energy systems. The work culminates in a cost-benefit analysis of these primary energy sources. With the significant uptick of global investment in alternative energies and the global focus on reducing emissions, this text delivers an important foundational overview/understanding of these systems, and an opportunity for teachers and readers to apply learnings to their own energy consumption choices.

Evapotranspiration in Agro-Ecosystems and Forestry: Spatio-temporal Applications presents the progress and advances made in terms of science and application of evaporation, transpiration, and evapotranspiration for various vegetation surfaces, water bodies, and bare soil under different soil and crop management (including different irrigation and tillage management) conditions. Sections on forest and wetlands evapotranspiration and grassland evaporative losses are included, as are the fundamentals of original Penman, Penman-Monteith, Shuttleworth-Wallace and ASCE-EWRI and FAO56 Penman-Monteith equations and their derivatives. The book is an excellent resource to better understand the progression and applications and dynamics of most recent evapotranspiration, evaporation and transpiration measurement and modeling technologies. Case studies will be provided in terms of how different technologies are currently deployed, how data are used for providing information and management decisions to the users.

Diddly Squat

It's been another memorable year on Diddly Squat Farm - will the chickens finally come home to roost?---- Welcome back to Clarkson's Farm. So, that went well . . . The spring barley crop failed. Just like the oil seed rape. And the durum wheat. Then the oats turned the colour of a hearing aid and the mushrooms went mouldy. Farming sheep, pigs and cows was hardly more lucrative. Jeremy would be better off trying to breed ostriches. But in the face of uncooperative weather, the relentless realities of the agricultural economy, bureaucracy, a truculent local planning department and the world's persistent refusal to recognise his ingenuity and genius, our hero's not beaten yet. Not while the farm shop's still doing a roaring trade in candles that smell like his knacker hammock, he isn't. On the face of it, the challenges of making a success of Diddly Squat are enough to have you weeping into your (Hawkstone) beer, but misery loves company and in girlfriend Lisa, Farm Manager Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald his Head of Security Jeremy knows he's got the best. And it's hard for a chap to feel too gloomy about things when there's a JCB telehandler, a crop-spraying hovercraft and a digger in the barn. Because as a wise man* once said, 'there's no man alive who wouldn't have fun with a digger . . .' *Jeremy Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, October 2024

Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions

Engineered Nanomaterials for Agricultural Sustainability: Current Status, Methods and Future Strategies addresses the bottleneck between the development and implementation of nanotechnology created by the knowledge gap in the science, regulation and impact on both the environment and consumers. The book presents the latest insights from studies on the mechanisms and fate of nanomaterials in plants in a structured and organized way that enables the reader to design nanomaterials for specific agricultural applications, avoid undesirable effects on those plants, and to identify the most appropriate path forward toward commercial application. With important insights into the regulatory constraints, this volume will be a go-to reference for those seeking to find strategies for using nanomaterials and nanotechnology to improve agricultural output and food security.

Growing Hope takes a closer look at how such narratives can carry the promise of a better future in the face of grim realities. It brings together two kinds of narratives that are rarely considered in conjunction: stories about urban community gardening and stories about vegan food justice. It shows that there is much common ground between these movements and that the stories told by them are worth exploring as part of a larger narrative about creating a better and more equitable future. In the United States, this is especially true for the stories told by and about people of color and their historically marginalized communities. Employing an econarratological approach informed by critical food studies, environmental justice ecocriticism, and transmedia studies, Growing Hope explores a selection of narratives about people who fight against food injustice and the ideologies sustaining it: stories about defiant gardening and culinary self-empowerment.

Big Data Analytics in Agriculture: Algorithms and Applications focuses on quantitative and qualitative assessment using state-of-the-art technology to provide practical improvements to agricultural production. The book provides a complete mapping-from data generation to storage to curation, processing and implementation/application-to produce high-quality reliable information for decision-making. It follows a logical pathway to demonstrate how data contributes to a converging flow of information towards a decision support system and how it can be transformed into actionable steps. The book develops ideas surrounding a strong integration of ICT and IoT to manage rural assets to deliver improved economic and environmental performance in a spatially and temporarily variable environment.

Energy and Climate Change: Our New Future provides an understanding of future energy, energy transition, and climate change. Sections cover key concepts, enabling readers to better understand root causes and future implications while also assessing the current role and future outlook for fossil fuel-based energy sources. Coverage of the very latest cleaner energies gives readers tactics to solve the problems of global warming and climate change. The book also explores how various renewable energy options are affected by climate change, such as strong winds impacting wind turbines, flooding of renewable energy infrastructure, droughts affecting hydroelectric schemes, rising temperatures affecting solar panels, and more. This is an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in energy transition, renewable energy, climate change, and sustainability, including researchers, graduate students, scientists, engineers, practitioners, consultants, industry leaders, urban planners, and government personnel.
