Developing countries have made impressive progress in food production in recent years but at a high cost to environmental quality. As their populations continue to grow, soil degradation, contamination of natural waters, air quality, and greenhouse gases become increasing concerns. This book takes on the challenge of enhancing agricultural production while reversing trends in environmental degradation. It reviews the state of natural resources, fertilizer and energy needs, the importance of biotechnology, water quality, agricultural chemicals, pesticide residues, water harvesting, post-harvest food losses, storage and processing of animal products, and economic factors.
