Sommario/riassunto |

This book explores the diverse potential of agroforestry systems in transforming agricultural practices to sustainably produce food, feed, and materials for supporting community livelihoods. Agroforestry stands out for its ability to detoxify contaminants in soil, water, and plants, thereby providing high quality and affordable food and feed. The topics in this book include the cultivation of plant-based food and |

feed sources within the spaces between trees, known as alley crops, and the integration of fruit trees, which diversify nutritional sources. Agroforestry not only enhances food security but also bolsters livelihood security by adding value to agroforestry products, from farming plots to the final food products, and through associated animal husbandry and fishery practices. The rapid growth of trees in agroforestry systems offers lucrative opportunities, such as timber production, which alleviates pressure on natural forests and aids in forest conservation and climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. The book highlights how agroforestry aligns with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields related to soil, water, sustainable agriculture, and natural resource conservation. Additionally, it offers practical insights for farmers and practitioners aiming to sustain food production and promote healthy livelihoods through hands on practice of real farm-based numerical problems and solutions within the context of climate change, with agroforestry as a nature-based solution for improved soil and water conservation on every farm. |

"Beginning with a clear account of the historical setting for The Abolition of Man and its place within C.S. Lewis' corpus of writing, Contemporary Perspectives on C.S. Lewis' The Abolition of Man: |
|

History, Philosophy, Education and Science assesses and appraises Lewis' seminal lectures, providing a thorough analysis of the themes and subjects that are raised. Chapters focus on the major areas of thought including: philosophy, natural law, education, literature, politics, theology, science, biotechnology and the connection between the Ransom Trilogy. Drawing on Lewis' central ideas, they tackle questions such as, is The Abolition of Man hostile to scientific inquiry? Does Lewis provide an adequate rational defense of natural moral law? Do the lectures address the philosophical questions of the 21st century as Lewis sought to provide answers to philosophical questions of the 20th century? Dealing with themes across multiple areas of human inquiry, the authors bring expertise from their respective fields to bear on the core issues raised in Lewis' lectures. The result is an interdisciplinary approach that offers the first comprehensive scholarly treatment of The Abolition of Man, one of the most debated of Lewis' works."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |
