Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.Sustainable Agriculture Reviews,2210-4410 ;15AgricultureSustainable developmentSoil scienceSoil conservationAgriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Soil Science & Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000Agriculture.Sustainable development.Soil science.Soil conservation.Agriculture.Sustainable Development.Soil Science & Conservation.338.927570630631.4Lichtfouse Ericedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910768180903321Sustainable Agriculture Reviews1993964UNINA
