On the other hand, one in nine of the World's population suffers from chronic hunger, the vast majority of which live in developing countries. We therefore need to find new and sustainable solutions to feed this increasing population and alleviate the predicted negative impact of global changes on crop production. This e-Book deals with new strategies to improve food security and livelihoods in rural communities, reduce vulnerability, increase resilience and mitigate lthe impact of climate change and land degradation on agriculture. This collection of 18 articles addresses the major abiotic factors limiting crop production worldwide, how to characterize and exploit the available plant biodiversity to increase production and sustainability in agrosystems, and the use of beneficial microbes to improve production and reduce the use of fertilizers and pesticides. 606 $aBiodiversity 610 $abiofertilizer 610 $aEcological intensification 610 $aInoculation 610 $aClimate Change 610 $aintercropping 610 $adrought 610 $aBreeding 610 $aSalinization 615 0$aBiodiversity. 700 $aSparvoli$b Francesca$0425493 702 $aHash$b Charles T. 702 $aMasmoudi$b Khaled 702 $aLaplaze$b Laurent 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346749603321 996 $aHarvesting Plant and Microbial Biodiversity for Sustainably Enhanced Food Security$93419905 997 $aUNINA
