Agricultural research for sustainable food systems ? recommendations with special reference to Sri Lanka. 330 $aA food system comprises the entire range of actors and interlinked activities related to food production, processing, distribution, marketing and trade, preparation, consumption, and disposal. When a food system operates without compromising the needs of future generations, it is considered to be a ?Sustainable Food System.? The present-day food systems in Sri Lanka are diverse, and the natural and physical environment, infrastructure, institutions, society and culture, and policies and regulations within which the food systems operate, as well as the technologies employed, have shaped their outcomes. Agricultural research is a key factor in terms of innovation and technological advances. Innovation has been the main driver of food systems? transformation over the past few decades and will be critical to addressing the needs of a rapidly growing population in a context of climate change and scarcity of natural resources. In addition, agricultural research must help meet the rising demand for food at affordable prices. Comprising 17 chapters written by specialist(s) in their respective subject-areas, this Contributed Volume on ?Agricultural Research for Sustainable Food Systems in Sri Lanka: A Historical Perspective? shares the scientific knowledge accumulated by the National Agricultural Research System of Sri Lanka, including universities, and offers recommendations on how to make food systems more sustainable in order to address the current needs of Sri Lankan society. It presents perspectives on four key thematic areas, namely: (i) Crop and animal production, management, and improvement, (ii) Agro-product processing technologies, (iii) Natural resource management, and (iv) Socio-economic development and agri-business management. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aNatural resources 606 $aFood?Biotechnology 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aNatural Resource and Energy Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010 606 $aFood Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C15001 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aAbastament d'aliments$2thub 606 $aGenètica vegetal$2thub 606 $aAgricultura$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aNatural resources. 615 0$aFood?Biotechnology. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aNatural Resource and Energy Economics. 615 24$aFood Science. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 7$aAbastament d'aliments 615 7$aGenètica vegetal 615 7$aAgricultura 676 $a338.1 702 $aMarambe$b Buddhi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWeerahewa$b Jeevika$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDandeniya$b Warshi S$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409702903321 996 $aAgricultural research for sustainable food systems in Sri Lanka$92513646 997 $aUNINA
