The wellness of a community is dependent on the security of food, water, environment, and energy. This security is best realized through science-illuminated management of local resources in an ecologically-sustainable and people-participatory manner, plus value-addition through processing of natural products. This book provides guidelines for the implementation of technological, economical, and policy advances in dealing with various aspects of natural resources. It is intended for researchers, professionals, and students in environmental and earth sciences, mining, geography, sociology, and economics and for policy makers and investors searching for potential in the natural resources industry.
