The edited book follows a systematic and situation-sensitive approach for discussing the socio-ecological, economic, cultural, and traditional perspectives of using and promoting wild edibles. This can help in building social-ecological resilience by addressing nutritional, climate and conservation challenges in the Anthropocene. Chapters significantly emphasize on the history, theory, future, and innovations as the main pillars of endorsing wild edibles for localizing various UN SDGs, and other relevant international promises related to climate, conservation of biodiversity and...

This open access book is a compilation of advances in sweetpotato genomics, which have been used to improve our understanding of the evolution of sweetpotato, increase our knowledge of crop growth and development, and provided critical information required for genomic-assisted breeding in sweetpotato.  Sweetpotato is a critical food staple for millions of people in the developing world that has long been considered an under-resourced, orphan crop.  However, this perception is changing, and significantly, more resources have been devoted to the improvement of sweetpotato in both...

The book describes how nanobiostimulants, which are nanoscale materials that can enhance plant growth and productivity, have the potential to revolutionize sustainable agriculture practices. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the properties and functions of nanobiostimulants, the mechanisms behind their effects on plant growth, and the potential risks associated with their use. It also discusses how nanobiostimulants can be used to improve soil health and nutrient uptake, enhance plant resistance to environmental stresses, and increase crop yields. Overall, the book provides...
