1. Resources Use Efficiency in Agriculture
2020 by Sandeep Kumar, Ram Swaroop Meena, Manoj Kumar Jhariya



Attaining zero hunger and ensuring food security stand as paramount objectives within the United Nations Development Goals (UNDGs). In a context marked by burgeoning populations and mounting demands on agricultural systems, optimizing the utilization of natural resources has emerged as a pivotal component of sustainable agricultural practices. Essentially, eco-efficiency revolves around the idea of maximizing agricultural yields, both quantitatively and qualitatively, while minimizing the consumption of land, water, nutrients, energy, labor, and capital. This concept encompasses the ecological and economic dimensions of sustainable agriculture, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem elements within the expansive agricultural landscape, as well as the economic imperatives of farmers. This book investigates the latest eco-efficient techniques employed in agro-systems. Drawing upon global research and diverse examples, it provides an up-to-date overview and offers practical insights into strategies applicable to poly-cropping systems and landscape-scale management. These approaches enhance the stability of agricultural production systems, contributing to the realization of food security. The book will be of interest to educators, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders, and policymakers. Moreover, it serves as supplementary reading material for undergraduate and graduate courses related to agriculture, forestry, soil science, and environmental sciences.
