Environmental Chemistry New Techniques and Data

Environmental Chemistry New Techniques and Data

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary field of study that involves the science of ecology as well as chemistry. Environmental chemistry covers the basic chemistry and biochemistry that occur naturally in the world around us. It focuses on the air water and land. Environmental science normally begins by determining the chemical reactions that are occurring in the environment when all systems are in balance and then goes on the discover how chemistry has changed when there is an imbalance caused by stress or pollution. The field is constantly changing with new discoveries being made all the time. The availability of new and more sensitive instruments in analytical science is enabling the detection of smaller and smaller concentrations of pollutants in the environment. This new volume deals with a host of important topics in environmental chemistry such as pesticide-related illnesses in humans and plants the effects of litterfall in the soil of tropical forests toxicants in various bodies of water and much more. | Environmental Chemistry New Techniques and Data

Agribusiness as the Future of Agriculture The Sugarcane Industry under Climate Change in the Southeast Mediterranean

Agribusiness as the Future of Agriculture The Sugarcane Industry under Climate Change in the Southeast Mediterranean

This informative book reviews the challenges of agribusiness in the Southeast Mediterranean. The author focuses on sugarcane cultivation in Egypt to illustrate the impact of climate change on agribusiness and his method and findings may be helpful for other studies in other regions as well. As climate change creates new risks to human populations and food security a better analysis is needed to understand this new level of uncertainty and to understand how it will impact agriculture and its relationship with economies livelihoods and development. Africa emits low greenhouse gases but is hit the hardest by global warming posing a serious challenge to increasing agricultural productivity in the Southeast Mediterranean. Sugarcane in Egypt is used as a local food source for international trade for the balance of payments for land and water use and as a basic product for food and fiber manufacturing. Hence every aspect of the economic structure of Egypt relates to agriculture. The book examines the causes and effects of climate change on agribusiness in the Southeast Mediterranean region such as its effect on prosperity and net farm incomes crop yields. It considers how to promote agribusiness development in the area and the potential to alleviate poverty in rural areas. It looks at the future of the sugarcane industry in Upper Egypt as a case study of agribusiness with implications that can be applied globally. | Agribusiness as the Future of Agriculture The Sugarcane Industry under Climate Change in the Southeast Mediterranean
