Toward Sustainability Soil and Water Research Priorities for Developing Countries

How can high-growth areas such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America sustain agricultural production for current and future generations? Toward Sustainabilityexplores research priorities to support sustainable agriculture. The book identifies six areas that could offer great rewards: addressing institutional constraints on resource conservation, enhancing soil biological processes, managing soil properties, improving water resource management, matching crops to environments, and effectively incorporating social and cultural dimensions into research. Also highlighted is the importance of developing collaborative, integrated research strategies and flexible mechanisms to periodically evaluate and reassess research priorities.National Research Council Staff is the author of 'Toward Sustainability Soil and Water Research Priorities for Developing Countries', published 1991 under ISBN 9780309046411 and ISBN 0309046416.
