Due to many challenges (i.e. climate change, energy, water and land shortage, high
demands on food, land grabbing, etc.), agriculture production potential is expected
to be seriously affected; thus, increasing food insecurity and hunger in many already
affected regions (especially in Africa). In this context, sustainable agriculture
is highly recommended as an eco-system approach where soil, water, plants, environment
and living organisms live in harmony. Innovative technologies and research should
be developed to ensure sustainable agriculture and productivity using modern irrigation
systems, improved varieties, improved soil quality, etc. In the meantime, the preservation
of natural environment should be based on resource conservation technologies and best
management practices. Sustainable Agricultural Development, not only raises the serious
ethical and social issues underlying these huge environmental problems, but also aims
at presenting successful experiences from all over the world in relation with sustainable
farming, sustainable management of water and land resources, and innovative processes
in livestock production. It also aims at providing inputs to decision making processes
and encouraging the transfer of relevant know-how, technologies and expertise to different
countries where similar agro-climatic conditions may exist; thus saving precious resources
and promoting sustainable agricultural development as a relevant approach to tackle
the food security challenge. Finally, this book focuses on the paradigmatic and policy
dimensions and call for an innovative approach by analyzing the key themes in a complex
and interrelated manner
