Conventional crop production using agrochemicals presents human health and environmental challenges. Rising concerns about environmental sustainability have increased attention toward improved, efficient, and sustainable means of crop production. Various strategies are employed in enhancing crop production to adapt and mitigate climate change and ensure food security. The future of food production relies on improving productivity without compromising long-term productivity and environmental sustainability. Feeding the ever-increasing world population would require concerted efforts by all stakeholders to combat the impact of climate change and numerous ecological challenges facing food production. Hence, innovative technologies and methods are indispensable in mitigating the effects on food security. The book looks at the current challenges and solutions, from an African perspective, regarding food safety and health management, food security and nutrition, climate change and sustainable food production, and forest resources and food security. The target audience is scientists, graduate students, researchers, academicians, and professionals in food production for sustainable development and ecosystem management. This book will also be helpful to policymakers and specialists in framing future feasible agro-ecosystem policies. 001453278 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 1, 2022). 001453278 650_0 $$aFood security$$zAfrica. 001453278 650_0 $$aFood industry and trade$$zAfrica. 001453278 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001453278 7001_ $$aBabalola, Olubukola Oluranti. 001453278 7001_ $$aAyangbenro, Ayansina Segun. 001453278 7001_ $$aOjuederie, Omena Bernard. 001453278 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBabalola, Olubukola Oluranti$$tFood Security and Safety Volume 2$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022$$z9783031096136 001453278 852__ $$bebk 001453278 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-09614-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001453278 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1453278$$pGLOBAL_SET 001453278 980__ $$aBIB 001453278 980__ $$aEBOOK 001453278 982__ $$aEbook 001453278 983__ $$aOnline 001453278 994__ $$a92$$bISE
