Food and Water Security - Sustainable Solutions

This book provides a broad overview of both the global Sustainability of water and food and climate that will have huge impacts on water and food availability. Solutions to the food, clean water for a current world population of 7 billion are one of the greatest challenges that require technology innovation and changes in public policy. As the universities has seen a considerable increase in interdisciplinary environmental courses, this research-oriented reference book could be a practical guide for scholars interested to gain their knowledge in the area of Environmental Sustainability without a strong background in both fields. Considering the fact that the population growth increasing the demand on water and food. This new volume is also a valuable guide for professionals with strong interests in interdisciplinary research involving environmental science, environmental management and sustainability science. 
 
This research-oriented volume highlights include:
 Introductory chapters for conceptual framework on how to better understand the global sustainability of water and food.
 Case studies to illustrate interconnections among water and food sectors
 Introduction to engineering solutions that include both "soft path" and technology innovation methods.
 Case studies for management of water, agricultural growth and food security using empirical analyses and technological interventions.
 Case studies to minimize water and food pressures and achieve green growth. 
 The book highlights fundamentals of synergy framework on water, food and the future of sustainability. It illustrates practical concepts for higher-level undergraduate and graduate level students.
 Securing water, energy and food is a complex challenge and different regions have different stress points. There will never be a one-size-fits-all solution. However, by working together across sectors and geographies, we can help minimise conflicts and competition while striving to meet the world's changing needs.
