Globalization has transformed agri-food markets, creating a single global market with reduced trade barriers. In theory, this should bring increased food security, yet challenges persist. Small farmers often need help integrating into global sourcing networks and meeting stringent food safety regulations. Additionally, there is increasing pressure on businesses and governments to address the environmental and resource consequences of agri-food production. Advanced Computational Methods for Agri-Business Sustainability offers a comprehensive analysis of agricultural sector challenges and provides practical solutions. It identifies potential issues in agri-food management and supply chains, offers mitigation strategies, and highlights opportunities for sustainable development. The book aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing insights for academics, policymakers, and industry professionals.

Soils contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through carbon sequestration. By enhancing soil health and fertility, soils can play a crucial role in climate action, land degradation neutrality, and alleviating hunger. The present study provides a spatially explicit report on the state of grassland soils and can be used as a baseline for future work to explore the impacts of livestock management on soil carbon at regional, country and farm levels. Assessing the current state of grassland systems and their potential to sequester carbon in the soil is of key importance to understand the trade-offs between grassland services on food security, biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation.

Knowledge systems are an essential aspect to the preservation of a community’s culture. In developing countries, this community-based knowledge has significant influence on such things as decision making and problem solving. The Handbook of Research on Social, Cultural, and Educational Considerations of Indigenous Knowledge in Developing Countries is an authoritative reference source for the latest scholarly research on the importance of knowledge and value systems at the community level and ways indigenous people utilize this information. Highlighting impacts on culture and education in developing nations, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academicians, policy makers, students, and professionals interested in contemporary debates on indigenous knowledge systems.
