Agriculture Toward Net Zero Emissions explores how agriculture has historically contributed to carbon emissions and then takes the reader forward, offering insights into an integrated approach to reducing those emissions toward the COP26 goal. The dual challenge of increasing production to meet population and nutrition food demands while reducing the traditional emissions generated by production practices is significant. It requires understanding the foundation of current practices and then revising those underlying principles to reflect the resources and greater insights of today.

Presented in three parts, this book provides an overview of the current state of the science, explores the development of policies and plans to improve carbon management, and provides examples of technology and agroecosystem management practices. It includes the latest updates in carbon neutral farming, carbon and energy management, and addresses the knowledge gap between input management, livestock management and agroecosystem management.

Advancing agroecosystem science through a roadmap for improving capacity, Agriculture Toward Net Zero Emissions is a valuable resource for those seeking to develop and apply new agricultural best practices.

Dr. Sandeep Kumar is a scientist (Agronomy) at the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Regional Station, Karnal, India. He is working on enhancing resource use efficiencies in conservation agriculture-based rice-wheat systems for sustainable crop production. He has published 8 books in Springer, Elsevier and national publishers as editor and author as well. He has edited several special issues in MDPI and Frontier having impact factors up to 5.0. Currently, he is an active reviewer of various highly reputed journals, e.g., Sustainability, Agriculture, Agricultural Water Management, Soil and Tillage, European Journal of Agronomy, Plant and Soil, PLOS One and many others. He has received numerous prestigious national awards, including Young Scientist, Best Paper Awards, Best Research Scholar, and Best Master’s Thesis awards. Dr. Ram Swaroop Meena is an Agronomist working in the Department of Agronomy, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, India. Dr. Meena has been awarded Raman Research Fellowship by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. He has completed his postdoctoral research on soil carbon sequestration under Padma Shri Prof. Rattan Lal, World Food Prize Laureate, Columbus, USA.
