商品描述
This book provides a comprehensive and forward-looking examination of neglected and underutilized crops (NUCs) as key enablers of climate-resilient and sustainable food systems. Addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change, environmental degradation, and food insecurity, it brings together innovative strategies, practical case studies, and emerging technologies to demonstrate how NUCs can enhance agricultural resilience, diversify livelihoods, and support biodiversity conservation.
Integrating scientific evidence with indigenous and local knowledge, the chapters illustrate how NUCs contribute to efficient resource use, improved nutritional outcomes, and strengthened ecosystem services across diverse agroecological contexts. By combining theory with real-world applications, the book offers actionable insights for researchers, policymakers, development professionals, and practitioners seeking inclusive, low-input, and climate-adaptive solutions.
With its interdisciplinary perspective and global relevance, this volume positions neglected and underutilized crops not as marginal commodities, but as strategic assets for transforming agriculture and empowering smallholder farmers and rural communities worldwide.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書全面且前瞻性地探討了被忽視和未充分利用的作物（NUCs），作為氣候韌性和可持續食品系統的關鍵推動力。針對氣候變遷、環境退化和食品不安全所帶來的緊迫挑戰，本書匯集了創新策略、實用案例研究和新興技術，展示了NUCs如何增強農業韌性、多樣化生計並支持生物多樣性保護。
本書將科學證據與本土和地方知識相結合，各章節說明了NUCs如何在多樣的農業生態背景中促進資源的有效利用、改善營養結果以及加強生態系統服務。通過將理論與現實應用相結合，本書為研究人員、政策制定者、發展專業人士和尋求包容性、低投入及氣候適應解決方案的實踐者提供了可行的見解。
本書以跨學科的視角和全球相關性，將被忽視和未充分利用的作物定位為不再是邊緣商品，而是轉型農業和賦能小農及全球農村社區的戰略資產。
作者簡介
Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed has served for over two decades at Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, where he is widely recognized as a senior agronomist, climate change expert, and crop modeler. His research centers on climate variability, IoT-based agricultural applications, and the impacts of climate change on crop ecology, physiology, cropping systems, and rainfed farming.
He is an expert in process-based crop and agro-ecosystem modeling and remote sensing, employing tools such as APSIM, AquaCrop, DSSAT, DNDC, CropSyst, STICS, and EPIC to develop and evaluate climate-resilient agricultural strategies. Since 2020, Dr. Ahmed has been consistently listed among the world's top 2% of scientists, reflecting the global impact and citation strength of his research.
Dr. Ahmed has established extensive international collaborations with research institutions in Australia, Sweden, South Korea, South Africa, the West Indies, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. He has actively contributed to major global initiatives, including REACCH and AgMIP, and continues to play a key role in shaping global strategies for climate change adaptation and resilience in agriculture.
