"Sustaining Soil and Water Quality in Changing Climate" offers a comprehensive guide to navigating the challenges of modern farming through a lens of sustainability. The first two chapters, "Fundamentals of Soil Science" and "Water Resources in Agriculture," establish a solid foundation by exploring essential principles of soil health and the critical role of water in agricultural practices. Emphasizing responsible water management, these chapters address the pressing issue of water scarcity and offer strategies for optimizing water use in farming. This book serves as a valuable resource for farmers, researchers, and policymakers by providing insights and practical strategies to achieve sustainable agriculture amidst a changing climate. The holistic approach, combining traditional knowledge with cutting-edge technologies, makes it an indispensable guide for those committed to fostering agricultural practices that are both environmentally conscious and resilient to climate variations. This book stands as a testament to the urgency and significance of adopting sustainable agriculture practices, particularly in the face of the formidable challenges posed by a changing global climate.
