Introduction

Soil Improvement and Water Conservation Biotechnology is a comprehensive guide addressing the urgent challenges of soil degradation and water scarcity in agriculture. This book explores innovative biotechnological strategies for enhancing soil health, conserving water, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. It covers foundational topics like soil composition and water management in arid regions, focusing on Mexico’s unique desert environments. Advanced chapters highlight cutting-edge solutions, including biofertilizers, biopesticides, microalgal applications, bioremediation, nanotechnology, and biological desalination. The book also introduces tools like luminescent biosensors for pesticide detection and ethical and social aspects of environmental biotechnology.

Tailored for students, researchers, and professionals in agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental science, this book bridges theoretical insights with practical applications to offer sustainable solutions for global soil and water challenges.

Key Features:

  • - Biotechnological solutions for soil improvement and water conservation.
  • - Practical case studies, tools, and methodologies for sustainable agriculture.
  • - Ethical and social dimensions of environmental biotechnology.

Readership

Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, agricultural professionals, and environmental advocates.
