Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This monograph presents innovative solutions for transforming agroecosystems from environmental liabilities into climate mitigation tools. The authors examine cutting-edge agrotechnical treatments, environmental engineering technologies, and circular economy principles that enable agricultural waste to serve as effective soil improvers.
MoreLong description:
As agricultural systems bear the brunt of global population growth, the world faces an unprecedented challenge: meeting rising food demands while mitigating environmental degradation and climate change. The agricultural intensification methods pioneered since the 1960s have exacted a significant environmental toll in the form of diminishing biodiversity, reducing carbon storage capacity, depleting water resources, degrading soil quality, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
This comprehensive monograph presents innovative solutions for transforming agroecosystems from environmental liabilities into powerful climate mitigation tools. The authors examine cutting-edge agrotechnical treatments, environmental engineering technologies, and circular economy principles that enable agricultural waste to serve as effective soil improvers and fertilizers. Particular emphasis is placed on the physicochemical properties of biochar and its critical role in carbon sequestration, offering readers both theoretical foundations and practical applications.
This is a valuable resource for agricultural scientists, environmental engineers, sustainability professionals, policymakers, graduate students in environmental sciences, and anyone committed to understanding and addressing the intersection of food security and climate change.
