Christie, B.R. (ed.) (2019) CRC handbook of plant science in agriculture.Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press.First published in 1987, this two-volume set is an exhaustive compilation of the most recent data on economically important crops. Volume I presents information on genetics, botany and growth of crop plants, while Volume II covers the production of Crops and their utilization. |
Parvathi, P., Grote, U. and Waibel, H. (eds) (2018) Fair trade and organic agriculture: a winning combination?Wallingford, Oxfordshire, UK Boston, MA: CABI.The markets for organic and fair trade certified commodities are growing rapidly, with environmentally sound and more equitable certification systems likely to offer benefits for both small-scale farmers and society at large. Despite much debate about their contribution to sustainability, there has been little scientific analysis, so it is vital to assess if it is technically and economically feasible to meet growing consumer demands regarding food safety, quality and ethics through smallholder and marginal producers. Overall, there is a need to explore the potential of these certification systems as emerging areas in research and development cooperation. |

Musselman, L.J. and Rodenburg, J. (2023) Parasitic plants in African agriculture.Wallingford, Oxfordshire: CABIParasitic Plants in African Agriculture brings together for the first time in a single volume, the ecology, biology, damage, and control of all groups of African parasitic plants including both the relatively few parasites introduced to the continent as well as those native parasites that have spread from within Africa. The book covers the well-known witchweeds and broomrapes but also groups and species that have received less attention including mistletoes, dodders, rice vampire weed, and other species posing threats. |
Sutherland, L.-A. (2019) Transition pathways towards sustainability in agriculture.Wallingford: CABIThis book focuses on understanding farming transition pathways towards sustainability, using case studies from Europe. It assesses the utility of the multi-level perspective in transition theory for addressing contemporary issues and identifies future research needs, making it an essential read for researchers of rural or agricultural change. |
