Geoinformatics is a cutting-edge tool that develops and uses information science technology that can have far-reaching implications that include boosting agricultural output, increasing food supply, and reducing hunger-related problems in poor and developing countries. This new book, Geoinformatics: An Emerging Approach for Sustainable Crop Production and Food Security, highlights the many applications of geoinformatics in agriculture, mainly its potential to improve agricultural systems and environmental issues through innovative, eco-friendly approaches.

The book is divided into seven sections.

Part I

contains foundational material on the field of geoinformatics.

Part II

discusses the role of geoinformatics in agriculture and food security.

Part III

serves broad knowledge about geoinformatics-based crop screening and protection.

Part IV

explains how geoinformatics integrates big data and AI for sustainable agriculture and horticulture.

Part V

deals with geoinformatics and fertilizers and base management of soil fertility.

Part VI

discusses cutting-edge GIS methods for abiotic stresses management and climate change.

The final section

discusses the application of geoinformatics for policymaking and the impact of geoinformatics and climate change on agriculture systems.

Providing state-of-the-art knowledge on both theoretical and applied aspects of nanotechnology in soil science, plant breeding, biotechnology, tools design, formulation, application, and management, as well as the effects of these tools on soil properties and plant characteristics, and some abiotic interactions, this new volume will prove invaluable for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in agricultural and related disciplines as well as policymakers.
