Description

Address the global challenge of food security with this comprehensive study from CRC Press. As worldwide food losses from pests reach an estimated 45 percent, understanding the mechanics of these shortages is vital for environmental and agricultural stability. This book provides a detailed look at the specific factors driving these numbers, including the 30 percent loss caused by insects, plant pathogens, and weeds during the preharvest stage. Beyond the field, the text examines the 10 to 20 percent of food lost postharvest to microorganisms, insects, and rodents. By presenting data on the extent of these crop losses, the contributors analyze both immediate and long-term pest management strategies. This resource is designed for those needing to evaluate the effectiveness of various management approaches to protect the global food supply and mitigate environmental impact.
