Mycology, fungi (non-medical); Food & beverage technology; Agriculture & farming

Fungi play crucial roles in agriculture, from symbiotic relationships with plants to decomposition of organic matter. As concerns about environmental degradation and climate change escalate, there's a growing recognition of the need for ecologically sound agricultural practices. Fungi can contribute to restoring ecological balance by reducing dependence on synthetic inputs, minimizing soil erosion, and enhancing biodiversity. Additionally, mycological innovations offer promising solutions to enhance crop yields, improve soil health, and mitigate the impact of climate-related stressors on agriculture. Thus, fungal-based technologies are critical for bolstering food production sustainably and ensuring food security. Mycological Inventions for Sustainable Agriculture and Food Production explores innovative ways to leverage fungi for sustainable agricultural practices. It holds significant importance in addressing current agricultural challenges and fostering sustainable food systems. Covering topics such as soil fertility, fungal biostimulants, and pest management, this book is an excellent resource for agronomists, mycologists, agricultural engineers, environmentalists, farmers, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
