Overview

The agricultural sector faces a critical problem in the wake of climate change. Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events pose significant challenges to farmers worldwide. These environmental shifts require innovative solutions to ensure sustainable food production, water management, and resource conservation. The Handbook of Research on Climate Change Mitigation With Hydrogel in Agriculture, edited by Elsayed Zaki and Shimaa Elsaeed, emerges as a comprehensive solution to address these pressing issues. This groundbreaking handbook tackles these issues by exploring the potential of superabsorbent hydrogels (SAPs) in revolutionizing agricultural practices. In three-dimensional networks, SAPs offer impressive water-holding capacity, providing a viable solution for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on farming. By reducing irrigation rates, enhancing soil moisture retention, and promoting plant growth, hydrogels provide a sustainable and efficient approach to water management in agriculture. The book delves into the synthesis, properties, and applications of hydrogels, shedding light on their environmental benefits and economic advantages for farmers. Designed for farmers and researchers in agriculture institutes, the Handbook of Research on Climate Change Mitigation With Hydrogel in Agriculture presents a comprehensive guide to adopting hydrogel technology as a solution to climate change challenges. It covers topics such as climate change mitigation, hydrogel applications in agriculture, and the potential synergies with artificial intelligence. By providing practical insights, research advancements, and evidence-based approaches, this handbook equips agricultural stakeholders with the necessary tools to implement hydrogels and optimize resource utilization. It serves as a transformative resource to propel sustainable farming practices and contribute to a more resilient agricultural sector in the face of climate change.
