{"product_id":"green-organic-agriculture-ayodele-farinde-9798847340878","title":"Green Organic Agriculture: Optimizing Local Resources for Sustainable Agriculture","description":"There is no denying the fact that the present conventional agri-food system has witnessed a significant growth at the expense of food safety, environmental quality, human health and social justice. Conventional agri-food system which encourages chemical, capital and energy-intensive agricultural practices has escalated the cost of production. Meanwhile, farmers are at the mercy of manufacturers of chemical inputs especially when their products are not in the marketplaces. Equally, there is a wide knowledge-skill gap about the local resources that can be harnessed for sustainable food production.\u003cbr\u003eIn view of that, this book was written to expose agricultural stakeholders to \u003cb\u003eGreen Organic Agriculture (GOA) \u003c\/b\u003econcept, principles and practices\u003cb\u003e. \u003c\/b\u003eThe book documents practical experiences, indigenous knowledge, scientific knowledge and relevant technology. It will help agricultural stakeholders to identify and optimize local resources for fertilizers, pesticides, microbial solutions, therapy\/prophylaxis, feed and food production hence reducing the cost of production. The book is a strategic tool for developing climate-smart agriculture as well as circular economy and green economy.\u003cp\u003eSummary of the book contents include the following;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concepts of Green Organic Agriculture (G.O.A)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeaning of Green Organic Agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Need for Green Organic Agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoals of Green Organic Agriculture (G.O.A)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractices in Green Organic Agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIdentification and Utilization of Green Resources (of over 200)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBotanical Resources\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Legume Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Non-Legume Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Grass Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Aquatic and Marine Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Aromatic \u0026amp; Medicinal Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Pesticide and Fertilizer Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Climbing Shade Plant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Packaging Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Multipurpose Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Plant Wastes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBiological Resources\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Animal Wastes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Beneficial Organisms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAgromineral Resources\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Liquid-form Agrominerals\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Solid-form Agrominerals\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBasic Technologies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Simple Farm Machineries and Implements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Plasticulture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Preservation Technology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Packaging Technology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Material Conversion Technology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Monitoring Equipment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimple Steps for Producing Selected 28 Organic Inputs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Microbial Solutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Fertilizers and Bionutrients\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Pesticides and Repellants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ayodele Farinde\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798847340878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Ayodele Farinde","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637390885119,"sku":"9798847340878","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75e74191-1860-4e1a-8d11-8fa18fc6d3ee.jpg?v=1765115897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/green-organic-agriculture-ayodele-farinde-9798847340878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
