Abstract
According to the United Nations, the World population will reach 9 billion by 2050, with the majority of this growth occurring in developing countries.

We therefore need to find new and sustainable solutions to feed this increasing population and alleviate the predicted negative impact of global changes on crop production. This e-Book summarize current research to improve food security and livelihoods in rural communities, reduce vulnerability, increase resilience, and mitigate land degradation in developing countries...
