This involves concurrent attention to conservation, and sustainable and equitable use. Bioresources constitute the feedstock for the biotechnology industry. The aim of the book is to promote an era of biohappiness based on the conversion of bioresources into jobs and income in an environmentally sustainable manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scope of \u003ci\u003eBiohappiness\u003c\/i\u003e extends to include all aspects of conservation such as \u003ci\u003ein situ\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eex situ\u003c\/i\u003e and community conservation, and also covers conservation issues relating to mangroves and other coastal bioresources, whose importance has grown with the emerging possibility of significant sea-level increase from global warming. Concrete examples of how local tribal families have taken to the establishment of gene, seed, grain and water banks in villages — thus linking conservation, cultivation, consumption and commerce in a mutually-reinforcing manner — are provided in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the first edition, biohappiness is now universally considered to be the major objective of research and development in the field of biodiversity. This edition brings the position up-to-date, and furthers the cause of biohappiness through the inclusion of a new section on its latest developments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword (40 KB)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eConservation, Cultivation, Consumption and Commerce: Pathways to Biohappiness:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTowards an Era of Biohappiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiodiversity and Sustainable Food Security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiotechnology and Biohappiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Gene Management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMangroves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Variety Protection and Genetic Conservation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience and Sustainable Food Security:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tsunami and a New Chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow for the Evergreen Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen Revolution and Sustainable Food Security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriorities in Agricultural Research and Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAchieving Food Security in Times of Crisis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynergy between Food Security Act and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon and Differentiated Entitlements: Pathway for Food Security for All\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigning Architecture for a Learning Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRole of Sustainability Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTowards Eliminating Hunger and Poverty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFood Security in an Era of Climate Change and Civil Strife:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopenhagen, Tsunami and Hunger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonsoon Management in an Era of Climate Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia and the Farm Sector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolving Asia's Contradictions: Growth versus Inequities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Killing Fields to Smiling Gardens in Northern Sri Lanka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding Common International Goals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking Back and Looking Ahead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTowards Furthering Biohappiness:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Technologies for a Small Farm Productivity Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvercoming the Curse of Malnutrition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional Knowledge and Modern Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRole of International Years in Meeting the Zero Hunger Challenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVision of a Food-Secure India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Environmentalists and members of the general public interested in the environment and its various aspects such as sustainability, climate change and conservation.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185349705968,"sku":"9789814656955","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814656955_p0.jpg?v=1763692319","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814656955","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
