The book emphasizes the agricultural measures that enhance root capacity to develop and function under a range of water and nutrient regimes to maximize food, feed, and fibre production, as well as minimize undesirable water and nutrient losses to the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis reference includes resources that discuss a variety of soil, plant, agronomy, farming system, breeding, molecular and modelling aspects to the subject. It also discusses strategies and mechanisms that underpin increased water- and nutrient-use efficiency and combines consideration of natural and agricultural systems to show the continuity of traits and mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, the book explores issues related to the global economy as well as widespread social issues that arise from, or are underpinned by, agricultural intensification.
