Preface
Agroecosystemservicesareimportanttoperformvariousnature-basedfunctionsfor
humankind.Agroecosystemservicesactasaregulatorformaintainingsoilandwater
quality, gradual build-up of soil carbon stock and pool, and has a rich heritage of
agricultural biodiversity. Secondarily, agroecosystem regulates the nutrient runoff,
sedimentation process, maintenance of fauna, and other essential services for the
benefit of human civilization. Above all, it is the basic unit of production of food,
fodder, bioenergy, and various herbal products for the benefit of humans. In the
modern world, food security is the biggest challenge of the twenty-first century.
Furtheragriculturestandsforapproximately40%ofthegloballandareacoverage.
Therefore, proper sustainable intensification and management of agroecosystem
along with maintaining ecological harmony is the future perspective of
agroecosystem management and development. As per the latest projection across
theglobe,morethan800millionpeopleremainhungryinvariouscountries.Further,
intensificationofmorethan70%inthefoodproductionsectorwouldberequiredto
fulfill the demand for food for more than 10 billion people till 2050. The
sustainability of the agroecosystem is under severe stress due to the motto of
overproduction and resource utilization. High input agriculture gives rise to a high
energyfootprint,agriculturalpollution,resourcedepletion,lossofagro-biodiversity,
and human health. In this connection, sustainable intensification helps to achieve
advanced food security and sustainable approaches through eco-friendly
technologies for the sustainability of the agroecosystem. Mismanagement of
agroecosystemmayleadtolossofagro-biodiversity,eutrophication,sedimentation,
soildegradation,andpestinfestationleadingtoalossinyieldandproductivity.
More studies need to be done on the particular issue entitled “Sustainable
IntensificationforAgroecosystemServicesandManagement.”Textbooksareavail-
ableintheglobalmarketthataddressesspecificissuesonagriculture,itsproduction,
environmentalconsequences.Thepresenttitlewouldintegratealltheconceptsintoa
singledimensionfromwhichvariousscientists,researchscholars,academicians,and
policymakers can be benefitted from updated information. New insights are very
much important in this particular aspect as our very existence depends on the
sustainabilityoftheagroecosystem.Thepresenttitleconsistsofchaptersaddressing
the issue of sustainable intensification, agroecosystem services, agroecosystem
management, and overall sustainability of the agroecosystem. The present book

consists of some specific research case studies considering some components of
agroecosystemsuchascropresiduemanagement,technologicalmanagementofthe
rice–wheatsystem,anaerobicdigestate,biochar,climaticinfluenceoverfruitquality
and agroecosystem health, and watershed sustainability. These would provide new
insightsintothefieldofagroecosystemmanagement.Sometitlesupdatethereader
about thecurrentscenarioontheissueoffoodsecurity,sustainableintensification,
resource conservation, eco-designing, agroecosystem sustainability and services,
and soil and crop management. Therefore, the present title would help to address
currentissuesandtheirmanagementholistically.Theobjectivesthatwillbefulfilled
by the present title are as follows: (1) present context of agroecosystem and its
problem,(2)identifythekeyareasofresearchinthefieldofsustainableintensifica-
tion, (3) identify the agroecosystem services and their potential role for ecosystem
sustainability, (4) aware the globe in this context so that future policies can be
framed from this for the betterment of human civilization, and (5) address sustain-
able intensification for agroecosystem management and services. It would help the
academicians,researchers,ecologists,environmentalists,students,capacitybuilders,
and overall the policymakers to have in-depth knowledge in the diverse field.
Eminent academicians and scientists across the globe would be invited related to
the theme of the book to share their scientific innovation, research outputs, views,
andopinions,anexperiencethatwouldenlightentheacademiccommunity.Eachof
the chapters has good scientific support in terms of scientific database, diagram,
graph, image, picture, and flowchart as per the requirement with proper recent
updated citation. All the chapters would be thoroughly reviewed by the respective
individual of specific discipline which would enrich the chapter content from a
future research perspective. The submission would be reviewed by the editorial
team for further upgradation. It would set a roadmap for the preparation of
sustainabilityinagroecosystemsinthefuture.
