The applied aspects of Biodiversity with reference to environmental issues including food security, biofuel production, dryland farming are now the frontier areas of research focus among researchers. The importance of biodiversity has tremendously increased in recent years. This book will fulfill the need for a one-volume scientific discussion on the major aspects of biodiversity in relation to food and nutritional security, biofuel production and dryland farming. This book is an attempt to furnish students and teachers the information at one place in consolidated and precise manner, covering tools and techniques involved figures, illustrations and examples along with research highlights with updated latest references, in order to elucidate topics making the subject more interesting and knowledge-rich. The book embodies eleven chapters and covers a wide range of topics like protection of phyto-diversity: conflicts and opportunities for biofuels harvests in India, land use policy is the key driver for biodiversity management, future habitat loss: greatest threat to the soil microbial biodiversity etc in the study of biodiversity and its management. Further, topics such as physiological and biotechnological dimensions for sustainable agriculture under changing environmental conditions, food security and nutritional safety: a challenge ahead, cultivation of traditional crops: overlooked answers etc. have also been covered in the book.
