Oil Palm Cultivation and Its Environmental Consequences

Oil Palm Cultivation and Its Environmental Consequences

(0)

S$23.00 SGD

Oil palm is the major vegetable oil-producing crop in the world. Oil produced per unit of land area is much higher in oil palm than other oil-producing crops. Therefore, oil palm is one of the world's most significant and vital crops. The major oil palm producers are Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, which are in the ASEAN region. Oil palm contributes to a major share of these countries' GDP and assists in achieving food security and alleviating poverty of these countries. Further, palm oil and its derivatives are a major ingredient in the halal food industry. However, there is debate on the environmental consequences of extensive oil palm expansion. In this book, we are pleased to summarize valuable findings of different researchers on oil palm cultivation and its environmental impacts. This book is organized into two sections: the first section covers details on oil palm cultivation, while the second section highlights the environmental consequences of oil palm. This book intends to summarize most of the environmental impacts created due to oil palm expansion, which can be explored to find remedies.

(0)

S$23.00 SGD

Nowadays, awareness on harmful substances that may occur in food products has increased. Thus, organic food has generated much interest among consumers, businesses and researchers. Some countries support organic farming through agricultural subsidy reform e.g. European Union. Many people are drawn into starting a small organic farm not only to practice healthy eating and lead a better-quality life, but also for the care of the environment. Organic production and marketing have grown at a fast pace and there is another alternative way of doing organic, which is by practicing aquaponics. Aquaponic is a farming system consisting of two combined farming, which are the rearing of aquatic animal and the growing of plants. This farming system has gained a lot of attention as it offers plenty of advantages including convenient farming, practicality, and applicability from small family-scale to commercial large-scale farming. The main objective of this book is to share the practical knowledge of basic aquaponic system. This book contains an introduction to the aquaponic system, an understanding of the principles practiced, the step-by-step construction of the aquaponic unit and also the approach to maintaining the system.
