Samenvatting

Bioremediation of Emerging Contaminants from Soils: Soil Health Conservation for Improved Ecology and Food Security deals with current challenges of sustainable soil health using eco-friendly approaches. This book provides ways of reducing the chemical burden on the soil by maintaining balance in terms of society, environment, and economy, which are considered basic pillars of sustainability.

Designed to highlight soil health best practices for both environmental and agricultural sustainability, these approaches are also considered important for improving global food security by ensuring safe growing conditions for crops for food and feed. Presented in two parts, this book first highlights emerging contaminants and their sources. The second part explores a variety of steps and tools for addressing contaminated soils, including bio- and phytoremediation options. Case studies in each part provide real-world insights for practical application.
