[EBOOK] Crop Production under Stressful Conditions (Application of Cutting-edge Science and Technology in Developing Countries), Makie Kokubun And Shuichi Asanuma, Published by Springer

Crops provide us with food, medicines, animal feeds, textiles, energy, and much more. Given that the global population continues to grow, we need to enhance the capacity of crop production worldwide. However, sustainable crop production is threatened by problems such as desertification, salinization of agricultural land, pests, unstable temperatures, and erratic rainfall, which are especially accentuated in developing countries where technologies and human resources addressing these problems are not adequately available.

Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) is a Japanese government program that promotes international joint research to address global issues including food insecurity. The program is structured as collaboration between Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), which provides competitive research funds for science and technology projects, and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which provides official development assistance (ODA) to the developing countries. In the SATREPS framework, food insecurity is recognized as a major global issue, and research projects looking to enhance crop productivity and utilization in developing regions have been implemented. Since the commencement of the first project in 2010, more than 10 projects (including completed) have focused on crop production in developing regions.

This book provides examples that multidisciplinary research teams consisting of molecular biologists, breeders, physiologists, soil scientists, agronomists, chemists, and other scientists related to agricultural development are working together for enhancing the capacity of crop production in the respective regions. For the implementation, teams are putting an emphasis on not only producing novel scientific findings but verifying the effectiveness of the findings in the actual environments prevailing in the respective countries. Specifically, this book provides good examples of application of cutting-edge science and technologies to solving problems in developing countries. We believe that the achievements attained in these projects should be beneficial to researchers, students, and administrators engaged in the field of crop production and food security in developing regions, and lessons learnt will be useful to re-design the strategy to address the issues involved in crop production worldwide.
