Besides live biomass and decaying dead biological matter, humus constitutes an important component of organic matter in the soil. Humic substances are heterogeneous polymers formed during the process of decay and degradation of plant, animal, and microbial biomass. The humic fraction of organic matter is a stable nutrient base that serves as a slow-release source of carbon and energy for indigenous, slow-growing microorganisms in the soil. This book discusses recent advances and applications of humus and humic substances in agriculture, industry, and the environment. Chapters address such topics as the chlorination and phenanthrene sorption for humic and fulvic acids extracted from different soils, humic substances as growth promoters for farm animals, dynamics and function of humus from tropical forests, and much more.

Revisiting Plant Biostimulants focuses on recent advances in plant biostimulants (PBs), an eco-friendly sustainable technology that supports the increased agricultural production required to feed rapidly growing populations. PBs contain diverse bioactive natural substances: (i) humic and fulvic acids, (ii) animal and vegetal protein hydrolysates, (iii) macroalgae seaweed extracts, and (iv) silicon, as well as beneficial microorganisms. There are many concerns about the sustainability of current conventional methods as continued use of chemicals degrades both soil and the environment. This book explores the use of PBs, and their potential responses to current and impending environmental change.

Do you dream of gathering fresh eggs from your own hens? Does saving money and living naturally appeal to you? Transform your backyard into a homestead that puts food on the table, reduces household waste, and helps you return to your roots.At one time homesteading allowed settlers to move west and claim land by farming it. Today, modern homesteaders choose to raise backyard chickens and tend gardens and orchards to increase sustainability and selfreliance.You, too, can make your backyard a productive oasis in an uncertain world.No matter why you wish to homestead, you'll find the simple life can be a lot of work. Without a plan to follow and goals to strive for, your path to selfreliance could be rather rocky. Let's dig in and see if you're ready to start.1. Do you want to reduce waste and increase sustainability?2. Will you have time to care for your homestead?3. Are you able to do physical labor?4. How much space do you have?Your responses will shape your homestead plans and projects. With a quarter acre, you could raise small livestock and grow fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, and grains. The harvest from your backyard could reduce your grocery bills, fill your pantry, and provide additional income.Your growing conditions, budget, and time will determine how much you can grow. Assuming you have average conditions and an average lot, in one year you have the potential to raise the following:¿ 6 laying hens to provide 1,200 eggs¿ 25 meat chickens to provide 125 pounds of meat¿ 2 turkeys for the holidays¿ 2 goats to provide 180 gallons of milk¿ 2 beehives to provide 80 to 120 pounds of honey¿ 6 dwarf fruit trees to provide 6 to 24 bushels of fruit¿ 4 nut trees to provide 50 to 150 pounds of nuts¿ Small grains to provide up to 3 bushels of field corn¿ Raised beds to provide 300 to 2,500 pounds of vegetablesTo produce these yields, you'll need to purchase livestock feed, plant intensively, and invest in tools and supplies. You can also begin on a smaller scale and increase production as you gain experience.Throughout this book, you'll find helpful checklists, step-by-step instructions, and budget breakdowns to help you determine which projects to tackle. Beginners are often tempted to try everything immediately, but keepyour expectations realistic and enjoy the journey to self-reliance. Let's get started.

This book examines the changing roles and functions of the soybean throughout world history and discusses how this reflects the complex processes of agrofood globalization.The book uses a historical lens to analyze the processes and features that brought us to the current global configuration of the soybean commodity chain. From its origins as a peasant food in ancient China, today the protein-rich soybean is by far the most cultivated biotech crop on Earth; used to make a huge variety of food and industrial products, including animal feed, tofu, cooking oil, soy sauce, biodiesel and soap. While there is a burgeoning amount of literature on how the contemporary global soy web affects large tracts of our planet's social-ecological systems, little attention has been given to the questions of how we got here and what alternative roles the soybean has played in the past. This book fills this gap and demonstrates that it is impossible to properly comprehend the contemporary global soybean chain, or the wider agrofood system of which it is a part, without looking at both their long and short historical development. However, a history of the soybean and its changing roles within equally changing agrofood systems is inexorably a history about globalization. Not only does this book map out where soybeans are produced, but also who governs, wields power and accumulates capital in the entire commodity chain from inputs in production to consumption, as well as identifying the institutional context the global commodity chain operates within. The book concludes with a discussion of the main challenges and contradictions of the current soy regime that could trigger its rupture and end.This book is essential reading for students, practitioners and scholars interested in agriculture and food systems, global commodity chains, globalization, environmental history, economic history and social-ecological systems.
