Industry Reviews

'[...] this book assumes enormous significance, and could not have been published at a more appropriate time.' 'This book deals with techno-economic-social dimensions of the problem like no other publication before.' 'The editor along with his authors deserve full credit for presenting a book with an in-depth analysis of a complex subject, penetrating and interesting, supported by valuable tables, revealing photographs and neat figures.' 'This book is a notable departure from the normal.' From: Journal of the Geological Society of India, vol. 72, p. 279-280, Aug. 2008. 'The strength of the book lies in the wide range of topics it examines--a list that includes remote sensing, aerobic rice, the benefits of fermented food, the role of microenterprises, and the need for enhanced governance of food systems.' 'The book is thus a very useful introduction on developing-country--chiefly Asian--water-for-food issues, aimed at professionals and students in the areas of agricultural and water science, engineering, and planning.' From: Environment. Science and Policy for Sustainable Development, September-October 2009.
