Bücher der Reihe Wageningen UR Frontis Series

This book describes the philosophy of functional-structural plant modelling and several tools for making FSPMs;

This book reflects the discussions of leading scientists on the potential impact of global change on malaria and other vector-borne diseases. The book makes clear that environmental change, more than climate change, is the driving force behind the observed changes in disease risk.

This book is notable for its coverage of the entire range of food safety economics issues from "farm to table", including consumer issues, production supply chain coordination, and international trade.

Avian Influenza poses a looming threat for human and animal health. This timely reference examines such sensitive issues as regulation of low pathogenic and high pathogenic AI, surveillance of waterfowl, live bird markets, and outbreak control in densely populated areas.

Aimed at professional soil scientists, soil-water modelers, irrigation engineers etc., this book discusses our progress in soil-water modeling.

New directions in plant systems research are presented and discussed in this book. The book offers new insights in physiology and genetics of crop adaptation for wheat and maize, along with innovative approaches in architectural and physiology-based modelling of crop functioning.

This book reports the proceedings of an international panel of specialists that explored the agricultural, commercial, ecological, legal, pharmacological and social future of medicinal and aromatic plants at a conference organized by Frontis - Wageningen International Nucleus for Strategic Expertise in Wageningen, The Netherlands.

The European Landscape is under stress of changing land use and a changing attitude of its users. Wageningen University and Research Centre organized this workshop aiming to develop visions on the landscape in Europe, its development and design in the future and to strengthen the international network in landscape planning.

Experts on mosquito ecology met for the first time to discuss the current knowledge of mosquito ecology with respect to GM-insect technology. This volume will stimulate discussion by clearly showing the importance of vector ecology for prevention of vector-borne diseases.

It also contains a number of new approaches that integrate economic and epidemiological modelling and economic approaches for measuring these impacts.

This multi-author book deals with 'resource ecology', which is the ecology of trophic interactions between consumers and their resources. This makes the book ideal for teaching and course work, because it highlights the fact that ecology is a living and active research field.

Farming for Health describes the use of farms, farm animals, plants and landscapes as a base for promoting human mental and physical health and social well-being.

This book offers a coherent view on agri-food supply chains by discussing the possibilities and limitations of quantifying performance, risks and investments in the agri-food chain. A wide variety of approaches was used to analyze the complex systems of agri-food supply chains and develop appropriate models for management decision support.

In Western societies the incidence and prevalence of respiratory and food-related allergies have increased rapidly over the past decades.

This book provides guidelines for those pursuing landscape projects based on integrative concepts - interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity - whether they are members of an integrative research team or individuals working on a problem that demands integration.

This book shows that the economic implications of these concerns are far-reaching and complex, ranging from the farm to research and technology development to consumer reactions, and that they influence government response, international trade and public and private incentives for R & D.
