Improvement options for agricultural crop production for food, feed and bioenergy

Improvement options for agricultural crop production for food, feed and bioenergyAgriculture currently faces the dual challenges of both having to increase its overall biomass output while contributing to the mitigation of pressing global environmental changes. It is therefore urged to reconcile these challenges by drastically increasing its performance in the short term. This chapter reviews the agronomic options available at the crop production level to participate in this effort, from single practices to a more integrated
