This book presents advanced knowledge and techniques to improve food quality, such as organic farming, fertilization using waste, reducing arsenic in food, soil restoration, forage production in arid regions and weed control. Agriculture is actually facing two major challenges, feeding an ever-growing population and providing safe food in the context of pollution, climate change and the future circular economy.

Dr. Eric Lichtfouse is professor of environmental chemistry and scientific writing at Aix Marseille University and Xi’an Jiaotong University, and Chief Editor and co-founder of the journal Environmental Chemistry Letters. He has invented carbon-13 dating following the discovery of various temporal pools of a single individual organic substance in soils. He has published the book Scientific Writing for Impact Factors, which includes a new tool – the Micro-Article - to identify the novelty of research results. He got the analytical chemistry prize from the French Chemical Society, the grand prize of the Universities of Nancy and Metz, and a journal citation award by the Essential Indicators. He is world XTerra vice-champion and ITU cross triathlon world bronze medal in age category.
