Natural Resources - Technology Economics & Policy

<p>Natural resources management has two principal dimensions : </p><p></p><ul> <br><br><li>Science-illuminated (earth space hydrological pedological information etc. sciences) management of local resources (waters soils bioresources minerals rocks sediments etc.) in an ecologically-sustainable manner and </li> <br><br><li>Value-addition through processing of natural products through the application of technology is most marked in the case of some mineral products. </li> <br><br> </ul><p></p><p>The wellness of a community is dependent upon the security of food water environment and energy. Such a security is best realised through science-illuminated (earth space hydrological pedological information) management of local resources (waters soils bioresources minerals rocks sediments etc.) in an ecologically-sustainable and people-participatory manner plus value-addition through processing of natural products. Moreover the addition of value may increase a community’s wealth by advanced technologies trading exchange of knowledge etc. Moreover activities employment and many other things come along with the availability of natural resources which will require and affect policy. </p><p></p><p>This volume provides guidelines for the implementation of technological economical and policy advances in dealing with various aspects of natural resources. It is intended for researchers professionals and students in environmental and earth sciences mining geography sociology economics and for policy makers and investors searching for potential in the natural resources industry. Ideal for consultation in combination with the editor's related publications <em>Green Energy: Technology Economics and Policy</em> <em>Energy Portfolios</em> and <em>Food and Water Security</em>.</p>
