This book presents an overall aspect of sustainable development of environment in every aspect. Rapid urbanization due to huge population and economic growth has unprecedented effect on the environmental sustainability. The article described here covered traffic safety to waste management, utilization of nanotechnology, bioremediation, alternative energy resources, energy storage, and societal sustainability. Also, this book presents the current innovation in the field of safe and secure management of urban society that are sustainable as well as eco-friendly. Every country is looking for alternative, sustainable, and clean energy resources to meet the demands. Agricultural sector has a critical role in global energy trend, because it not only consists of 3-4% of global energy consumption but it also contributes energy production through biogas and bioethanol production, etc. The proposed book describes the recent advancement in the field of clean energy production, storage, and transport and sustainable agriculture. Also, few of the chapters in this book describes new techniques for eco-friendly soil strengthening techniques where microbes-based processes are used for treating soil. Few of the articles also discussed on the forest fire restriction, sustainable tourism, and forest seedling. Agro-food waste recycling and management are also discussed in this book. Also, recent innovation in the reduction of the energy during its conversion has been presented as a research or review articles. A few chapters in this book describe recent trends on the environment-friendly agricultural practices and plant disease detection. Around 32 chapters will be there in this book with reviews, research, and case studies on the above-mentioned topics.
