| dc.description.abstract | As the world population grows, the productivity of the
world's crop land must increase rapidly maintain the minimal
supplies currently available in the world. Keeping such a
necessity as primary in its agenda, .agricultural process
engineering involves the application of engineering ad
scientific principles to agricultural production, farm
management and management of natural resources. As
agriculture becomes increasingly mechanised, it becomes
pertinent to consider not just the proper application of the best
engineering technology to agriculture, but also its relevance,
and agricultural process engineering provides a step in the
right direction.
The current text aims to delineate for the readers about
what entails agricultural process engineering, Discussing its
principles, concepts and practices, the book seeks to acquaint
the reader with the primary concerns of this field which
includes such practices as designing agricultural machinery,
power system design, environmental science, food and
bioprocessing technology soil and water conservation, etc. The
aim of the text is to not just list and discuss these endeavours,
but to infact make assessment of the opportunities, challenges
and prospects offered by it. In addition, it vies coverage to
current trends and developments in the field, lending its
contents a more relevant outlook. | en_US |
