In case you know a GIS/Agroenvironmental or other Scientist who would like to contribute with a chapter to a Book on "GIS and AgroEnvironmental Sustainability", please inform him/her about the following message:
Dear Sir / Madame,
You could find here:
;
the topics of the open Call for Book Chapters by IGI Global with the title :
"Integration of Geographic Information Systems into Agro-Environmental Sustainability".
This book is going to strengthen the potential dynamics derived by the combination of Geospatial Technologies, especially in relation with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with issues of Agro-Environmental Sustainability throughout the world, promoting benefits, best practices and future opportunities through the presented chapters.
Please, in case of interest, use the online system (just click on the black box with the phrase "Propose a Chapter"), or use my e-mail for submitting your proposals.
The 2nd Deadline of chapter's proposals will be on 30 August 2014.

I used to work at Leicester Uni (UK) and there were a number of researchers using GIS for agricultural land based studies. A few key people I can think of for you to email are: Lex Comber ([email protected]); Booker Ogutu ([email protected]); and Kevin Tansey ([email protected]). Cheers, rachel
Rachel, Krishnamurthy, thank you both very much for your information.
With best wishes, Abraham.
I used GIS in many studies related to the use of renewable natural resources (wind-power) in agricultural lands. Both in the governamental and in the private sector. Practically there were changes in land-use due to several hundreds of (most of them pf 3 MW/h) windmills built in (former) agricultural plots. Is it of interest the subject for the book? If it is, please let me know on the following address: [email protected]
Dear Dr. Torok,
First of all, I would like to thank you for your expression of interest on the Call for Book Chapters by IGI Global on "GIS and AgroEnvironmental Sustainability".
The answer to your question is "yes". You could certainly submit your proposal for book chapters on applications of GIS in studies related to the use of renewable natural resources (wind-power) in agricultural lands.
This is very interesting topic as I have personnally co-authored a paper last year on related subject as regards Greece, where we have found that wind-power mills were developed within protected territories of NATURA 2000 network and, at the same time, there was severe reduction of qualitatitive products because of photoboltaic parks. Benefits derived through productional and fertile lands were lost as they were abandoned so as to select photoboltaic energy.
So, by all means, we will be waiting your submission.

Thank you once more for your interest.
With best wishes,
