This comprehensive book delves into the current state of the water-soil-agriculture nexus in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, providing up-to-date information and insightful case studies. It showcases a range of applications from countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and Jordan, while also engaging in discussions on the latest findings. The content encompasses a diverse array of agriculture-related topics, including water resources management, climate change impacts, wastewater treatment for reuse in agriculture sectors, sustainable approaches to agricultural-based industries, organic crop production, crop water requirements, and soil environment. Additionally, the book explores the applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing as innovative tools for enhancing agricultural management, with a specific focus on their use in Egypt as a representative country.

In conclusion, the book addresses the implementation of an environmental information system in data-scarce MENA countries from the perspective of the water-food nexus. It also raises important questions about climate justice in the MENA region. By offering a wealth of topical information and case studies, this book serves as an invaluable resource for agricultural sustainability-related stakeholders, researchers, and graduate students in the region.
