The decrease in organic matter content in agricultural soils is a problem of great concern to farmers around the world. Indeed, it lowers soil fertility which directly impairs agricultural crop production and affects a number of other soil properties like water retention capacity, aggregation and structure formation, soil mechanical strength, or compatibility. This book highlights the significance of urban agricultural production, the technologies and methods for supplying organic materials to the farmland, recovering plant nutrients and energy, and systems for sustaining farmlands. It pays particular attention to the effects of added organic matter on soil bulk density or porosity and consequently on plant available water.
