Wheat alone provides 20% of the calories and protein in the global human diet. Understanding the interactions between wheat production, the environment, and human nutrition is essential for meeting the demands of food security as we approach the middle of the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWheat: Environment, Food and Health\u003c\/i\u003e is written by two leading authorities in the field and offers insights into critical issues such as the sustainability of wheat production, the challenges of both mitigating and adapting to environmental change, and the effects of wheat consumption on human health.
