PREFACE

 In an era marked by remarkable environmental challenges, rapid technological advances and progressive economic conditions, the world is at a critical juncture. Approaches to Environment, Technology, and Economy responds to these complexities by providing an integrative examination of the innovative ideas, scientific research, and practical solutions that aim to bridge the gaps between these disciplines. The book offers a unique perspective on environment, technology and economics through comprehensive and thoughtful chapters. Approaches to Environment, Technology, and Economy is an interdisciplinary exploration of cutting- edge research addressing some of the most pressing issues facing society today. This compilation brings together six distinct chapters covering topics ranging from “Waste Plastic Separation: An Artificial Intelligence-Based Approach,” “Metaverse Effects in Financial Technology,” “Studying Antifungal Activity of Ailanthus altissima Leaves using In-Vitro and In- Silico Methods,” “Climate Resilient Cities: Preparation for the Future,” and “A Review on the Effect of Design Modifications in Trailer-Tractor Geometry on the Aerodynamic Drag Coefficient” to “Different Drying Methods Applied to Potato.” These diverse contributions reflect a common goal: to create a sustainable, resilient, and forward-looking future. Each author provides unique insights into their respective fields, contributing to a shared vision that encompasses the environment, technology, and economics. The aim of this book is to stimulate discourse and encourage action among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. In summary, it envisions a future where science, technology, and economics are integrated to promote environmental sustainability. We would like to acknowledge the efforts of the authors and contributors, thanking them for their dedication and expertise. May these pages inspire readers to explore, innovate, and contribute to a future where environment, technology, and economy thrive in harmony.
