The economics of crop production in the newly reclaimed land of the Nobaria region in Egypt was analysed, using data from a sample of 80 farmers. The findings reflect a decreasing productivity and show that irrigation cost results in a decrease in return; return of fruit and vegetable crops ...
8.In paragraph 3, why does the author provide information about the types of crops grown and boats used in Southeast Asia during the period around 5000 B.C.E.? A. To evaluate the relative importance of agriculture and fishing to early Austronesian peoples B. To illustrate the effectiveness...
Forage production and soil water balance in oat and common vetch sole crops and intercrops cultivated in the summer-autumn fallow season on the Chinese Loe... on both harvesting dates were all greatest in I21, water use efficiencies at the early and late harvestings were greatest in SO and ...
In the United States: It seems clear that planting crops for energy production competes with the use of grain for food and (animal) feed production. This is not a novel finding. One of the stated policy aims of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in promoting programmes for making bioethanol...
In 2014, the Minister of Agriculture in Egypt announced a ban on the cultivation ofBtcotton and maize after a debate on a TV program concerning the possibilities of hazards ofBtcrops (unpublished). In Hawaii, growingBtcotton has been prohibited since 2013 (James2016). ...

One of the key tasks of the Sustainable Development Goals connected to Agriculture, Safety and nutritional quality of food is to raise crop production per unit area without compromising the sustainability of agricultural resources and environmental security. Along with environmental constraints, soil salini...
Abiotic pressures including drought, high temperature, flooding and salinity influence the development and productivity of plants. Also, global climate change will increase the incidence and magnitude of abiotic stress, indicating that a variety of growt
We conclude by discussing a broader consideration of risk and risk mitigation strategies in ancient agriculture and potential implications to the sustainability of the IC urban centres. Keywords: agent-based modeling; Indus civilization; climate change; bronze age; agriculture Graphical Abstract...
Therefore, the Mediterranean agrifood system will require the development of adaptation strategies to cope with the aforementioned climatic changing conditions, giving special consideration to rainfed agriculture, particularly in light of its importance in relation to its extent in terms of surface area. ...
