levels of agricultural abatement incentives in the form of a carbon tax for a broadacre farming system in Western Australia's Great Southern Region. This is the first attempt to investigate farmer's response to agricultural GHG abatement incentives in the Australian dryland mixed crop-livestock ...
This is an important reason why extension agents have great difficulty convincing farmers to change to a sole crop strategy which in fact may not be justified. It also supports the desirability of research into mixed cropping under improved technological conditions.doi:10.1080/00220387408421509...
Smart agriculture and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have become the key points for many intelligent decision-making applications to support agricultural experts and farmers, especially for crop pest management and control. In this work, we present an IoT-based sound detection model for identif...

Importantly, the farmer perceptions in this study agree with major research studies and confirm the serious impacts of pests on smallholder livelihoods. In order to achieve positive livelihood outcomes there is an urgent need for support to improve smallholder food security; this is especially ...
Technical efficiency decreased, however, with higher education level of the farmer and with higher off-farm income. Farm income is low due to low productivity, market constraints, lack of technology, and institutionally related constraints. Environmental conditions in the Msinga district are such that...
Among others, integration of forage legumes in cereal based cropping systems has been proposed as a promising strategy to improve the sustainability of smallholder farming systems through increased crop and livestock productivity and better soil management. Using experimental data from Ethiopia and ...
