Sustainable methods often incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, which have minimal environmental impact. On the other hand, unsustainable methods rely heavily on fossil fuels, which contribute to pollution and are limited in supply. 9 In agriculture, sustainable practices ...
While a vertical farm has yet to become a reality, the idea is gaining momentum among those who believe that current sustainable farming methods will be insufficient to meet out the requirements of growing global population. Sustainable agriculture is the practice of farming using principles of ...
Rural revitalization (RR) addresses three key rural issues: agriculture, villagers, and the countryside34.Firstly, agriculture is the backbone of rural areas and essential for RR; resolving agricultural challenges is crucial for sustainable rural development35. Secondly, villagers are vital to agricultura...
(i) the concept of seed priming for mitigation of abiotic stress; (ii) the nature and application of solid-matrix priming in agriculture; (iii) The production of nano-chitosan and its use as seed priming agents; and (iv) lastly, the role and mechanism of action of chitosan and nano-...
Our methods are divided into complexity tiers, providing a clear path for even the simplest experiments to contribute to the bulk of the knowledge that will shape the future of RBA science and see it mature as an integrated part of sustainable off-world agriculture....
METHODS We develop a new framework for the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices that proposes four key elements: Entirety, variability, sophistication, and longevity. We incorporate this framework into a latent class analysis, using data from a nationwide survey of U.S. row crop farmers' ...
Since the utilization interdependence of Water, Energy, Food is crucial in sustainable management and agriculture, this model utilizes the triple interdependence of these resources as the primary basis for agricultural management. Six indices, including water consumption, energy consumption, water ...
Sustainable farming is farming or agriculture that is done in such a way that is intended to be sustainable in the long term...
Chitosan is a natural non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and mucoadhesive polymer. It also has a broad spectrum of applications such as agriculture, medical fields, cosmetics and food industries. In this investigation, chitosan nanoparticles were p
Establishing desirable cropping systems with higher fertilizer-use efficiency and lower risk of environmental pollution is a promising approach for more sustainable agriculture development. Intercropping may facilitate phosphorus (P) uptake and reduce P-fertilizer application rates. However, how root-root int...
