The use of new technology is vital to remain competitive in the global agribusiness sector. Farmers need to reduce crop costs and increase yield per square acre to stay competitive. Some farmers have adopted bee vectoring technology. This involves raising bees and using them as a delivery method ...
Originating in the 1970s, sun-grown coffee is produced on plantations where trees are cleared so that coffee cultivation occurs in rows in direct sunlight. According toresearch, sun-grown coffee creates the highest yield, but eliminates the diversity of plants which support an array of insects an...
Biomass use for energy and materials is, on the one hand, one of the key mitigation options to reach the 1.5 °C GMT target set in the Paris Agreement, as highlighted by the IPCC and many other key analyses. On the other hand, particularly in parts of the EU, a strong negative connot...
It also helps prevent and control grass pests while enhancing crop yield and operational efficiency [15,16,17,18]. The dynamic evolution of cropping patterns is insufficiently understood to accomplish suitable cultivated land protection. In addition, to our knowledge, no relevant literature is ...
Natural disasters can also drive prices higher. For example, if a hurricane destroys a crop such as corn, prices can rise across the economy since corn is used in many products. Demand-Pull Inflation Demand-pull inflationcan be caused by strong consumer demand for a product or service. When...
A large-scale crop model is forced by a range of climate datasets over West Africa to test the sensitivity of simulated yields to errors in input rainfall. The model skill, defined as the correlation between observed and simulated yield anomalies over 1968-1990 at the country scale, is used ...
To fly, drones must have a power source, such as a battery or fuel. They also commonly have rotors, propellers or wings and a frame. The frame of a drone is typically made of a lightweight, composite material to reduce weight and increase maneuverability. ...
is an intrinsic asset of those landscapes under consideration, contributing to biodiversity and resource management, to the use and processing of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products, to climate change mitigation and adaptation, to environmental education, to communication, and to the governance ...
Urban farming is a term that is often interchanged with other concepts such as community gardening, homesteading, or subsistence farming. However, it’s important to differentiate them. Urban farming primarily aims at cultivating produce for commercial purposes, focusing on selling the yield, rather ...
The method of hydroponic gardening, which does away with the use of soil, is an intriguing and advantageous approach for gardeners and farmers of all levels
