Agriculture is one of the economic sectors that affect climate change contributing to greenhouse gas emissions directly and indirectly. There a trend agricultural reduction, but any practice in this direction should not negatively farm productivity economics because would limit its implementation, due high global food feed demand competitive environment sector. Precision agriculture practices using high-tech equipment has ability reduce inputs by site-specific applications, as it better...
Rapid and cost-effective soil properties estimations are considered imperative for the monitoring recording of agricultural condition implementation site-specific management practices. Conventional laboratory measurements costly time-consuming, and, therefore, cannot be appropriate large datasets. This article reviews proximal sensing spectroscopy in visible near infrared (VNIR)–short wave (SWIR) wavelength region organic carbon matter estimation as an alternative to analytical chemistry...
Farming faces challenges that increase the adverse effects on farms’ economics, labor, and environment. Smart farming technologies (SFTs) are expected to assist in reverting this situation. In work, 1064 SFTs were derived from scientific papers, research projects, industrial products. They classified by technology readiness level (TRL), typology, field operation, they assessed for their economic, environmental, labor impact, as well adoption end-users. It was shown articles dealt with of...
Table grapes are a crop with high nutritional value that need to be monitored often achieve yield and quality. Non-destructive methods, such as satellite proximal sensing, widely used estimate quality characteristics, spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) commonly present site specific information. The aim of this study was the assessment SVIs derived from sensing at different growth stages table veraison harvest. took place in commercial grape vineyard (Vitis vinifera cv. Thompson Seedless)...
Almost one billion people in the world still do not have access to electricity. Most of them live rural areas developing world. Access electricity Sub-Saharan Africa is only 28%, roughly 600 million people. The financing electrification challenging and, order accomplish higher private sector investments, new innovative business models be developed. In this paper, a approach microgrid activities proposed and investigated. approach, agriculture related businesses take lead surrounding...
Integrated farm management (IFM) is promoted as a whole approach toward Agriculture 4.0, incorporating smart farming technologies for attempting to limit livestock production’s negative impacts on the environment while increasing productivity with regard economic viability of rural communities. The Internet Things (IoT) may serve an enabler ensure key properties—such interconnectivity, scalability, agility, and interoperability—in IFM systems so that they could provide object-based services...
Abstract A wide variety of products such as high value-added bioactive materials, biofuels, biochemicals and bioplastics can be obtained by the valorization waste streams in a comprehensive holistic biorefinery concept. In this study meta-analysis available technologies utilizing organic derived from juice industry is conducted. Initially, mass flow analysis performed to quantitatively illustrate orange peel volumes EU followed geographic distribution. The overall sustainability scenarios...
Precision viticulture is the application of site-specific techniques to vineyard production improve grape quality and yield minimize negative effects on environment. While there are various studies inherent spatial temporal variability vineyards, assessment environmental impact variable rate applications has attracted limited attention. In this study, two vineyards planted with different grapevine cultivars (Sauvignon Blanc Syrah) were examined for four consecutive growing seasons...
Urban agriculture can be shortly defined as the growing of plants and/or livestock husbandry in and around cities. Although it has been a common occupation for urban population all along, recently there is interest both from public bodies researchers, well ordinary citizens who want to engage self-cultivation. The modern citizen, though, will hardly find free time grow his own vegetables process that requires, addition knowledge disposition, consistency. Given above considerations, purpose...
The need to intensify agriculture meet increasing nutritional needs, in combination with the evolution of unmanned autonomous systems has led development a series “smart” farming technologies that are expected replace or complement conventional machinery and human labor. This paper proposes preliminary methodology for economic analysis employment robotic arable farming. is based on basic processes estimating use cost agricultural machinery. However, case systems, no average norms majority...
Various Remote Sensing (RS) technologies and platforms have been widely used in olive cultivation studies over the last 16 years. These applied throughout cycle, providing significant insights into growth productivity. The goal of this review was to determine importance RS specific agronomic focus areas order equipment platform requirements studies. For reason, frequency correspondence were carried out. Unmanned aerial vehicles, multispectral sensors, vigour assessment found be important...
The most widespread method for weed control and suckering in vineyards is under-row band herbicide application. It could be performed only (WC) or (WSC) simultaneously. During application, spray drift one of the important environmental issues. objective this experimental work was to evaluate performance specific Spray Drift Reducing Techniques (SDRTs) used either WC WSC applications. Furthermore, reduction achieved by buffer zone adoption investigated. All measurements were conducted...
