Currently, an agricultural method called SynecocultureTM has been receiving attention as a means for multiple crop production and recovering from environmental degradation; it helps in regreening the environment establishing augmented ecosystem with high biodiversity. In this method, several types of plants are grown densely, their management relies mainly on manual labor, since conventional machines robots cannot be applied complex vegetation. To improve work efficiency boost by scaling-up...

Abstract Transformative change in primary food production is urgently needed the face of climate and biodiversity loss. Although there are a growing number studies aimed at global policymaking, actual implementations require on-site analyses social feasibility anchored by ecological rationale. This article reports in-depth characterizations low-input mixed polyculture highly diverse crops managed on self-organization ecosystems, which performed better compared to conventional monoculture...

We experimented a novel system of small-scale market gardening, namely synecoculture, in the temperate zone Japan and semi-arid tropic Burkina Faso. Synecoculture is based on highly biodiverse mixed polyculture crops, including underutilized neglected species, basis no-till, no-fertilizer, no-chemical practices. Through measurements analyses species diversity, vegetation surface distribution, plantinsect interactions, soil environmental variables, yield performance, food nutrition...

We investigate the possible role of intermittent chaotic dynamics called itinerancy, in interaction with nonsupervised learnings that reinforce and weaken neural connection depending on itself. first performed hierarchical stability analysis Chaotic Neural Network model (CNN) according to structure invariant subspaces. Irregular transition between two attractor ruins positive maximum Lyapunov exponent was triggered by blowout bifurcation spaces, associated riddled basins structure. secondly...

Recently emerging data-driven citizen sciences need to harness an increasing amount of massive data with varying quality. This paper develops essential theoretical frameworks, example models, and a general definition complexity measure, examines its computational for interactive science within the context guided self-organization. We first define conceptual model that incorporates quality observation in terms accuracy reproducibility, ranging between subjectivity, inter-subjectivity,...

We consider the graph representation of stochastic model with n binary variables, and develop an information theoretical framework to measure degree statistical association existing between subsystems as well ones represented by each edge representation. Besides, we novel measures complexity respect system decompositionability, introducing geometric product Kullback–Leibler (KL-) divergence. The satisfy boundary condition vanishing at limit completely random ordered state, also existence...

Crop culture conditions are one of the important interfaces between food, environment, and health, an essential research area for maintaining social-ecological integrity. In recent years, it has been reported that difference in monoculture with external inputs (in cultura) self-organized ecological niches natura) is significant resulting physiological property plants. It also suggested there exist metabolic proxies various foods can separate these two conditions, which does not depend on a...

Diets are key factors that link environmental and human health. Global degradation of ecosystems health state firmly related to diet transition production system. We propose a distinction <i>in cultura</i> natura</i> by the culture condition consequent load it imposes, which leads definition as possible alternative for sustainable diet. By considering food components markers linking environment, we investigate statistically invariant features characterize difference between...

Abstract Transformative change in primary food production is urgently needed the face of climate and biodiversity loss. Although there are a growing number studies aimed at global policymaking, actual implementations require on-site deep analyses social-ecological feasibility. Here, we report first low-input mixed polyculture highly diverse crops (synecoculture) Japan Burkina Faso. Results showed that self-organized ecosystems follows power law performs better compared with conventional...

The ratio of dietary n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is higher in the modern Western meal when compared with that Paleolithic era. Evidences have been accumulating extremely high increases risk disease and deterioration physical conditions among humans. In this study, linoleic acid (C18:2, n-6) α-linolenic (C18:3, n-3) rucola, Eruca sativa, was between naturally grown samples conventional farming products (n=3 for each). We found rucola contained significantly amount (p=0.026), resulting...
