BackgroundInformation about the global structure of agriculture and nutrient production its diversity is essential to improve present understanding national food patterns, agricultural livelihoods, chains, their linkages land use associated ecosystems services. Here we provide a plausible breakdown by farm size, also study associations between diversity, production. This analysis crucial design interventions that might be appropriately targeted promote healthy diets in face population...
Resource shortages, driven by climatic, institutional and social changes in many regions of Asia, combined with growing imperatives to increase food production whilst ensuring environmental sustainability, are driving research into modified agricultural practices. Well-tested cropping systems models that capture interactions between soil water nutrient dynamics, crop growth, climate farmer management can assist the evaluation such new One model is Agricultural Production Systems Simulator...
The accuracy of synoptic‐based weather forecasting deteriorates rapidly after five days and is not routinely available beyond 10 days. Conversely, climate forecasts are generally feasible for periods less than 3 months, resulting in a weather‐climate gap. tropical atmospheric phenomenon known as the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) has return interval 30 to 80 that might partly fill this Our near‐global analysis demonstrates MJO significant can influence daily rainfall patterns, even at...
In this study we estimate yield gaps for mixed crop-livestock smallholder farmers in seven Sub-Saharan African sites covering six countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Senegal and Burkina Faso). We also assess their potential to increase food production reduce the GHG emission intensity of products, as a result closing these gaps. use stochastic frontier analysis construct separate frontiers each site, based on 2012 survey data prepared by International Livestock Research Institute...
At a field level spatial crop yield patterns are mainly determined by spatially changing soil properties (e.g. moisture) in interaction with seasonal climate conditions and weather at critical growth stages the development. In this research we combined remote sensing technologies, local canopy condition to describe of 1400ha wheat during 2011 winter cropping season. More specifically, ability remotely sensed derived indices, within visible thermal domains, predict final harvested scale....
Whilst healthcare professions are already considered one of the most stressful occupations, workplaces becoming busier, and potential for workplace absenteeism burnout has intensified. There is growing evidence that mind–body practice Tai Chi, which originated in China as a martial art, value treating or preventing many health-related problems, such stress anxiety, regular helps to significantly improve wellbeing, attention, focus, resilience. This intervention provided 12 sessions Chi group...
SUMMARY The prospect of climate change has revived both fears food insecurity and its corollary, market opportunities for agricultural production. In Australia, with long history state-sponsored development, there is renewed interest in the development tropical sub-tropical northern regions. Climate projections suggest that will be less water available to main irrigation systems eastern central southern regions while net rainfall could sustained or even increase areas. Hence, more intensive...
Volatility in crop production has been part of the Australian environment since cropping began with arrival first European settlers. Climate variability is main factor affecting at national, state and local scales. At field level spatial patterns on yield are also determined by spatially changing soil properties interaction seasonal climate conditions weather critical stages development. Here we used a combination records, canopy characteristics, satellite information to determine...
