Overpopulation and climate change are among the greatest challenges the world faces. (CSA) provides an adequate answer by aiming for higher productivity, resilience, as well as GHG emission reduction. As small-scale farms are the cornerstone of the sector, especially in developing countries, their greater involvement in climate-related actions is …
is one of the economic sectors that affect climate change contributing to greenhouse gas emissions directly and indirectly. There is a trend of greenhouse gas emissions reduction, but any practice in this direction should not affect negatively productivity and economics because this would limit its implementation, due to the high global food and feed demand and …
In terms of the adoption and sustainability studies to assess , an economic study [11] analyzed three different robotic weeding applications for the particular case of high-value crops and concluded that the cost of robotic applications was lower than the cost of conventional systems. Remarkably, the authors pointed out that …
The adoption of innovations may boost the transition to sustainable models. Among these innovations, precision farming offers a fundamental contribution to sustainable soil management and the improvement in product quality. The work is set against this background and aims to analyse the rate of introducing precision farming tools and the variables that prevent/facilitate this …
Abstract. The global landscape is undergoing a profound transformation driven by technological innovation. This transformation is encapsulated by the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in , creating what is commonly referred to as “ ” or “Precision …
ZERO’s automated and modular vertical-farming-as-a-service tech stack enables farmers to grow anything, anywhere. The company helps farmers extend AI-enabled systems to the edge to …
Global climate change has posed serious threats to production. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ensuring food security are considered the greatest challenges in this century. Climate- (CSA) is a concept that can provide a solution to the challenges that development faces. It can do so in a sustainable way by increasing adaptability …
The World Bank defines Climate (CSA) as “an integrated approach to managing landscapes—cropland, livestock, forests, and fisheries—that addresses the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change.”. CSA aims to enable the sector to produce more and better quality of food; be more resilient to …
1. Introduction. Climate change and food security have become critical topics in sustainable development. The Food and Organization of the United Nations proposed the climate- (CSA) concept, which has attracted international attention for its innovative use of technology in addressing challenges [1,2].
Assistance to inventory and analyze systems that use energy and identify ways to improve efficiency through an Energy Management Plan. Sentinel Landscapes Initiative The Sentinel Landscapes Partnership is a coalition of federal agencies, state and local governments, and nongovernmental organizations that work with private …
These results implied that most of the farming population in Siaya County were female. Additionally, most (86%) of the sampled household heads were literate. The literacy level implied that most smallholder farmers in Western Kenya could effectively comprehend innovations. Smallholders had an average age of 51.9 years.

The JV is a dramatic step forward in a years-long farming strategy for AGCO, the third largest (by sales) global equipment manufacturer headquartered in Duluth, Georgia. With …
By summarizing more than 140 important and representative papers in the past 10 years, a clear outline for the development, application and trend of the core robotic technologies is finally drawn in this review. 2. Mobile platform and In-field navigation. 2.1.
farming combines traditional practices with information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance produce and quality. The usage of technology in can help farmers reduce labor and cut down on costs while improving crop yield and production at the same time.
In this perspective paper we consider the implications of a digital transformation , a subject which hitherto has received limited attention. We raise critical questions about how digital will intersect with established modes of knowing and decision-making. We also consider the implications for the wider Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS …
Due to natural phenomena like global warming and climate change, production is increasingly faced with threats that transcend boundaries. Management practices at the landscape or community level are often required to adequately respond to these challenges (e.g., pest migration). Such decision-making at a community or beyond- level—i.e., practices that are jointly …
XAG P100 Pro flying over the fieldNow the use of drones has grown rapidly in the US, with many farmers showing interest in this technology. XAG’s drones have great potential in the US market, as they offer various functions that help reduce pesticide and fertilizer use, cut production costs, and improve farming efficiency.
The CAP 2023-27 is a modernised policy, with a strong emphasis on results and performance. On 2 December, 2021, the agreement on reform of the common policy (CAP) was formally adopted. The legislation, which entered into force on 1 January 2023, paves the way for a fairer, greener and more performance-based CAP.
farming has come at the right time, and represents a pivotal shift in strategies and methods, as well as an enormous opportunity for AgriTech innovators and manufacturers. Working together, it may very well usher in a era of farming efficiency and sustainability.
capabilities created by farming can optimize processes, allowing production to escalate while using fewer natural resources. farming combines different technologies, devices, protocols, and computing paradigms to enable the farmers to make the most out of innovations.
An in-depth look of how Thailand nurtures the 4.0 practices. Since the young farmer programme was first implemented in Thailand as part of the country’s development plan almost a decade ago, the sector has continued to grow to heights as the farming approach is continuously influenced by technological disruption.
The study presented in this work introduces practical, cheap, and easy-to-develop tasks that are useful to increase the productivity of an company, deepening the study of the model; the technological progress in a field that needs control and optimization can really contribute to save environmental resources, respect the …
farming represents a modern approach to production, integrating cutting-edge technologies like IoT, robotics, drones, and AI to enhance management, boost output, and minimize environmental footprints. Its primary objective is to elevate both the quality and quantity of products while optimizing human labor …
Climate- (CSA) is an approach to dealing with these interlinked challenges in a holistic and effective manner. CSA helps guide actions to transform and reorient systems to support development and food security effectively and sustainably under a changing climate. It is not a production system – it is a means …
Texas A&M AgriLife Research is anticipating the largest competitive grant in the organization’s history – up to $65 million – to execute a five-year, multi-commodity project to work with Texas’ large sector on expanding climate- and forestry practices.
, an outreach program focused on literacy, has educated more than 168,000 people in the Imperial Valley and surrounding areas since its inception in 2001.
