Global trends including population growth, changing diets and consumption patterns, urbanisation and climate change will exert increasing pressure on supplies of food and other products of ecosystems. Many experts predict that food production will need to increase by up to 100 per cent over the next forty years and some suggest that this can only be achieved through intensification of current i...

Spectroscopic methods provide with very useful qualitative and quantitative information about the biochemistry and chemistry of antioxidants. Near infrared (NIR) and mid infrared (MIR) spectroscopy are considered as powerful, fast, accurate and non-destructive analytical tools that can be considered as a replacement of traditional chemical analysis. In recent years, several reports can be found...

Organic chemicals discharged in urban wastewater from industrial and domestic sources, or those entering through atmospheric deposition onto paved areas via surface run-off, are predominantly lipophilic in nature and therefore become concentrated in sewage sludge, with potential implications for the agricultural use of sludge as a soil improver. Biodegradation occurs to varying degrees during w...

today, all over the word, we see the scientists, thinkers, politicians, consumers, producers and ecologists (who support the environment) pretest against the method of agriculture, because trying to increase the crop outcome to its maximum rate for hectare through the irregular use of chemical input in industrial agriculture lead to a disaster in human life which will endanger the whole life on...

the undesirable negative consequences of conventional farming have lead to the need and emphasis for new sustainable agricultural production techniques. organic farming has arisen to be considered as one of the sustainable agricultural systems. agricultural experts play an important role in extension and spread of the system. the research goal is to investigate the effective factors on expert&a...

Since insuring agricultural products is one of the effective instruments for risk management in agricultural sector, it can reduce risk avoidance among farmers and increase their competence in using production factors and, consequently, increases their inclination towards investment in agricultural sectors. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the factors influencing policyholder...

China's urbanization will influence the future world economic development. China's s urbanization rate is from 10.6% in1949 to 53.73% in 2013, and the research center of the experts predict that China's urbanization rate will reach 60% in 2020.The characteristic of China's urbanization is the coordinated development of four modernizations, which includes informatization, industrialization, urba...

An abundance of agricultural by-products have been used to feed dairy and beef cattle in Taiwan, in order to reduce the cost of livestock production. Most farmers are not concerned about the nutrient value of agricultural by-products. They need to be educated on how to utilize by-products properly. Research to improve techniques of preservation and the efficiency of utilization of agricultural ...

Organic farming has become increasingly popular in the world. This is mostly attributed toescalating consumer concerns over the impacts of pesticides and chemical fertilizers on humanhealth as well as growing concerns over environmental pollution derived from modernagricultural practices, such as rising greenhouse gas emissions and water contaminations. Butdoes organic farming actually displace...
