The greatest challenge for agriculture is to reduce the trade-offs between productivity and long-term sustainability. Therefore, it is interesting to analyse organic agriculture which is a given set of farm practices that emphasise ecological sustainability. Organic agriculture can be characterised as being less driven by off-farm inputs and being better embedded in ecosystem functions. The lit...

Digital Agriculture is a Intelligent computer management and application system that includes many high new technologies, such as infomationization, digitization, network, automation and so on.

won{gil park [won{gil park, j. math. anal. appl., 376 (1) (2011) 193{202] proved the hyers{ulam stability of the cauchy functional equation, the jensen functional equation and the quadraticfunctional equation in 2{banach spaces. one can easily see that all results of this paper are incorrect.hence the control functions in all theorems of this paper are not correct. in this paper, we correctthes...

Private rights in living objects have always been controversial. Agriculture provided the first wave in human civilization. Therefore, agriculture including plant breeding and agricultural methods pre-dated any form of IPR protection unlike industry and commerce. Traditionally, IPR was not applied to agriculture. In recent times, this position has changed and increasingly agriculture is seen as...

There are issues when researchers want to consider homogeneous, with regard to some functional relationship, groups. For example, in representative farm modelling analysts are interested in specifying groups of farms that have the same input/output relationship. This paper proposes to use the underlying functional relationship to derive such groupings. The paper employs finite regression mixtur...

Agriculture has multiple functions to fulfill for the development of the Sub-Saharan Africa countries: a source of growth, an instrument for poverty reduction, and a contribution to the provision of environmental services. Yet, it is still used far below potential, with gains in land and labor productivity lagging below those of other regions. Successful use of agriculture for development will ...

The diary supply chain, as all other agri-businesses, is complex. Technically, the chain starts with raw milk production & ends when processors, institutions consumers utility products which are created in value chain. As consumer’s habits and decisions not static, it imposes urgency for change order to have ever-changing needs met. However, this demand has a direct effect on people within they...

Land cover maps are of vital importance to various fields such as land use policy development, ecosystem services, urban planning and agriculture monitoring, which mainly generated from remote sensing image classification techniques. Traditional usually needs tremendous computational resources, often becomes a huge burden the community. Undoubtedly cloud computing is one best choices for classi...
