Despite great recent progress, hunger and poverty remain widespread and agriculturally driven environmental damage is widely prevalent. The idea of agricultural sustainability centers on the need to develop technologies and practices that do not have adverse effects on environmental goods and services, and that lead to improvements in food productivity. Here we show the extent to which 286 rece...

Recent trend of mobile computing is emerging toward executing resource-intensive applications in mobile devices regardless of underlying resource restrictions (e.g. limited processor and energy) that necessitate imminent technologies. Prosperity of cloud computing in stationary computers breeds Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) technology that aims to augment computing and storage capabilities of mo...

Technology will help to address the challenges for sustainable forestry in the 21st century. Some of the challenges will include the shift of production from native forest to plantations in areas of comparative advantage, more efficient processing delinking end-use products from raw wood characteristics, increased demand, better information technologies to support decision makers, and more opti...

To facilitate sustainable agricultural development, this study developed a model of rice farming sustainability in Bangladesh and determined the key interventions for policy implementation. Data for the study were collected through a household survey and also via in-depth informal discussion with stakeholders. By constructing a composite indicator, path analysis results showed that major contri...

Puddling doesn’t have much influence on rice yields. Many changes and innovations have contributed to the expanding use of resource conserving technologies in the country. One of the most important has been the development, testing and marketing of a low cost seed-cum-fertilizer drill which can establish crops with a minimum of soil disturbance, can take best advantage of residual soil moisture...
