Information seeking behaviour is an essential component in designing and developing of need based information centers for meeting the information requirements of users. The study undertaken is an output of doctorate research in the field of agricultural sciences scanned in Indian context. The study covers various facets of information seeking behaviour of agricultural scientists and their conce...

In order to guarantee high-quality agricultural products and food safety, efforts must be made to manage and maintain healthy agricultural environments under the myriad of risks that they face. Three central system components of sustainable agricultural management schemes are real-time monitoring, decision-making, and remote access. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems are a ...

A Research Data Alliance (RDA) Interest Group has formed around a community of scientists and researchers who wish to make agricultural data, information, and knowledge more accessible. The objective of the Agricultural Data Interest Group is to get together active representatives of the major international institutions that work on agricultural research and innovation worldwide, in order to ad...

The world population is expected to reach 9.1 billion by year 2050 says FAO (World Food and Agriculture Organization) and to feed this population food production should be increased by at least 70%. Developing countries have to double their food production. The traditional methods of farming and ever decreasing farm labour availability is making agriculture economically unviable and inefficient...

Agricultural data have a major role in the planning and success of rural development activities. Agriculturalists, planners, policy makers, government officials, farmers and researchers require relevant information to trigger decision making processes. This paper presents our approach towards extracting named entities from real-world agricultural data from different areas of agriculture using C...

India is a country where agriculture is the backbone of economy. It is need of hour to estimate agricultural production based upon its sown area, which deems to be not achievable manually every year. The underlying reason behind is the existing facilities and mechanism is inadequate to achieve the same. However, with the advent of state of the art technologies in Remote Sensing and GIS, it is q...

The aim of this research was to investigate this research was to investigate the relationship between Agricultural Information System (AIS) members' viewpoint towards organic products and their environmental in central District of Boyer- Ahmad County. The research population included researchers, extension agents and contact farmers of the study area and based on this population numbers, the sa...

We review the current state of agricultural systems science, focusing in particular on the capabilities and limitations of agricultural systems models. We discuss the state of models relative to five different Use Cases spanning field, farm, landscape, regional, and global spatial scales and engaging questions in past, current, and future time periods. Contributions from multiple disciplines ha...

The agINFRA project aims to provide the agricultural research community with e-infrastructure and services for open data access, sharing and re-use. This paper introduces the project’s objectives and context, technical elements as well as the envisaged range of data resources. Furthermore opportunities for participation are highlighted. 1 Towards global sharing of agricultural research results ...
