Fodder Trees and Shrubs in Arid and Semi-arid Livestock Production Systems
Arid and semi-arid lands constitute a large proportion of available agricultural and rangeland in the world. These lands are characterised by low and unreliable rainfall, low land productivity, and low socioeconomic status of the inhabitants. Livestock plays a very significant role in their economies. Leguminous trees and shrubs, which dominate the natural rangelands, are often higher in crude ...
متن کاملIntelligent Ubiquitous Sensor Network for Agricultural and Livestock Farms
This paper designs and implements an intelligent ubiquitous sensor network architecture for agricultural and livestock farms which embrace a variety of sensors and create a great volume of sensor data records. For the sake of efficiently and accurately detecting the specific events out of the great amount of sensor data which may include not just erroneous terms but also correlative attributes,...

متن کاملAgricultural sustainability in the semi-arid Near East
Agriculture began in the eastern Mediterranean Levantine Corridor about 11000 years ago toward the end of the Younger Dryas when aridity had diminished wild food resources. During the subsequent Climatic Optimum, agricultural villages spread rapidly but subsequent climatic changes on centennial to millennial scales resulted in striking oscillations in settlement, especially in marginal areas. N...
متن کاملSustainable Small-Scale Agriculture in Semi-Arid Environments
For at least the past 8000 years, small-scale farmers in semi-arid environments have had to mitigate shortfalls in crop production due to variation in precipitation and stream flow. To reduce their vulnerability to a shortfall in their food supply, small-scale farmers developed short-term strategies, including storage and community-scale sharing, to mitigate inter-annual variation in crop produ...
