Transforming Modern Agriculture Through Synthetic Genomics

In this talk, I will cover a few topics. First, I will describe some of the cutting-edge science that’s underway and how we are applying it within Synthetic Genomics, not specifically on specialty crops as defined, but on low-acreage or potential crops of the future. Many of these concepts will apply to specialty crops. We can think about progress in synthetic biology, much in the way that chil...

Wages And Employment In Traditional Agriculture

Wages in traditional agrarian societies are often observed to be above reservation wages even in the slack season when markets are in a state of excess labour supply. Models of noncooperative wage setting by landlords which explicitly take account of the costs of supervising hired labour and emphasize worker heterogeneity are developed and analyzed.

Current theories view learning as the acquisition of specific predictions1–4. Humans and animals learn to predict the outcomes of their behavior, including rewards. Learning depends on the extent to which these outcomes are different than predicted, being governed by the discrepancy or ‘error’ between outcome and prediction. Outcomes that affect learning in this way are termed ‘reinforcers’. Le...

Mobile Learning for Transforming Education and Improving Learning Outcomes on Agriculture in India

The teledensity in India is estimated at 74.50 per cent (January, 2014) with an increase in subscriber base each day. No other revolution in the mankind has transformed the communication scenario to the extent as done by the mobile technologies. India has the fastest growing telecom network in the world with its high population and development potential base. Education is at a critical juncture...
