The increasing cost of oil and fertilizers, and the deterioration of the climate and glob...

The core of many changes towards a more sustainable agriculture is the individual decision-maker. The decisions of each farmer have impacts on sustainability and are made in a complex world of contradictious interests and values. Agricultural decision support systems (AgriDSS) will be a major contributor in the realization of a viable farm economy with less negative environmental impact, but it...

Waterlogging is an increasingly important issue in irrigated agriculture that has a detrimental impact on crop productivity. The above-ground effect of waterlogging crops hard to distinguish from water deficit stress with remote sensing, as responses such stomatal closure and leaf wilting occur both situations. Currently, source not considered sensing-based evaporation algorithms this may there...

The demand for clean energy is a key global issue requiring ideas to be implemented through local action. This particularly important in Poland’s transition, since the country produces mainly from conventional sources, i.e., coal, gas, and crude oil. Adverse climate change caused by high emissions of economy based on combustion hydrocarbons as well growing public awareness have made it necessar...

Abstract— The size and complexity of deep neural networks used in AI applications continue to grow exponentially, significantly increasing energy consumption for training inference by these models. We introduce an open-source package eco2AI help data scientists researchers track the equivalent CO 2 emissions their models a straightforward way. In we focus on accurate tracking regional accountin...

World population has already exceeded 6.5 billion, out of which about 850 million (13 percent) are undernourished. With the current growth rate, the world community faces even a greater challenge of hunger and food security as the estimated the population will catch 9 billion by the year 2050 with doubled needs for food. At the same time, preservation of biodiversity, stopping deforestation and...
