The needs and necessities of an agro automation system in large scale applications for monitoring various parameters are on a rise. The overview of all core challenges faced by the farmers can highly be overcome with the proposed 'IoT based Agro Automation System using Machine Learning Algorithms' which is established through multiple sensor fusion with the affirmation of results in a hybrid ap...

The paper examines the spatial dimension of agricultural resources mobilization through agro-based industrial infrastructure in Haryana. In order to analysis the agricultural produce mobilization through related industries, a co-efficient of correlation between five major crop-production and related number of agro-based industries has been worked out. The study is based on secondary sources of ...

Agro-biodiversity is the result of natural and human selection processes involving animal, plant, and micro-organisms in agricultural systems, and is important for determining the socioeconomic and ecological benefits that can be derived from the systems [1]. The trend of developing monoculture agricultural systems for the sake of high productivity and economic return, however, has led agro-bio...

This paper will answer the question raised by the ongoing debate on the conditions of Alternative Agro-Food Networks (AAFN) strengthened in the specific context of different European countries. Modern, sustainable local food systems are built on the basis of social networks which linked different actors into a coherent, horizontal web. Producers, processors and consumers are bonded by a common...

Maize samples were collected during a survey in three agro-ecological zones in Nigeria to determine the distribution and aflatoxin-producing potential of members of Aspergillus section Flavi. The three agro-ecological zones were, Derived Savannah (DS) and Southern Guinea Savannah (SGS) in the humid south and North Guinea Savannah (NGS) in the drier north. Across agro-ecological zones, Aspergill...

Agricultural transformation in Poland and Bulgaria, both characterized by unique farm structures compared to the old EU, has been a policy challenge for Common Policy (CAP) even before integration. Eurostat Comtrade data over 2000 2016/2017 have used analyse agricultural restructuring at level, relating it growth trends agro-processing units eventually competitiveness exports trade specializati...
