English | ISBN: 3031676785 | 2024 | 164 pages | EPUB, PDF | 29 MB + 13 MB
The success of modern-day agriculture lies in the digitalization of agricultural systems. The primary aim of this book is to provide a starting point to understand the fundamentals and design of digital agriculture systems with reference to the enabling technologies that deal with the production, improvement, and protection of crops/plants and livestock. The other associated objectives of this book include the explanation of the design and deployment of IoT-based digital agriculture systems in such a simple way that agriculture students understand straightforwardly. Therefore, this book is an effort to partially fill the gap associated with the understanding of the development and deployment of digital agriculture systems (including both precision and smart farming). We believe that with the provided details of enabling technologies and their usage in digital agriculture systems, agriculture students will find it easier to comprehend the designing of small-/large-scale IoT-based digital agriculture systems. This book provides insight into different technologies, architectures, and case studies that will ultimately help students to understand the concept of Digital Agriculture and its related applications. It enables students to realize the importance of open issues and future challenges of digital agriculture systems.

Free Download Krishna Prasad Vadrevu, "Remote Sensing of Agriculture and Land Cover/Land Use Changes in South and Southeast Asian Countries"
English | ISBN: 3030923649 | 2022 | 644 pages | PDF | 33 MB
This book sheds new light on the remote sensing of agriculture in South/Southeast Asian (S/SEA) countries. S/SEA countries are growing rapidly in terms of population, industrialization, and urbanization. One of the critical challenges in the region is food security. In S/SEA, although total food production and productivity have increased in previous decades, in recent years, the growth rate of food production has slowed down, mostly due to land use change, market forces and policy interventions. Further, the weather and climate systems in the region driven primarily by monsoon variability are resulting in droughts or flooding, impacting agricultural production. Therefore, monitoring crops, including agricultural land cover changes at regular intervals, is essential to predict and prepare for disruptions in the food supply in the S/SEA countries.

"I’m embarrassed to say I thought I knew anything substantial about Wisconsin agriculture or its history before I read this book. ‘Wisconsin Agriculture’ should be required reading in history classes from high school to the collegiate level. It makes me thankful that Jerry Apps has such a sense of commitment to Wisconsin’s agricultural heritage-and to getting the story right." -Pam Jahnke, Farm Director, Wisconsin Farm Report Radio

Free Download Adjustment and Agriculture in Africa: Farmers, the State, and the World Bank in Guinea By Jennifer Clapp
1997 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 0333666062 | PDF | 13 MB
With the adoption of a World Bank-sponsored structural adjustment programme in the mid-1980s, Guinea underwent a dramatic change in its economic and agricultural policies. The country’s experience over the past decade illustrates some of the most pressing problems encountered by African countries pursuing economic reform. This book analyses these difficulties by examining the adjustment experience in Guinea as it affected the country’s overall political economy and the agricultural sector in particular. It also places this case within the broader context of African adjustment.
