"As a result of the advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), many aspects of daily life have been transformed by smart digital technology. Advanced intelligent algorithms can provide powerful solutions to real world problems. Smart applications have become commonplace. All areas of life are being changed by smart tools developed to deal with complex issues challenging both the Earth and humanity. Artificial Intelligence and Smart Agriculture Applications presents the latest smart agriculture applications developed across the globe. It covers a broad array of solutions using data science and AI to attack problems facing agriculture worldwide. Highlights of the book include: Application of drones and sensors in advanced farming A cloud-computing model for implementing smart agriculture Conversational AI for farmer's advisory communications Intelligent fuzzy logic to predict global warming's effect on agriculture Machine learning algorithms for mapping soil macronutrient elements variability A smart IoT framework for soil fertility enhancement AI applications in pest management A model using Python for predicting rainfall The book examines not only present solutions but also potential future outcomes. It looks at the role of AI-based algorithms and the almost infinite combinations of variables for agricultural applications. Researchers, public and private sector representatives, agriculture scientists, and students can use this book to develop sustainable and solutions for smart agriculture. This book's findings are especially important as the planet is facing unprecedented environmental challenges from over-farming and climate change due to global warming"--

"This book examines conservation agriculture in India, discussing the current situation, levels of adoption, management practices and the future outlook of conservation agriculture in India, but also in other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. While conservation agriculture is proposed as an important means to combat climate change, improve crop productivity, food affordability and to protect the environment, the adoption of conservation agriculture in India, and south-east Asia more broadly, has been slow. This volume reflects on the current status of conservation agriculture in India, asking why adoption has been slow and putting forward strategies to improve uptake. Chapters cover the various aspects of crop management such as soil, water, nutrients, weeds, crop residues, machinery and energy, in a range of environments, including irrigated and rainfed regions. The impact of climate change and the economic considerations behind adoption of conservation agriculture are also discussed. The volume concludes by discussing the future outlook for conservation agriculture in India, in particular drawing out parallels with other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of conservation agriculture, sustainable agriculture, crop and soil management, and environmental and natural resource management more broadly"--

Qui sont les paysans alternatifs ? Comment résistent-ils au développement de cette « nouvelle raison du monde », le néolibéralisme, qui s’infiltre dans tous les interstices de la société ? En quoi le processus continu d’institutionnalisation de leurs pratiques leur confère-t-il une reconnaissance tout en fragilisant la portée critique de leur projet ? C’est à toutes ces questions que cet ouvrage tente de répondre en montrant, à partir d’une enquête historique et sociologique de l’évolution des réseaux alternatifs de développement agricole, que le processus de normalisation des alternatives au productivisme agricole réinterroge les rapports de domination dans l’agriculture.

Fungal Cell Factories for Sustainable Nanomaterials Productions and Agricultural Applications explores the mycogenic synthesis of many metal nanoparticles, including processing processes, environmental protection, and future perspectives. Nanomaterials, including silver, gold, palladium, copper, zinc, selenium, titanium dioxide, metal sulphide, cellulose, have been formed by major fungal genes, such as mushrooms, Fusarium, Trichoderma, endophytic fungi, and yeast, in addition to lichens. Understanding the exact process involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles and the effects of various factors on the reduction of metal ions can help to improve low-cost strategies for the synthesis and extraction of nanoparticles. Other sections focus on a new framework for the production of nano-antimicrobial, the use of myconanoparticles against plant diseases, post-harvest antibiotics, mycotoxin control and plant pests in addition to certain animal pathogens. Myconanomaterials are well developed with great potential and promise for advanced diagnostics, biosensors, precision farming and targeted smart delivery systems.
