Abstract Food security is a strategic element of the state’s economic policy, which allows to provide quality food not only to the population of the state, but also to carry out export activities. The growing trend of demand for ecological products all over the world allows Russia to develop the production of organic and ecologically clean products, occupying a stable segment in the world market. Organic agriculture is the most popular alternative to traditional agriculture in the world; the volume of the global organic food market has been increasing annually for a long time. An analytical review of the state of the world and national markets for organic agricultural products is presented in various aspects: agricultural land area, concentration of producers, international trade. The place of Russia in the world market of organic agricultural products has been determined. The key trends, problems and prospects for the development of organic agricultural production in Russia are highlighted. The presented data demonstrate the continuation of the positive trend in demand for organic products in developed countries. The Russian market is characterized by the following: high average annual growth rates of organic lands; increasing the share of land for the production of organic agricultural products; unstable number of producers; stabilization of the volume of the internal market for organic products at the level of 120 million euro; stabilization of the export volume of organic products at the level of 4 million euro. The production of organic products is advisable in local product markets, since the production of organic products is a product with high added value, increased requirements for certification of organic products and a narrow segment of consumers.

Full textAbstract:
India is one of the largest contributors to the world?s agricultural products. The majority of people?s livelihood in India depends on agriculture and its allied sec-tors. According to an economics survey in the agricultural year of 2019-2020, India is estimated to have produced around 292 million tonnes of food grain. The share of agriculture in India?s GDP is 19.9%. Even though India is an active participant in global agricultural trade, the total agricultural product export is only 2.5%. Agricultural produce is easily perishable and the quality gets affected which will then affect their market value. To meet the future food demands, agricultural produce must be able to store for a longer amount of time for round the year availability. The traditional food storage practices cannot satisfy that condition. These perishables need a proper cold supply chain to increase the shelf life. In this paper performance of a parabolic trough collector integrated vapor absorption refrigeration system was developed and studied. Renewable integrated cold storage would open door to the sustainable energy future.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture plays a significant role in economic development of underdeveloped regions. Multiple factors influence the performance of agricultural sector but a few of these have a strong bearing on its growth. This study develops a growth diagnostics framework for agricultural sector in Bihar, located in eastern India, to identify the most binding constraints. The study results show that poor functioning of agricultural markets and low-level of crop diversification are the important reasons for low agricultural growth in Bihar. Rise in price instability of agricultural produces indicates a weak price transmission across the markets even after repealing the Agricultural Produce Market Committee Act. Poor market linkages and non-functioning producer collectives at village-level affect the farmers’ motivation for undertaking crop diversification. Hence, policy suggestions to overcome these binding constraints include the state provisioning of basic market infrastructure to attract private investment in agricultural marketing, strengthening the Farmer Producer Organisations, and framing a comprehensive policy on crop diversification.

The paper was created to assess the values and trends for changes in prices of basic agricultural products (produce) and food products on domestic markets that affect the condition of agriculture and agricultural producers. The relationships were evaluated between retail prices of food and prices of agricultural produce, i.e. price scissors, the author studied the strength of impact of procurement prices on retail prices of food (the degree of correlation between prices received by farm producers and prices paid by food consumers), and defined the prevailing directions of change. It was determined through the analysis that the share of the value of agricultural produce in retail prices of an average food basket is decreasing, and the higher degree of processing of produce deepens the disproportion (the gap) between the producer's prices and retail prices paid by consumers. These tendencies, negative for agricultural producers, were supported by analysis of rates of changes of farm produce prices and retail food prices. It was determined on the basis of the trending function that the variations of current prices for all the studied types of farm produce and food products exhibited a long-term increasing tendency, accompanied by seasonal and economic fluctuations. However, the increases of final product prices were in most cases substantially higher than the increases of raw material necessary for its production.

Full textAbstract:
Egypt is predominantly known for its agriculture sector, which dates back to the time of the Pharaohs. During this era, agriculture was the most significant sector in the country. Therefore, any country with resources for agriculture should use them to develop this sector, increase production, and expand agricultural spaces. Such efforts will lead to increased economic growth and exports. Furthermore, prioritizing agriculture will help meet the needs of the people and reduce the nation’s reliance on imports. Therefore, Egypt should benefit from their resources to improve their agriculture sector. For example, Egypt produces oranges in large quantities that there is huge surplus to export all over the world. Although Egypt has not fully exploited all its agricultural resources and land to produce oranges and other agricultural products, there is great potential for growth. If Egypt were to fully utilize its resources and improve its agricultural practices, it could rank higher in the international market for agricultural exports. Such efforts would undoubtedly contribute to Egypt’s economic growth and development. Therefore, in this paper we will discuss the results of the consumption and production of oranges in Egypt to see if there is shortage or surplus and if oranges’ market is elastic or inelastic, and at the end see if Egypt could produce more or not.

India is a country where almost 70% population is directly or indirectly engaged in agriculture activities, making it a global powerhouse in agriculture. There are so many agricultural revolutions that have helped India become the world’s leading agricultural producer. The Indian government has encouraged the farmers with so many schemes and subsidies to help the farmers so that they can get financial assistance along with other agricultural innovative ideas. Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) has played a major role in training, sharing innovative ideas, technology transfer to farmers which has helped the farmers to produce more agricultural products. There are several agricultural revolutions which have been followed in different fields of agriculture for the productions of grains, milk, meat, eggs, oilseeds, fertilizers, etc.

Full textAbstract:
The selling of fruits and vegetables in the street is a common phenomenon in developing countries due to high levels of unemployment. In South Africa, street vending of fruits and vegetables brings valuable income to many impoverished households, thereby improving the livelihoods of people who are not formally employed. The Agricultural Product Standards Act No. 119 of 1990 of South Africa provides for the standardisation of quality norms for agricultural produce. Enforcing the Agricultural Product Standards Act is essential to ensure that agricultural produce sold in the streets is regulated and controlled so it is safe throughout the supply chain from the farm to the vending site. The purpose of this research was to investigate quality compliance of fresh fruits and vegetables sold by street vendors in the Tshwane metropolis, South Africa. A cross-sectional study survey was conducted in which stratified random sampling was used to sample 200 fresh fruit and vegetable vendors. Their knowledge of the requirements of the Agricultural Product Standards Act of South Africa was analysed. The compliance of their produce with quality regulations and the level of monitoring by authorities were also evaluated. Most respondents (89%) did not know about the Act. Only a small majority of fruit (51.5%) and vegetable (56%) retailers indicated that their agricultural products had been monitored. A large majority of fruits (86% to 99.8%) and vegetables (85.4% to 97.5%) met all the quality requirements in the Act. In general, a fair proportion of fruits (58%) and vegetables (65%) complied with the requirements of the Act. There was a significant positive correlation (p≤0.05) between monitoring by officials and the level of compliance. Only a small percentage of fresh fruits and vegetables vending sites are monitored by authorities. This paper is of interest to stakeholders in street vending of agricultural food produce because it raises awareness of areas of non-compliance and a need for effective compliance. Awareness and adequate enforcement can translate into selling and consuming agricultural high quality and safe food produce on the streets of Tshwane metropolis. Key words: agriculture, produce, fruits, vegetable, safety, quality, monitoring, inspection

Abstract Due to the rising demand for food and feed, agricultural waste increases, while plastic pollution increases due to hostile human activities. The sustainable way to utilize agricultural waste and promote the bioeconomy concept is to produce an alternative product of plastic, i.e., ‘bioplastic’. This paper used different keywords to perform the bibliometric analysis of the scientific publication related to bioplastic, agricultural waste, and sustainability. Remarkably, results show the increasing research interest in bioplastic with the key developing trends in sustainable bioplastic production, agriculture waste management, biopolymer, and biological processes. The identified developing trends can be used for further research to create a sustainable agricultural sector and produce higher added-value products. Moreover, this study discovered that the agro-biopolymer area needs more focus on sustainable development considering the economic, social, and environmental dimensions.

This study dwelt on the strategies for agricultural produce exports by Nigerian firms. The specific objective was to identify the most significant and commonly adopted strategies for agricultural produce exports by Nigerian exporting firms. Survey research method was used for the study with structured questionnaire used for data collection. The data gathered was analyzed using Factor Analysis. Findings show that 13 out of 21 components of 5 factors such as product adaptation, pricing adaptation, promotion adaptation, distribution adaptation and other related exporting strategies were the most significant and commonly adopted strategies for exporting agricultural produce by Nigerian export firms. These other related strategies include market scope, technology strength, brand name, export experience, retention capacity, face-to-face marketing, product service quality, market position, competitive pricing; export marketing attitude, channel development, policy, and size of the exporting firm. It was concluded that exporting agricultural produce from Nigeria can only be successfully done if strategies like product adaptation strategies; pricing adaptation; promotional adaptation, distribution adaptation and other related exporting strategies are adopted. To the prospective exporting firms and individuals, it is recommended that they plan their exports around these strategies to enhance success in the export market.

Agricultural lignocellulosic biomass is regarded as an important source of biofuels, especially bioethanol and biohydrogen. The following aspects have been studied: the effect of type of substrate used in production of cellulolytic enzymes, the activity of several enzymatic cocktails used to hydrolyse three types of agricultural biomass and the influence of provenience of enzymatic cocktails on sugars yields in the hydrolysis process. Fungi investigated in this study (T. longibrachiatum DSM 769) release higher titter of enzymes when raw, unpretreated agriculture residual biomass is used as substrate and inducer for biosynthesis of cellulolytic enzymes. Cellulolytic enzymes produced in culture media containing a certain type of agricultural lignocellulosic biomass as substrate, can be used in hydrolysis of other types of agricultural lignocellulosic biomass with similar sugar yields. Cellulases produced in culture media containing purified crystalline cellulose as substrate does not contain all necessary types of enzymes to hydrolyze lignocellulosic complex from agricultural biomass to produce high yields of sugars. On-site production of cellulases can be an effective approach biorefinery of lignocellulose to produce biofuels or other biochemicals by fermentation.

Full textAbstract:
India's foundation is its agriculture. With over 60% of the workforce employed and producing over 18% of the nation's GDP, it is a vital sector of the Indian economy. Although there are many ways in which we can use technology to increase product production, a farmer can only profit if he is able to sell his crops. Three laws have been passed by the Indian government to encourage the export of agricultural products across the nation. But today, we witness farmers all over the nation fighting against these regulations to protect their rights. Farmers worry that big merchants will exploit them as puppets and undercut the price at which they sell their goods. After doing a thorough analysis of the situation, we developed the concept of creating an agricultural produce application that facilitates direct communication between farmers and retailers, allows for product reviews and crop yielding rate prediction, and predicts the price of agricultural produce based on quantity produced and previous years' sales rates. Unpredictable rains, unexpected temperature decreases, and heat waves have all been brought on by the shifting climate, and the ecosystem has suffered significant harm. Thankfully, machine learning has produced useful methods for tackling international problems, such as agriculture. These climate change-related agricultural issues can be resolved by using various machine learning methods. The purpose of this piece is to Create a method to identify crop diseases and suggest crops. For both objectives, publicly accessible datasets were utilized. Regarding the crop recommendation system, feature extraction was done, and a variety of machine learning methods were used to train the dataset, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and Multilayer Perceptron. 99.30% accuracy was attained via the random forest algorithm.CNN architectures such as ResNet50, and EfficientNetV2 were trained and compared for the plant disease identification system. EfficientNetV2 outperformed the rest, with a high accuracy of 96.08%.

Economic development is characterised by the fact that the share of agriculture tends to decrease both in terms of resources used and domestic product generated. This does not mean, however, that the role of agriculture in the economic development diminishes. It can be considered a paradox that the lower the share of agriculture in the national economy, the greater its role, as it provides raw materials for the production of goods, especially food, which meet the needs of the ever-growing community. The main aim of the presented study is to measure and evaluate changes in agricultural produce procurement in Poland in the years 2010-2016. The following research hypothesis is put forward in the study: Changes in the procurement volume had a much greater impact on the procurement value of selected agricultural produce in Poland in the period considered than changes in the level of transaction prices. In the paper, a comparative analysis of procurement of crop and animal products was conducted. The research process was based primarily on data derived from official statistics obtained from the Central Statistical Office and the Eurostat database regarding procurement of agricultural produce carried out by commercial entities and processing plants. This information is presented in qualitative and quantitative terms for total agriculture, as well as for individual voivodeships.

The purpose of this research is to reduce waste or waste that is really needed at this time whether it is used for other alternative sources that are environmentally friendly, so that waste or waste from agricultural activities does not continue to increase, organic fertilizer and briquettes or charcoal can be used. In this study using the method of literature review from various international journals. The journal used starts from the past 10 years, namely 2012-2022 and searches for it via Google Scolar. Keywords used when searching journals on Google Scolar such as "agricultural waste processing", "briquette management", and "agricultural waste". Garbage is the remains of human activities that are not reused but can produce a useful new product. There are various types of waste or waste, one of which is agricultural waste which can produce products that are beneficial to the environment or environmentally friendly. Agricultural waste is the part of agricultural plants from the top or shoots to the remaining stems after harvesting activities. Utilization of agricultural waste is very useful for humans, the environment, and other living things. One of the uses of this agricultural waste is as briquettes which are a new alternative source that is environmentally friendly because it comes from various plant residues produced during harvesting activities. Most of the agricultural waste comes from rice. So, the existence of agricultural waste can be used as a new alternative source that is environmentally friendly and inexpensive.

Agricultural activity is largely different from other activities that the entities perform in order to achieve profit. Unlike other business entities, agricultural produce is significantly dependent on natural climatic conditions, and therefore a particular specialization of agricultural produce depends on geographic location. Agricultural producers use every form of business organization, from small farms to large publicly held corporations. Although most entrepreneurs working in agriculture are small and medium enterprises, the specifics of agriculture are significantly reflected in the financial reporting intended primarily for large corporations traded on the capital markets. Aim of this paper is to review the possibilities of implementation of the provisions relating to agriculture in the frame of IFRS for SMEs into practice of entities concerned whose object is agricultural production and to recommend appropriate application in practice. There are designed specific procedures of recording in relation to the nature of biological assets and agricultural produce and ways of measurement in this paper. The nature of biological assets is considered as distinguishing criterion (consumable assets, bearer assets and consumable assets with long production cycle).

Composting is an ecological method of recycling organic waste. It presents an effective solution to reduce the large volume of agricultural waste and provides an organic fertilizer and soil amendment. However, its implementation remains limited, especially in Morocco. The vast majority of farmers are unaware of the effectiveness of compost, and it is often considered as an inefficient product compared with chemical fertilizers. In order to develop a local marketing strategy for compost, this study aims to identify the perceptions and willingness of farmers to produce and use compost in agriculture, and to assess the factors shaping these perceptions and willingness, including socio-economic, agricultural and individual factors. The case of Morocco is investigated, where the vast majority of farmers practice inappropriate disposal of agricultural waste and excessive use of agro-chemicals. Data are collected using a standard questionnaire and face-to-face interviews with 350 farmers during their visit to the international agricultural exhibition in Morocco. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are used for data analysis. The results showed a high level (80%) of acceptance by farmers of the production and use of compost. Farmers are also very willing to produce and use compost in agriculture. All the socio-economic, individual and agricultural factors, except gender, length of experience and cultivated area, had a highly significant influence on farmers’ perception and willingness to produce compost (p < 0.005). The positive perceptions of farmers and the high level of willingness to produce compost imply that the composting of organic waste should be encouraged by our local authorities. The production of compost will thus contribute to environmental sustainability and to the promotion of the ecological management of agricultural waste meeting the requirements of a circular economy.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture contributes to large export earnings for many countries and provides food all over the world. However, most agricultural products need some post-harvest processing, such as drying, to extend their shelf life while still maintaining their respective nutrient quality. One popular post-harvest processing method is drying using solar energy. It is a type of renewable energy that is abundant and free. Conventional dryers use grid electricity and can be expensive to operate. Consequently, there is a growing need for cost-effective solar-powered agricultural dryers that is reasonable for smaller-scale farmers. Although current solar dryers are still not on par with modern electricity-powered dryers, solar dryers have lower running costs and are sustainable and able to generate electricity. They can also be used practically anywhere with abundant solar energy. As numerous solar drying technologies have been proposed over the past decade, it is necessary to assess the current state of solar drying technology in the agricultural sector to identify current advancements and potential research gaps. In this paper, a review of existing solar dryers mechanism and the state of the art of solar drying technology research for agricultural products is presented.

Full textAbstract:
Digital agriculture has increasingly gained strength in the countryside, as it is considered a byproduct of growing globalization. As the search for production optimization, cost reduction, and productivity increase continues, these tools become the great allies of the producer in the final agricultural production process.Therefore, agricultural operations must also follow this evolution in the development of technological improvements, which carry positive aspects for large-scale production. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of seeders-fertilizers with different input distribution mechanisms. Since one of the biggest expenses in the production process is the acquisition of seeds and fertilizer, any savings in production costs become a significant advantage for the producer, who will have a greater net income. The experimental design used to evaluate the data followed the premises of Statistical Process Control (SPC), and the results were assessed using individual value control charts. It was concluded that the production process was negatively affected by the performance of the seeders-fertilizers, as in one area, more seeds were falling than necessary, increasing the cost per hectare and not adhering to the principles of cost minimization and profit maximization. Conversely, in the second area evaluated, the machinery's performance resulted in fewer seeds being deposited than planned. Consequently, according to the results, the producer lost the opportunity to produce 5.85 sc/ha without reducing costs in the operation, as the seeder simply did not deposit the seeds, thereby reducing the gain per area, which could have been more productive, increasing final profitability.

Agriculture is one of the most crucial sectors of the Indian economy. Growth and development of agriculture and allied sectors directly affect the well-being of people at large, rural prosperity, and employment opportunities, and theyit forms an important resource base for many agricultural- based industries. Following independence, agricultural production in India has improved significantly. But there is a deficiency in the agricultural marketing framework in India. The system of agricultural marketing in India has a long path-way between the producer and the ultimate consumer of agricultural produce (Gopal Naik et al. 2002:,Basu 2020). To shorten this path, the government of India broughtings digitalization in agricultural marketing in April 2016 through E-NAM (Electronic- National Agriculture Market) to bring the marketing of agricultural commodities to a digital form. All this requires a great revolution in agricultural extension services for different stakeholders. The current study evaluates the various challenges and opportunities in India through E-NAM for different stakeholders. The current study is descriptive and based on secondary data collected from websites, newspapers and journals.

There are three main global challenges faced in all fields, namely complexity, change and increasing problems. A monodisciplinary approach with a single technology approach is no longer relevant to face these conditions. Innovation, integration and sustainability are the keys to face these three challenges, especially towards zero carbon emission energy that is operational. To produce bioethanol as a zero carbon emission energy source, the problem is that a large amount of thermal energy is required and a lot of "waste" is produced in the production process. It also requires the right raw materials that do not compete with food. All of these problems with conventional approaches have not been able to produce production costs (HPP) that compete with other renewable energy sources, let alone with fossil energy. The proposed innovation is an integrative innovation that will produce bioethanol as energy that is not only zero emission but negative emission with low HHP. This can be achieved through integrative synergy of biochar production with appropriate technology researched so far that produces large surplus energy and sorghum farming as raw material. The biochar product produced as a co-product is a multi-functional product of high economic value. If part of the biochar is utilized in agriculture, it not only increases the yield of therapeutic agriculture as a stable carbon sequestration in the soil. Sweet sorghum is an agricultural crop that has high adaptation to natural conditions with high seed and biomass production. Sorghum is ideal as a feedstock for ethanol and food production. Integrating the three with the right innovation will produce bioethanol with negative carbon emissions and co-products with low COGS. Sorghum juice is used as a first generation feedstock (FGR) and its bagasse as a second generation source (SGR). This integration involves the utilization of juice extraction by expeller technique and pretreatment of a combination of mechanical, steam explosion and organosolv methods that do not produce hazardous waste. The entire process is designed with the concept of maximum closed loop and minimum input. The system is open for various other integrations and developments in the future to support the concept of green economy.

To produce bioethanol as a zero carbon emission energy source, the problem is that a large amount of thermal energy is required and a lot of "waste" is produced in the production process. It also requires the right raw materials that do not compete with food. All of these problems with conventional approaches have not been able to produce production costs (HPP) that compete with other renewable energy sources, let alone with fossil energy. The proposed innovation is an integrative innovation that will produce bioethanol as energy that is not only zero emission but negative emission with low HHP. This can be achieved through integrative synergy of biochar production with appropriate technology researched so far that produces large surplus energy and sorghum farming as raw material. The biochar product produced as a co-product is a multi-functional product of high economic value. If part of the biochar is utilized in agriculture, it not only increases the yield of therapeutic agriculture as a stable carbon sequestration in the soil. Sweet sorghum is an agricultural crop that has high adaptation to natural conditions with high seed and biomass production. Sorghum is ideal as a feedstock for ethanol and food production. Integrating the three with the right innovation will produce bioethanol with negative carbon emissions and co-products with low COGS. Sorghum juice is used as a first generation feedstock (FGR) and its bagasse as a second generation source (SGR). This integration involves the utilization of juice extraction by expeller technique and pretreatment of a combination of mechanical, steam explosion and organosolv methods that do not produce hazardous waste. The entire process is designed with the concept of maximum closed loop and minimum input. The system is open for various other integrations and developments in the future to support the concept of green economy.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture is a multifarious interface between plants and associated microorganisms. In contemporary agriculture, emphasis is being given to environmentally friendly approaches, particularly in developing countries, to enhance sustainability of the system with the least negative effects on produce quality and quantity. Modern agricultural practices such as extensive tillage, the use of harmful agrochemicals, mono-cropping, etc. have been found to influence soil microbial community structure and soil sustainability. On the other hand, the question of feeding the ever-growing global population while ensuring system sustainability largely remains unanswered. Agriculturally important microorganisms are envisaged to play important roles in various measures to raise a healthy and remunerative crop, including integrated nutrient management, as well as disease and pest management to cut down agrochemicals without compromising the agricultural production. These beneficial microorganisms seem to have every potential to provide an alternative opportunity to overcome the ill effects of various components of traditional agriculture being practiced by and large. Despite an increased awareness of the importance of organically produced food, farmers in developing countries still tend to apply inorganic chemical fertilizers and toxic chemical pesticides beyond the recommended doses. Nutrient uptake enhancement, biocontrol of pests and diseases using microbial inoculants may replace/reduce agrochemicals in agricultural production system. The present review aims to examine and discuss the shift in microbial population structure due to current agricultural practices and focuses on the development of a sustainable agricultural system employing the tremendous untapped potential of the microbial world.

More than 50,000 tons of charcoals are used annually in Iran, which will increase to 100,000 tons per year, taking into account the amount of charcoal exported to the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. In order to produce the charcoal needed by the country in the traditional way, more than 300,000 tons of wood are cut and collected from the trunks and branches of trees every year, which will lead to the destruction of the country's forests and green resources. Agricultural by-products, especially rice, cocoa, rubber, pineapple and sugarcane, are produced in large quantities all over the world. Asia alone produces 4.4 billion tons of solid waste annually. The amount of agricultural solid waste produced in Ahvaz city is 2,500,000 tons, almost all of this amount is related to sugarcane cultivation and industries that exist in this province. Wood waste, sugar cane and grass are the most prominent sources of biomass energy and if managed properly, they can be used as a raw material to produce charcoal and create renewable and sustainable energy. The general purpose of this article is to investigate different methods of producing compressed coal from agricultural waste and the factors affecting its production

Life cycle assessment is a technique to assess potential environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product, process or service. This paper introduces life cycle assessment into the full process of agricultural circular economy. There are increasing environmental risks associated with agricultural circular economy; however, no appropriate assessment and analysis techniques on environmental impact are available. Due to the lack of special life cycle assessment database and available methodology in agricultural circular economy, we proposed a life cycle assessment technical framework with emphasis on problems associated with traditional agricultural circular economy life cycle assessment. This paper is aimed to produce reliable information on the environmental impact assessment for agriculture policy-makers, producers and consumers to help them choose sustainable development agricultural products and processes.

The ability of the Canadian agriculture sector to make better decisions and manage its operations more competitively in the long term is only as good as the information available to inform decision-making. At all levels of Government, a reliable flow of information between scientists, practitioners, policy-makers, and commodity groups is critical for developing and supporting agricultural policies and programs. Given the vastness and complexity of Canada’s agricultural regions, space-based remote sensing is one of the most reliable approaches to get detailed information describing the evolving state of the country’s environment. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)—the Canadian federal department responsible for agriculture—produces the Annual Space-Based Crop Inventory (ACI) maps for Canada. These maps are valuable operational space-based remote sensing products which cover the agricultural land use and non-agricultural land cover found within Canada’s agricultural extent. Developing and implementing novel methods for improving these products are an ongoing priority of AAFC. Consequently, it is beneficial to implement advanced machine learning and big data processing methods along with open-access satellite imagery to effectively produce accurate ACI maps. In this study, for the first time, the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud computing platform was used along with an Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) algorithm and Sentinel-1, -2 images to produce an object-based ACI map for 2018. Furthermore, different limitations of the proposed method were discussed, and several suggestions were provided for future studies. The Overall Accuracy (OA) and Kappa Coefficient (KC) of the final 2018 ACI map using the proposed GEE cloud method were 77% and 0.74, respectively. Moreover, the average Producer Accuracy (PA) and User Accuracy (UA) for the 17 cropland classes were 79% and 77%, respectively. Although these levels of accuracies were slightly lower than those of the AAFC’s ACI map, this study demonstrated that the proposed cloud computing method should be investigated further because it was more efficient in terms of cost, time, computation, and automation.

In order to alleviate the potential damage from climate change and fulfil the requirements contracted in the Paris Agreement (COP 24), China has promulgated the mandatory regulation on ethanol-blend gasoline to reduce current levels of CO2 emissions. Since large-scale bioenergy development involves various aspects such as feedstock selection (energy crops, crop wastes), technology alternatives (conventional and cellulosic ethanol, pyrolysis), government subsidy (land use, energy crop subsidy) and carbon trade mechanism, an analysis that integrates economic, environmental, and social effects is necessary to explore the optimal biofuel strategy and social effects. This study proposes a price endogenous, partial equilibrium mathematical programming model to investigate how the selection of bioenergy crops and bioenergy technologies influences the amount of net bioenergy production, carbon sequestration, government subsidies, and cultivation patterns. We show that the conjunctive use of agricultural wastes can be an effective addition to current biofuel production. The results also indicate that at high gasoline and emissions prices, more land used for the energy crop program results in a significant change in government expenditure. In addition, net emissions reduction and emissions offset efficiency can vary substantially when different bioenergy techniques are adopted.

The main livelihood of the majoritarian population here is through farming, who dwell in villages and feed the whole country. Food is one of the necessities of a human being, which the framers fulfill. However, they fail to get a proper price of the stock they sell in the market. Hence, they are deprived of getting profits for their stock. APMLOP helps them in getting a proper price for their stock and even get profit for their efforts. This paper aims to increase farm income in an efficient marketing system that controls the number of mediators in the marketing process and ensures maximum income for farmers. In this approach, the farmers directly deal with concerned retailers not efficient also well not at marketing system. Definitely selling the farm crops across the country and even outside the country this well indirectly help to increase the demand of the product and provide higher income to farmers also the growth of agro-based industries. By adopting new technology, develop online agriculture market web application. This web application acts as a platform for moving farmer products from the farms directly to the industry or wholesale retailers.

This article reviews how agricultural facilities can harvest about two crops per year. The controlled environment agriculture (CEA) facility is a hydroponic project that began operating in July 1999. It uses computer software to control lighting, environmental conditions, nutrient balance, water pH, and other parameters to create optimal lettuce-growing conditions. The agricultural facility’s story began 10 years ago, when a graduate student at Cornell University in Ithaca found that optimizing environmental conditions enabled him to grow seedlings for nurseries in 16 days, rather than the 35 days required by conventional agricultural nurseries. NYSERDA has conducted studies examining the total energy package of conventional agriculture, from producing seed to transporting vegetables to market, and found that northeastern controlled environment facilities will use less energy than shipping produce from the West Coast or South America. Growers also can tout the fact that their produce is grown without herbicides or pesticides, a major marketing advantage to attract consumers seeking organically grown produce.

As a result of the ongoing development and advancement of green agriculture in China, consumers have benefited in numerous ways from green agricultural products. Consumers are increasingly attempting to purchase green agricultural products. However, there are still some problems in relation to green agricultural products, such as the inability of agricultural co-operatives to meet consumers’ demands due to the low return on investment of green agricultural products. To solve the above problems, this paper constructs an evolutionary game model involving the government, agricultural co-operatives, and consumers. In addition, simulation experiments were conducted to simulate and analyze the stakeholders’ strategic decisions in different situations. The results of this study show that government subsidies are effective in promoting the production of green agricultural products by agricultural cooperatives. The yield of green agricultural products, the degree of greenness of agricultural products, and the additional branding benefits of government subsidies for agricultural cooperatives can significantly influence the willingness of agricultural cooperatives to produce green agricultural products and the willingness of consumers to consume green agricultural products. Finally, some suggestions are given to solve the above problems. The findings of this study can provide a valuable reference for government subsidy strategy makers and valuable insights into the sustainable development of the green produce industry.

This paper evaluates the eco-efficiency performance of agriculture at the sector level using the joint application of life cycle assessment (LCA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) techniques. The research has been performed for the agricultural production of the 28 member states of the European Union (the EU-28). The foundation for the calculation of the eco-efficiency performance was a statistically selected set of impact categories derived from the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase as input values and economic indicators, with the gross domestic product (GDP) of their agriculture as the output value. The results of the analysis showed that the agricultural sectors of 10 member states of the European Union (i.e., Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden) are relatively eco-efficient. The remaining 18 member states of the EU-28 have eco-inefficient agricultural sectors, though to a varying extent. This means that their agricultural sectors consume too many natural resources (in particular, energy), use too much fertilizer, and produce considerable amounts of airborne emissions in relation to the current level of GDP per hectare. These insights into the eco-efficiency performance of agriculture in the EU-28 may contribute to the adoption of better management techniques and more effective agricultural policies.
