Abstract:
The resources necessary for food production have shown a disquieting deterioration during the last three decades. Modern intensive agriculture has an adverse effect not only on the physical environment but also on human health. On the other hand, 'Sustainable Agricultural Systems', which has gained importance in recent years, deals with both the protection of natural resources and the increase in plant production. In these systems, production is ensured by directing the resources obtained from the system cycle, not the chemicals and inputs that harm human, plant and environmental health, and quality healthy products are obtained. In 'Organic Farming', which is one of the sustainable agricultural systems, it is aimed to cause the least damage to the environment by producing healthy foods without disturbing the natural balance. The risk of pollution is less because less economic input is used in these and similar protected sustainable agricultural systems. While the inputs used in agricultural production stage increase the productivity of the product produced per unit area and make it more resistant to diseases and pests, they can have negative effects on the living things in the immediate vicinity and the ecosystem. While the development of agriculture in a region positively affects the natural life, oxygen production and climate in the region, inorganic nitrate pollution, pesticide pollution and salinity problems can be listed as the negative effects of agriculture on the environment, especially in regions where intensive agriculture is practiced. Also, agricultural water use, application of fertilizers and pesticides may negatively affect the water courses, deforestation, and crop and animal raising may result in greenhouse gas emissions, unsuitable agricultural practices may have detrimental impacts on soil, genetic resources and biodiversity. In order to ensure sustainability in agriculture, by abandoning the agricultural production methods based on excessive chemical pesticides and fertilizers that the producers have applied until now; an economical fertilization, preserving the organic matter ratio of the soil by preventing stubble fires, reduced tillage, combating diseases, pests and weeds in integration with a suitable crop rotation are of great importance.

Abstract:
Agriculture, farming or animal husbandry is a vital occupation, since the history of mankind. The name agriculture represents all entities that came under the linear sequence of links of food chain for human beings. India is in an agricultural era, which is earning fame to it. In the fast moving world, agriculture should also run in the same pace along with the existing nature. This paper analyses the different methodologies for environment friendly precision agriculture. It also comparesthevariousmethodsavailablefortheusageofmoderntoolsandtechniquesinagriculture in the digital world. It discusses an insight to dwell into the different techniques for intelligent farming in the digital world. It acts as a decision support system for the farmers to perform environment friendly smartarming.

Abstract:
Since the day humans settled down, they have made an effort to transform nature in line with their own wishes and needs. The damage caused to nature beginning with the industrial revolution has been ignored for a long time. The prevailing understanding of development was that nature overcame this situation by cleansing itself. However, it is obvious that the pollution created in nature does not disappear on its own, as it is thought. The agricultural production process, which is considered the most “innocent”, also contributes negatively to environmental pollution. Especially fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides used in industrial agriculture cause serious damage to the environment. The study aims to deal with the duality of the environmental pollution caused by agriculture and the effects of environmental pollution in agriculture. Sustainable agriculture practices may reduce environmental pollution and enable a sustainable development in terms of agriculture.

Abstract:
By far the most significant recent developments in the field of agriculture stem from the Uruguay Round concluded in Marrakesh on 15 April 1994. Subject to ratification by all signatories, the Final Act and the WTO Agreement may be expected to complement the MacSharry reforms1 in leading to substantial changes in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).2 Of special importance are the Agreement on Agriculture and the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.3 The same may be said of the International Dairy Arrangement4 and of the Arrangement regarding Bovine Meat negotiated bilaterally with Uruguay.5 All these agreements have been approved on behalf of the European Community with regard to matters falling within its competence.6

Abstract:
With many of our cities today faced with a number of urban issues, there is an increasing need for cities to development sustainably. Urban Agriculture can play an important role in achieving environmental, social and economic sustainability for urban cities. The prospect of growing food locally will have profound benefits on the urban area. This study is conducted to look at how urban agriculture can be incorporated into the built environment of Hong Kong in order to contribute to its sustainability. Thorough extensive review of literature, overseas practices and interviews with various professionals, scholars, government officials, local bodies, etc., it is found that there are various development constraints inhibiting the development of urban agriculture in Hong Kong. Recommendations are made for enhancing urban agriculture from a planning policy and development framework perspective in hope that this study can spark interested from different members of the community in promoting local food production in urban cities.

Abstract:
Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of every nation. Most countries depend on agriculture and other industries to survive. Economies around the world experience difficulties. There are many countries that have the potential to stimulate their economic growth through agriculture. The untapped resources have the potential of providing food, jobs and increased financial stability. Many countries utilise their agricultural sector to grow their economy. The growth of unemployment in South Africa has a big impact on our economy. This has caused an increase in poverty and unemployment (Ukpere & Slabbert, 2009). Women’s role in agriculture and food security is critical, but there is still lack of visibility regarding their participation and contribution in agriculture and development in general. This has led to two forms of agriculture in South Africa; so-called subsistence farming in the communal areas and white commercial farming (Kwa, 2001). Most emerging farmers are on communal land where they share decisions and ownership is unsecured, which discourages investment and limits productivity (Farmer's weekly, 2012). The main objective of the research was to determine if the women in the Tsitsikamma (Eastern Cape, South Africa), area have knowledge and strategies to manage their agribusiness in order to create an enabling environment and be competitive in their farming businesses. The qualitative method was used to answer questions in order to understand people’s perceptions, perspectives and understanding of particular situations. It is based on the belief that the researcher’s ability to interpret and make sense of what he or she sees is critical for an understanding of any social phenomenon. In seeking to create an enabling environment, a qualitative analysis investigated this particular situation. The sample consisted of 25 out of a possible 30 women in the agriculture industry. A structured questionnaire was used and interviews were conducted with women involved in agriculture regardless of owning a farm. This study was based in the farming industry, particular farm women who are interested or involved in agribusiness in the Tsitsikamma region. The results of the questionnaire revealed key findings, which enabled the researcher to draw meaningful conclusions and recommendations. The findings have suggested that the women farmers can overcome the identified constraints affecting the opportunities to grow their farming businesses. Further empirical results indicated that they do not have any strategies in running their farming businesses. The study also highlights areas in agribusiness that should be improved.

Abstract:
Cette thèse étudie les conséquences de l'ouverture économique internationale sur la qualité de l’environnement et l’impact des préoccupations environnementales croissantes sur la stabilité des marchés agricoles. Le premier essai étudie l'impact de l'ouverture au niveau agrégé. L'hypothèse de havre de pollution (HHP) est supportée pour les principaux gaz à effet de serre et pour la demande biologique de l’eau en oxygène, mais pas pour les polluants locaux, pour lesquels l'hypothèse de ‘pollution halo’ ne peut pas être rejetée. On montre que la délocalisation des multinationales augmente le niveau de pollution de l’eau des pays en développement (PED) et réduit l’émission des polluants locaux des PED et des pays développés. La ratification des accords environnementaux réduit plus les émissions des pays développés que celles des PED et l'ouverture commerciale réduit l’émission de la plupart des polluants. Le deuxième essai étudie l'impact de l'ouverture au niveau régional. L’HHP est supportée pour le CO2 en Afrique, en Amérique du Sud, au MENA, et aux pays de l'Ex URSS et l’Europe de l'Est. L'hypothèse de ‘pollution halo’ ne peut être rejetée pour l'Asie. L’HHP est également confirmée pour les émissions de SO2 en Amérique du Sud tandis que celle de ‘pollution halo’ est confirmée pour les émissions de SO2 en Afrique. Nous montrons que l'investissement local contribue de manière significative à l'augmentation des émissions de CO2 et SO2 dans la plupart des régions, alors que l'ouverture commerciale n'a d'effet que dans deux régions. Le troisième essai identifie trois changements structurels dans la relation entre le prix du maïs et celui du pétrole. On montre que la relation entre le prix du maïs et celui du pétrole a tendance à être plus forte lors des périodes de haute volatilité de prix du pétrole et lorsque les politiques agricoles créent moins de distorsions. Le développement spectaculaire de l’industrie de l’éthanol a renforcé la relation entre le prix du maïs et celui du pétrole qui sont cointégrés seulement durant le quatrième régime. Les fonctions de réaction aux impulsions confirment que les prix du maïs répondent systématiquement aux chocs des prix du pétrole, mais l'inverse n'est pas vrai.
This thesis focusses on the consequences of international economic (investment and trade) openness on the environment and on the potential impacts of growing environmental concerns on the stability of agricultural markets (corn prices in the international market). The first essay studies the impact of trade and investment openness on the environment at the aggregate level. We find that the pollution haven hypothesis is supported for major greenhouse gases (CO2, HFC, PFC and SF6) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), but not for local pollutants (NO2 and SO2), for which the pollution halo hypothesis could not be rejected. We show that the relocation of multinational corporations has harmful environmental effects in developing countries, while foreign direct investment reduces local pollutants emission in both developed and developing countries. Ratification of environmental agreements is found to have a stronger mitigating impact in developed countries than in developing ones and trade openness has a significantly negative impact on the emission of most pollutants. The second essay studies the impact of openness on the environment at the regional level. We find support for the pollution haven hypothesis for CO2 emissions in Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, the former United Socialist Soviet Republic and Eastern Europe, and South America, but not in Asia, for which the pollution halo hypothesis could not be rejected. The pollution haven hypothesis is also supported for SO2 emissions in South America while the pollution halo holds for SO2 emissions in Africa. We show that local investment is contributing significantly to both CO2 and SO2 emissions increase in most regions while trade openness matters only in two regions. The third essay identifies three structural breaks in the relationship between corn and oil prices. We show that the relationship between corn and oil prices tends to be stronger when oil prices are highly volatile and when agricultural policies create less distortion. The ethanol boom strengthened the relation between corn and oil prices which are cointegrated only in the fourth regime. Impulse response functions confirm that corn prices systematically respond to oil price shocks, but the converse is not observed.

Abstract:
Although current environmental policies may prove successful against narrowly defined criteria of economic, social or environmental sustainability, it is by no means certain that the sustainability of inter-dependent economic and environmental systems will be assured. In fact, policy intervention may result in the displacement of environmental problems to other media, times or places. Farmers are the focus for divergent forces of state, market and social regulation and in consequence their response, or more importantly non-response, to environmental policies cannot be assessed in isolation. This thesis explores these complex issues through analysis of the agriculture-water interface, focusing on the allocation and regulation of abstraction water for use as spray irrigation by farmers in the eastern counties of England. Adopting an interface-network methodology, the analysis traces the network of social relations which directly and indirectly influence the use and management of irrigation water and potential response to demand management policies, encompassing farmers' interaction with the NRA, food processing, manufacturing and retail firms as well as farmer representative groups. Risk and uncertainty play a central role shaping interaction not only between firms, but between firms and farmers as they attempt to reallocate the financial, production, legal and environmental risks associated with production. The analysis demonstrates how farmers' incorporation into the "quality projects" of the downstream food network critically distorts their response to demand management policies. This perpetuates a highly intensive system of agricultural production, contributing to the loss of landscape and wildlife habitat and diffuse pollution of ground and surface water sources. The analysis concludes by outlining an alternative agenda of action for the Environment Agency which focuses on promoting synergy between state and market forces of regulation. Only through addressing these issues will the integration of the environment and economy prove successful at the agriculture-water interface.

The growing demand for food challenges our current farming methods, motivating the search for new paradigms for agricultural production. In this work, the GroBot is presented as an open-source model for the fourth agricultural revolution. This indoor cultivation system was fabricated to provide a replicable supply of produce, using modular parts that are easily to machine, assemble, and manufacture. Off-the shelf, low cost components and publically available designs ensure accessibility for the average person, enabling peer-produced knowledge and community participation. Networked data and software will further support the GroBot system, building off past maker movements like the RepRap 3D printer and Linux operating system. The initial prototypes were optimized, evaluating the materials, structures, manufacturing, and assembly processes. A hardware assembly manual and parts list were created with the goal of mobilizing growers, farmers, and hackers to participate in iterative development and information sharing. Through its technological, biological, and social platform, the GroBot forms the foundation for the future of food at both the consumer and industrial scale.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this report is to conduct an analysis with a view to determine the potential role and contribution of agriculture in region E. This report emphasises the agricultural impact in determining an economic development strategy for region E. It is therefore the aim of this report to provide a brief situation analysis and an interpretation of existing problems affecting development. The importance of the sector, implications of the spacial distribution, the structure, potential growth and the policy environment will be addressed. From the above, constraints, bottlenecks, the likely future demand, etc will be pointed out. The interpretation of the above and its implications for development is necessary to determine objectives for the aimed strategy. The strategy for region E is necessary in determining policies stressing economic growth and fair distribution of resources to enable the mass of the population to share in increased wealth and economic opportunities.

Abstract:
In the environmental sustainability concept, this paper investigates the relationship between agricultural emission and per capita income. Additional variable is agriculture sector energy consumption. Our data is related to 1990-2010 period for 22 countries which are in the Eurasian region. Firstly, dynamic OLS and full modified OLS are applied to the data. The results show that Environmental Kuznet Curve (EKC) hypothesis is valid for agricultural emission and income. Moreover, there is a co-integration relationship between agricultural emission and both income and agricultural energy consumption. Secondly, dynamic panel GMM and dynamic OLS are applied to little modified data. Results again, imply that EKC is true for agriculture sector. Based on these results, political and intuitional regulations could be developed for environmental sustainability.

Abstract:
The Social and Economic Survey Research Institute (SESRI) at Qatar University is implementing the agricultural census in Qatar (2021), which is funded by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment. Agricultural census is a statistical process based on collecting, processing, and disseminating data on the structure of agriculture, which often covers the whole country or a large part of it. It usually involves collecting agricultural data such as the size of properties, land usage, cropping areas, irrigation, number of farm animals, resources, and manpower. Censuses are conducted regularly every ten years to provide more recent data for agricultural policy purposes. The data provided by the census is important for food security policies and Qatar National Vision 2030, which aims at the development and expansion of the agricultural sector. This requires the introduction of “finest practices” and an agricultural business model focused on economic efficiency, profitable and sustainable agriculture, optimal use of scarce resources, and a minimal impact on the environment. The objectives of the project are summarized as follows: • Provide sample frame for agricultural surveys. • Provide data of agriculture structure in the State of Qatar, which include properties, resources, production, and cost. • Provide up-to-date data for crops, vegetables, livestock, and used areas.

Abstract:
In the last century, agricultural production intensified, but this increased its impacts on the environment, waste in supply chains and in some regions of the world, disconnected it from people’s lives. Projections of global population growth and changing consumption patterns out to 2050 suggest further increases in food production will be needed. This POSTnote outlines key drivers of global agricultural trends and the challenge of safeguarding both food production and environment value in a changing world.

Abstract:
The convergence of a favorable macroeconomic environment and high prices of primary commodities between 2000 and 2011 contributed to the best performance of agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) since the 1980s, with steady growth of total factor productivity (TFP) and output per worker and a reduction in the use of input per worker. The end of the upward phase of the commodity cycle in 2011 together with less favorable external markets and a deterioration of the policy environment in several countries, motivates us to revisit the situation of agriculture in LAC in recent years to analyze how these changes have affected its performance. This study applies a framework that uses index numbers together with data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate levels of productivity and efficiency, incorporating technical change together with technical (TE) and environmental efficiency (EE) into the decomposition of TFP. The EE index adjusts the TFP measure for pollution, treating GHG emissions as a by-product of the desired crop or livestock outputs. TFP and efficiency of crop and livestock sub-sectors was calculated for 24 LAC countries from 2000 to 2016. Our results show that the period of fast agricultural growth in LAC, driven by technical change and resource reallocation, transformed agriculture in the region leaving it in a better position to cope with the more unfavorable regional macroeconomic environment and the less dynamic global markets observed after 2011.

Abstract:
The Institute of Development Studies has led consortia of UK and African organisations in two large programmes of agricultural policy research: the original Future Agricultures Consortium programme, running from 2005 to 2014, and the successive Agricultural Policy Research in Africa programme, from 2016 to 2022. These programmes involved African field research teams, linked to African Universities, and conducting policy-relevant research into key issues relative to the future of agriculture in Africa and inclusive agricultural commercialisation (APRA). A component of both programmes was to use the evidence collected to influence the policy environment in favour of productive, sustainable, and inclusive agriculture. This paper explores what has been learnt in these two programmes about using field research evidence to improve agricultural policy.

Full text
Abstract:
Trade policy provides a powerful set of levers for accelerating a transition to more inclusive and sustainable agricultural practices. Yet, trade in agriculture is often reliant on unsustainable methods of production, misaligned to tackling hunger, inadequate in support for decent farmer livelihoods, with negative climate and environmental impacts. Several countries are pioneering efforts to reform agricultural support schemes. This briefing highlights two key priorities in aligning trade policy with efforts to reform support for a transition to sustainable and inclusive food systems: core environmental standards coupled with scaling finance to support global South producer compliance.

Abstract:
Despite growing interest and recognition of urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) as a nature- based solution, there is limited empirical evidence in countries like India on its role in reconfiguring goals on environmental functions (such as biodiversity, waste management, water recycling, micro-climate regulation, etc.) and social wellbeing (such as food and nutrition security, gender relations, work burdens, land tenure and community ties). A need to address this gap led to the ideation of the project ‘Urban and peri-urban agriculture as green infrastructures’ ( UPAGrI ). When UPAGrI started in 2019, the research on UPA in India was thin but growing. However, the practical experience of urban farming across Indian cities is thriving and diverse, built on decades of bottom-up experimentation. Within the landscape of our ever-changing cities, we found vibrant communities-of-practice sharing seeds and knowledge, engaged online influencers discussing composting and water reuse, and stories of farming becoming sites of multi-generational bonding and nutritional security. This compendium is a collection of 29 such innovative UPA practices from across the different cities in the country. These diverse case studies are loosely categorized into four themes: environment and sustainability; food, nutrition and livelihood; gender and subjective well-being; and urban policy and planning. Written mostly by practitioners themselves, the case studies collectively recognise and celebrate UPA innovations and practices, serving as a repository of lessons for peer-to-peer learning, and demonstrating how UPA can be one of the many solutions towards sustainable, liveable Indian cities.
