Full textAbstract:
The agriculture 4.0 revolution is an opportunity for farmers to meet the challenges in food production. It has become necessary to adopt a set of agricultural practices based on advanced technologies following the agriculture 4.0 revolution. This latter enables the creation of added value by combining innovative technologies: precision agriculture, information and communication technology, robotics, and Big Data. As an enterprise, a connected farm is also highly sensitive to strategic changes like organizational changes, changes in objectives, modified variety, new business objects, processes, etc. To strategically control its information system, we propose a metamodeling approach based on the ISO/IS 19440 enterprise meta-model, where we added some new constructs relating to new advanced digital technologies for Smart and Connected agriculture.

Full textAbstract:
Agricultural labour shortages coupled with a required increase in global food production and increasingly stringent sustainable farming legislation are creating a ‘perfect storm’ opportunity for a much greater reliance on electric and autonomous technologies in agriculture. Fuel cell (FC), electric vehicle (EV), and connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies are being successfully adapted to meet the needs of several on-road and off-road vehicular applications. In this article, we focus on the feasibility of integrating FC, EV, and CAV technologies to power units adapted to the autonomous completion of agricultural field operations. Such small-scale autonomous agricultural power units (AAPU) would be intended for cluster/fleet operations and feature communication capabilities facilitated through a next-generation network infrastructure. These AAPUs would be compatible with a variety of agricultural implements to provide operational versatility and value to a wide range of farming operations. Such FC & EV powered AAPUs could reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural operations by an average of 70% relative to emissions from diesel power units. This article further demonstrates that these autonomous technologies could be leveraged at a cost comparable to current diesel operations in agriculture.

The objective is to provide a systematization of concepts connected with sustainable development of agriculture (SDA) as the basis for indication of directions of changes in Polish agriculture. The author applied descriptive and comparative analyses based on a survey of the literature to indicate the differences between the described concepts. Both sustainable agricultural and rural development (SARD) and multifunctional rural development (MRD) could be connected with reduced agricultural production, which would bring positive and negative environmental consequences. The multifunctional agriculture cannot exist without production, so it is more favourable for SD, however it should be based on environmental requirements. Then it is close to sustainable agriculture. Considering these concepts, the author formulated and used his own definition of the SDA and its objectives. The sensitive rule of sustainability with secured critical natural capital is the proper one for agriculture in Poland. Currentl , Polish agriculture is in dual development (industrialisation and sustainable transition). For the SDA, the support for agriculture should be conditioned by compliance with basic environmental standards and by provision of public goods. It depends on properly directed and effectively implemented environmental and economic measures of the CAP.

Full textAbstract:
Changes in the perception of economic growth within the context of sustainable development lead to the broadly defined concept of further development of all industries, while agriculture plays qualitatively new role in this concept. Agriculture is not any more viewed only as an industry ensuring nutrition of population, but also its non-production benefit has growing importance. There is growing importance of the concept of multifunctionality of agriculture both in the Czech Republic and in the whole European Union, where agriculture historically played an important role in landscape formation and determined the development of social structures, while these aspects have growing importance for formulating of agricultural policies. Multifunctionality reflects the fact, that agriculture produces many food and non-food commodities, while some of them have the character of externalities and public goods.One of important conditions of efficient conception of agricultural policy is the answer on the question, what is the impact of growing trade liberalization on social welfare, respectively welfare of producers and consumers, if there are positive agricultural externalities. The analysis brings comparison in welfare development when externalities are internalized and when they are not. There are important consequences for social welfare, if state does not evaluate extra-production benefit of agriculture in a proper way.For the distribution analysis of benefits and costs of agricultural trade liberalization in presence of positive externalities connected with agricultural production, e.g. the analysis of impacts on consumers, producers and social welfare, is used traditional international trade model.Under the present tendency to liberalization of world agricultural markets there should be an effort of policy makers to internalise agricultural externalities. If there are agricultural industries, which are net exporters and at the same time produce positive agricultural externalities, trade liberalization brings additional increase of social welfare, connected with increased production of given agricultural commodity and at the same time increased production of positive agricultural externality. Growth of social welfare will be higher if positive agricultural externality will be internalised.For agricultural industries with positive externalities which are net importers, the change of social welfare brought by trade liberalization is not obvious. It depends on concrete character of cost and demand curves. However in any case, the social welfare will be higher with internalised externality that without internalization.

This project consists of developing a unified platform which can help farmers and consumers to come on the same platform and buy the agricultural products directly from the farmers. The application offers smooth online payment, user and farmer profile administration and real time inventory up to date. They are also key in establishing trust as they onboard verified farmers, and upload schemes which are advantageous to the farmers. Further down the line, vehicle and land renting functionalities, as well as tiny fertilizer management, will give farmers more support. Using this app, farmers can rent so agricultural machinery that includes tractor and harvesters at nominal costs finally using technology which was earlier not affordable for them. Farmer's use user friendly interfaces and robust backends to communicate with rental providers, manage bookings and track real time updates. The system is administered by an administration access pool who are responsible for overseeing the system (transaction transparency and efficient dispute resolution) as well as providing the users with the freedom to explore the ecosystem and contribute to it when they wish. We aim to help the agricultural community eliminate costs, increase production of goods, and work together. With this app, digital tools help fill the gap between modern tech and old school farming so we can farm a prosperous and sustainable future.

International Journal of Applied Research in Social Sciences 5, no. 10 (December 30, 2023): 693–708. http://dx.doi.org/10.51594/ijarss.v5i10.1482.
Full textAbstract:
Precision agriculture, an innovative approach to farming that leverages data-driven technologies, has revolutionized the agricultural sector by enhancing productivity, resource efficiency, and sustainability. However, the increasing reliance on digital tools and connected devices has introduced significant cybersecurity challenges, particularly concerning data integrity and privacy. This paper explores the critical importance of cybersecurity in precision agriculture, focusing on protecting sensitive agricultural data from breaches, unauthorized access, and potential manipulation. As precision agriculture systems collect vast amounts of data through sensors, drones, and GPS-enabled devices, the risk of cyber threats has escalated. These threats can compromise the integrity of critical data, leading to inaccurate decision-making, financial losses, and disruption of agricultural operations. Moreover, the interconnected nature of precision agriculture systems makes them vulnerable to cyberattacks that could have widespread implications across the agricultural supply chain. This study examines the key cybersecurity challenges in precision agriculture, including the protection of data at rest and in transit, the safeguarding of privacy in data sharing among stakeholders, and the implementation of robust encryption and authentication mechanisms. It also highlights the importance of developing industry-specific cybersecurity standards and best practices tailored to the unique needs of the agricultural sector. Furthermore, the paper discusses the ethical considerations of data privacy in precision agriculture, emphasizing the need to balance technological advancement with the protection of farmers' and consumers' rights. The potential consequences of inadequate cybersecurity measures, such as the loss of trust in digital farming technologies and the erosion of competitive advantage, are also addressed. In conclusion, as precision agriculture continues to evolve, ensuring the integrity and privacy of agricultural data through effective cybersecurity measures is paramount. This will not only protect the agricultural sector from emerging cyber threats but also foster the sustainable growth and adoption of precision agriculture technologies. Keywords: Cybersecurity, Precision Agriculture, Data Privacy, Data Integrity, Protecting.

Archival materials of the Polish Agricultural Bank as a source for research on the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture in the first half of the 20th c. The body of work of historians regarding the Polish countryside and agriculture in the first half of the 20th century is relatively extensive. The majority of studies on farming primarily address the post-war period, discuss the interwar period to a lesser degree, with barely touching upon the Nazi occupation. The situation is similar when it comes to publications regarding particular areas of agriculture and the means of production. Unfortunately, what those publications have in common is that none of them uses materials connected to agricultural banking. The objective of the article is to encourage those who study or intend to study the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture of the first half of the 20th century to research the records of the State Agricultural Bank (1919–1949) kept by the National Archives. Analysis of the publications related to the State Agricultural Bank (hereinafter the PBR) and the archive materials connected with its activity, kept by the National Archives, suggests that: 1. The BPR had a key role in implementing the farming policy of the national authorities and was crucial to the development of agriculture and the countryside; 2. the legacy of the PBR in the National Archives is remarkably vast (tens of thousands of archive units) and covers a wide range of issues, from banking through the development of farming to the situation in the countryside in the first half of the 20th century; 3. the vast credit records of the PBR kept by the National Archives offer a wide range of possibilities for the researchers focused on the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture, as they provide a plethora of interesting information on the situation of agriculture and farmers between 1919 and 1949.

Full textAbstract:
Background and objective: The scales of urban agriculture need to be assessed and rescaled to implement or achieve its multidimensional functions and values in South Korea. Significant scales and narratives were assessed and rescaled with narratives described in the laws and literatures.Methods: Narratives created from 1980 to 2022 were collected. The definition of urban agriculture, the difference between farmers and urban farmers, and the spatial scales of rural and urban areas were assessed using the scales and narratives in the related laws, plans, research papers, etc. In addition, the multidimensional functions and values that urban agriculture aims for were analyzed.Results: Under domestic laws, urban agriculture is defined as cultivating crops, trees, or flowers, or raising insects within a city for hobby, leisure, study, or experience purposes. Farmers and urban farmers are distinguished based on the purpose of the activity or on whether the agricultural activities are carried out as economic activities. The spatial scale of urban areas where urban agriculture is practiced is not limited to specific administrative districts. The literature defines urban agriculture as all agricultural activities in and around cities and spaces with urban contexts and includes the secondary and tertiary industries. Participants in urban agriculture are the public who participate or want to participate in urban agriculture. The spatial scale of urban agriculture includes urban areas, areas connected to urban areas, and areas in which urban and rural contexts are hybridized. The function and value of urban agriculture have been further expanded compared to the past.Conclusion: The narratives for the re-scale framing of urban agriculture are as follows: urban agriculture is agricultural production activities carried out by the public in urban agricultural spaces, spaces linked to urban agriculture, or spaces with the context of urban agriculture to implement or achieve multi-dimensional functions and values of urban agriculture. In future, it will also include the secondary and tertiary agricultural industries related to urban agriculture.

The paper presents accountant solutions concerning reserves according to the accountancy law and IAS-2 "Reserves" and IAS-41 "Agriculture". In accordance with the accountancy law accountants have to identify borne cost connected with run activity according to its usefulness, profitability and presenting information in the financial account. Solutions concerning recording and reserves valuation are strictly defined in the accountancy law, what is to a large extent coherent with solutions in IAS-2 "Reserves". Introducing IAS-41 "Agriculture" enabled to specify better solutions concerning reserves in agricultural farms. In that scope in agricultural enterprises far-reaching simplifications are applied. Reserves influence the assessment of the structure of firm's property, as well as the financial liquidity. The scope of recording of economic events connected with reserves could be limited and simplified by introducing reserves managing according to the conception "just in time".

Agriculture is not any more viewed only as an industry ensuring nutrition of population, but also its non-production benefit has growing importance. This holds especially for the areas with extensive agriculture, where main product of agriculture is landscape preservation and restoration, and other environmental and social benefits, and where agricultural production is neither main objective nor source of income of agricultural producers. Especially in Europe, where agriculture historically played an important role in landscape formation and determined the development of social structures in rural regions, becomes this non-production function of agriculture more and more important. For a possibility to assess multifunctionality of agriculture is necessary to analyse both production relationships between commodity and non-commodity outputs, and also externalities and public goods connected with this production. First part of the paper is devoted to methodological issues in connection with evaluation of multifunctionality of agriculture, with emphasis on theoretical framework of externalities evaluation. In the following part is presented methodological approach for externalities internalisation at the regional level, coming from supply side.

Abstract In agricultural nations, such as India, where agriculture leads more to India’s Economic growth, it plays a significant part. The prediction of the crop is one of the main tasks in agriculture. Crop prediction methods are employed by detecting different soil parameters and factors connected to the atmosphere for predicting the appropriate crop. The unstable climate exposes farmers to danger in the environment. Therefore the correct history data must be maintained is essential. The data stored may be evaluated to predict agricultural production. In a cloud server, experts analyze sensed data, land type, land, climate, and farmers’ economies with a prediction effect. The method forecasts the use of artificial intelligence algorithms for appropriate crops and fertilizers. A crucial strategy for handling numerous challenges connected to agriculture is the domain of artificial intelligence with its high-quality learning capacity. Technologies to help farmers find better solutions around the world are being created. To benefit from the parallel computational and storage management of huge data sets, the agricultural community must establish an architectural design that would enable the identification of new statistical structures to extract valuable information from data structures. These processes assist to explore the field and different challenges and effectively respond to certain challenges. In the improved integration of diverse data collection types from multiple sources, artificial intelligence offers attractive computing and analytical methods. The main principle of AI and systemic approaches to understanding its use in agriculture are presented in this paper. It also addresses several algorithms for artificial intelligence which may be used to create models to deal with various agricultural problems.

Today the strategic vector of agricultural development is connected with the introduction of digital technologies. Digitalization leads not only to transformation of production processes in the industry but as well has much wider environmental, social and institutional context. This paper is aimed at finding out what digital transformations have the most strategic significance for social and economic development of agro-industrial regions of the south of Russia, as well as at revealing the factors fostering or constraining these processes. Digital transformation in the south Russian regions has just affected the first level – application of new information technologies for raising economic performance and simultaneous alleviating environmental problems. The perspectives of digitalization of the agriculture are connected with developing open collaborative systems with different types of business collaborations. The authors highlight the main problems of realizing digital transformations in the agriculture of the south regions solving of which can be provided by means of authorities’ institutional decisions within regional strategies of digitalization. This research gives an idea of the potential of agricultural digitalization and its results can be used for forming theoretical and methodological grounds for strategic development of agriculture in agro-industrial regions in modern circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last years, existing technologies have been applied to agricultural environments, resulting in new precision agriculture systems. Some of the multiple profits of developing new agricultural technologies and applications include the cost reduction around the building and deployment of them, together with more energy-efficient consumption. Therefore, agricultural precision systems focus on developing better, easier, cheaper, and overall more efficient ways of handling agricultural monitoring and actuation. To achieve this vision, we use a set of technologies such as Wireless Sensor Networks, Sensors devices, Internet of Things, or data analysis. More specifically, in this study, we proposed a combination of all these technologies to design and develop a prototype of a precision agriculture system for medium and small agriculture plantations that highlights two major advantages: efficient energy management with self-charging capabilities and a low-cost policy. For the development of the project, several prototype nodes were built and deployed within a sensor network connected to the cloud as a self-powered system. The final target of this system is, therefore, to gather environment data, analyze it, and actuate by activating the watering installation. An analysis of the exposed agriculture monitoring system, in addition to results, is exposed in the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Agricultural activities can have a significant impact on aquatic organisms, including aquatic insects. Most of the aquatic Heteroptera are known as moderately tolerant to low oxygen and high nutrient concentrations. Nevertheless, the complex effects of agriculture (source of both pesticides and nutrient loads) on this group are still unclear. Therefore, the relationship between six agricultural land use classes and the occurrence of common aquatic bugs in Bulgaria was studied. In order to avoid detection bias, presence-only models were applied; Maxent algorithm was used. According to the results, land use practices connected to arable land (annual crops) have stronger influence on the occurrence of the selected aquatic Heteroptera species than those connected to perennial crops (vineyards and fruit trees). Higher sensitivity to the effects of agriculture was indicated for species preferring microhabitats without macrophyte vegetation, Aphelocheirus aestivalis (Fabricius, 1794) and Micronecta griseola Horváth, 1899, compared to species preferring macrophyte dominated sites, Nepa cinerea Linnaeus, 1758, Ilyocoris cimicoides (Linnaeus, 1758) and Sigara striata (Linnaeus, 1758).

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses questions connected with the restructuring of agriculture in the Little Carpathian region, which is one of the most dynamically developing regions of western Slovakia. Analysing the course of the transformation process in large-scale postsocialist agricultural enterprises, the author stresses its variable character in the differentiated local context. Attention is given also to other spheres of agricultural activity: the enterprises of privately producing farmers, and private plot production for families’ own use. It is argued that in the real economy of the region the importance of agriculture as a branch of production has declined. Ideas of the region’s progress and prosperity are rarely associated with agriculture nowadays (with the exception of vine-growing). Nonetheless, agriculture is beginning to be perceived as a natural part of the landscape, as a particular feature which must be preserved and utilised in the long-term, including in the context of developing regional tourism.

AbstractAgricultural credit organisations are paramount to every country because agriculture must operate under threats of risk and uncertainty. When small-scale family farms are dominant, all types of agricultural organisations become important to keep farmers’ incomes at a reasonable level and encourage agricultural development. Midhat Pasha understood the importance of agricultural organisations, and he created a well-designed system for agricultural credit. He is the founder of Homeland Coffers that distribute credits to farmers. The original side of these credit organisations was capital accumulation and the methods of using it. Capital for these Coffers were provided by the joint actions of credit users.

Agricultural sector in India remains of vital importance to the Indian economy contributing to the overall economic growth through supplies of food and raw materials and providing livelihood support to a substantial share of the population of the country. Indian agriculture is currently facing numerous issues like low productivity, ensuring food security and farmer’s income. Efficiency of agriculture in India is very much connected with these issues and has been a topic of extensive research and analysis. The present study attempts to measure the efficiency of agricultural production of the selected twenty major states of India. The efficiency in agricultural production of the states have been evaluated using the non-parametric technique of data envelopment analysis (DEA). The study reveals that there is a wide variation in efficiency scores of agricultural production across the states with an average efficiency score being 0.6. The Tobit regression analysis reveals that the states with higher literacy, higher cropping intensity have higher efficiency levels. The study outcomes from this research will be useful for policymakers to adopt right policy in the direction of sustainable agricultural development.

This article is devoted to study of Ukraine’s agricultural exports and financial losses in agriculture due to russian military aggression. The dynamics and structure of Ukraine’s agricultural exports in 2021 and during martial war are analyzed. The main problems faced by agricultural enterprises during martial law have been identified. It has been established that the suspension of Ukraine's agricultural exports is connected with blockade of the Black and Azov Seas by the russian military. The material assets and agricultural lands of enterprises were also significantly damaged, and thefts, exportation of grain crops, fuel and mineral fertilizers were observed in the occupied territories in Ukraine. Indirect financial losses of Ukraine’s agricultural exports and agriculture of Ukraine during martial law were determined. The directions of support of Ukraine’s agricultural exports by the Government of Ukraine, world leaders and international organizations during martial law are studied. The directions of optimization economic activity of agrarian enterprises of Ukraine during martial law are substantiated. Ways to diversify logistics routes for Ukraine’s agricultural exports and food security in the world during martial law are proposed. The need to unblock Ukraine’s agricultural exports in order to prevent food starvation in African countries and ensuring food security in the world is pointed out.

Agriculture has been the cornerstone of the Indian economy since ancient times. Agriculture is the fundamental structure of the Indian economy. Because agriculture is the main source of income for almost half of India's population. This is the reason why agriculture is considered the backbone of the Indian economy. Agriculture has an important contribution in the Indian economy, the basic reason for which is that about 60 percent of India's population is connected to the agriculture sector. Which contributes about 20 percent to India's GDP. At present, the Government of India is running many programs to increase agricultural production. Whose main objective includes improvement in agricultural sector like increase in agricultural production, financial help to farmers, use of technology in agriculture, scientific applications in agriculture, etc.
Abstract in Hindi Language:
प्राचीन काल से ही कृषि भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था की आधारषिला रही है। कृषि भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था का बुनिवादी ढांचा है। क्योंकि भारत के लगभग आधी जनसंख्या के आय का मुख्य स्रोत कृषि है। यही कारण है कि कृषि को भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था का रीढ़ भी कहाँ जाता है। भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था में कृषि का महत्वपूर्ण योगदान है, जिसका मूलभूत कारण यह है की भारत लगभग 60 प्रतिषत जनसंख्या कृषि क्षेत्र से जुड़ी हुई है। जो कि भारत की जीडीपी में लगभग 20 प्रतिषत का योगदान करती है। वर्तमान समय में भारत सरकार कृषि उत्पादन में वृद्धि के लिए अनेको कार्यक्रम चला रही हैं। जिसका मुख्य उद्देष्य कृषि क्षेत्र में सुधार जैसे - कृषि उत्पादन में वृद्धि, किसानों को आर्थिक मदद, कृषि में टेक्नोलोजी का प्रयोग, कृषि में वैज्ञानिक अनुप्रयोग, आदि शामिल है।

The purpose of this paper is to present, by means of case studies, examples of activities in the field of multipurpose development businesses which, due to services offered, their location and recognition, can serve as good practices and provide inspiration for the development of such activities in rural areas of selected EU countries. A key aspect of multipurpose rural development is to shift from single-function development towards farm diversification in order to engage in and develop non-agricultural activities. The concept of multipurpose rural development, where agriculture is no longer the sole function of rural areas, has often become a panacea for maintaining the basic form of agriculture, especially in areas affected by severe fragmentation of agricultural land. The examples found in three countries (Poland, Spain and Romania) showed that agriculture can be combined with non-agricultural activities with environmentally-friendly, innovative and educational concepts. The analyzed cases also showed that entrepreneurship in rural areas is often carried out in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, and the multifunctional nature of these activities indicates that even small farms are able to survive. However, it is important that it is not only agricultural activity, but other activities connected with it, using natural and cultural resources of farms and villages, such as processing or education.

Understanding and assessing the impact of agricultural production on the environment is an important issue. Many analyzes were carried out to assess awarenass of inhabitants of rural areas. This awarensees of agricultural producers is of the main importance because it is connected with applided agricultural practices which infuence the immediate surroundings of farms. This is important in the level of understanding and acceptance of agricultural activities by the local community. The aim of the research was to determine farmers’ awareness and perception of the impact of their agricultural production on the local environment, depending on their characteristics. In total, 310 farms from four voivodships with the greatest potential for agricultural production were surveyed using the interview questionnaire. The research was conducted in 2019 and 2020. Most of the questions were closed questions, with answers on a 5-point Likert scale. The chi-square test of independence was used to compile the results. It was found that there is a relationship between the income situation of farmers and their knowledge of the concept of sustainable agriculture and the perception of the impact of agriculture on the economy, natural environment, culture and local community.

This paper analyzes in three contexts the effects of changing economic conditions and varying economic perspectives on the way land is considered in economic doctrine. The first considers agricultural land use where agriculture is connected to the rest of the economy exclusively through input and commodity markets, and when all other parts of the economy are assumed to remain constant. The second connects agriculture to the remainder of the economy by virtue of a shared natural environment, facilitating a discussion of natural resource and environmental economics in relation to agricultural, institutional, and land economics. The third context permits economic change in the entire economy with particular attention given to population density, space, and distance. Private and public decision making are discussed with attention to federal, state, and local division of powers.

Agriculture is often neglected as the most serious topic in recent times under different perspectives. We do talk about various disciplines of Science, Social Sciences and Humanities but often forget to provide due respect to the field of Agriculture and take this subject for granted. It is quite important to note that Agriculture just does not mean animal and crop production or pest and disease control or agronomy or soil science only; it spreads way beyond these usual scopes and now encompass divergent field as environmental sciences, food security and food politics, social anthropology, molecular biology, biotechnology, genetic engineering, nutritional sciences, human development, agricultural geography, satellite technologies and even nanotechnology. It has been slowly transformed into a most divergent, dynamic, engaging and multi-disciplinary subject that is inter-connected with every facet of modern human development. No human society can survive in the present world without investing in agricultural research and development. Agriculture is the mother and corner stone of all subjects and the fundamental pillar on which human societies and civilizations have thrived from time immemorial. The five basic requirements of any surviving human society on this planet, namely, food, fibre, fodder, fuel and fertilizer and are all direct products of agriculture [1,2].

The goal of the article is to work out recommendations aimed at providing sustainability of agriculture development on the level of national economy in conditions of changing climate. The agriculture development within the frames of traditional approach can be studied in two aspects: as a sector subjected to the global climate change impact; as a sector promoting climate change due to greenhouse gas emission. The authors showed that in regard to present trends scientific recommendations aimed at agriculture adaptation to climate changes are the most significant for Russia. On the basis of provided concepts they identified key lines in the said adaptation: to develop innovation connected with adaptation to consequences of climate changes; to upgrade the system of agro-insurance; to use methods of organic food production; to monitor and appraise adaptation of agriculture to climate changes; to introduce strategic planning of sustainable development and location of agricultural production. These lines should be realized on the basis of integrity, strategic orientation and scientific support of agricultural production. These lines can stabilize the level of key parameters of the sector in the long-term perspective.

Agricultural services address the demand for the technological, economical and environmental dimension of agricultural activities. This paper focuses on agricultural services related to field crop production. The objective of the study was to compare the output of agricultural services used by farms specializing in field crops in European Union countries in 2004 and 2016. The study was based on a deductive and comparative method and relied on FADN data. It was shown that the purchasing costs of agricultural services tend to be connected with the level of agricultural development. Other factors of importance are the availability of the farms’ own machinery and the amount of labour engaged in production. However, the differences between EU-14 and EU-10 countries suggest that natural and cultural specificities of national agriculture also play a considerable role.

Purpose Circumstances that are have a significant impact on it. In particular, environmental sustainability related to the increase of worldwide population, and market demand for agricultural products (with consumers more and more aware about cultivation and breeding techniques and interested in healthy and high-quality products) represent two of the key challenges that the agricultural sector is going to face in next years. In such a landscape, technological innovations that can support organizations and entrepreneurs to face these problems become increasingly important, and Industry 4.0 is the most striking example. Indeed, the Industry 4.0 paradigm aims to integrate digital technologies into business processes to raise productivity levels and to develop new business models. Accordingly, digital technologies play a similar role in the precision agriculture domain, and the purpose of this paper is to understand if the technologies at the basis of these two paradigms are the same or not. Design/methodology/approach The present work investigates how the two domains of Industry 4.0 and precision agriculture are connected to one another by analyzing the most used technologies in both the fields in order to highlight common patterns and technological overlaps. To reach such goal, an approach combining manual and automated analysis was developed. Findings The research work generated three main results: a dictionary of precision agriculture technologies including 324 terms; a graph, describing the connections between the technologies composing the dictionary; and a representation of the main technological clusters identified. Originality/value These show how the two domains under analysis are directly connected and describe the most important technologies to leverage when approaching digital transformation processes in the agricultural sector.

The technological process of agricultural mechanization has evolved from mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic structures to electrical-electronic and mechatronic systems. With the addition of digital technologies in recent years, agricultural mechanization tools have had functions as time-independent, non-spatial, and unmanned. Agricultural production technologies are now equipped with integrated systems with the Internet of Things, cloud informatics, image processing, wireless data transmission, and mobile-portable devices. Today, during the production process, physical, biological, or chemical data detected through sensors from plants, animals, soil, and atmosphere are uploaded to computers and cloud informatic technologies as big data sets. The data is presented to decision-makers via mobile devices connected to the internet. Within the scope of this study, examples of mobile-portable applications used in the field of smart agriculture in the world and our country were generally examined. In addition, technological and sectoral applications for mobile smart agriculture in our country have been taken over. Currently, common application examples of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and some private sector companies, that produce these technologies and provide them for the end users, have also been researched in this context. In addition to these, the strengths and weaknesses of the current portable mobile applications in agricultural production have been tried to be analyzed in terms of our country’s conditions.

The relevance of the topic of the article is connected with the current state of the agricultural industry and the need to solve the problem of food security improvement, especially in the regions of Russia. Agriculture is the most important area that ensures not only the food but also the economic security of the country, which directly affects the level and quality of life of the population. The ongoing sanctions and political isolation of Russia are no less reflected in the agriculture of the regions and from the point of view of food self-sufficiency. In addition, there are transformations that are accompanied by changes in the social structure of villages and organizational and legal forms of rural management. The development of agriculture affects the level and quality of life and the well-being of people in any state. The volume and structure of food, average income per capita, and social living conditions depend on its state. In this regard, effective measures should be taken to ensure the sustainable development of the agricultural industry. The purpose of the paper is to conduct studies of the state of agriculture in one of the North-Arctic regions of Russia, Yakutia, to identify problems and factors that significantly affect the development of its agriculture, as well as to suggest a number of recommendations for measures to improve the situation in agriculture and the development of rural areas. The analysis based on a generalization of state statistics revealed problems about the underdevelopment of the engineering and social infrastructure of agriculture and rural areas and also found that insufficient funds for the development of agricultural industry lead to an annual reduction in agricultural production and the outflow of rural population to cities. The absence of the General Scheme of public administration and the inconsistency of interaction at all levels of government reduce the efficiency of the industry and create a threat to the country’s food security. The results of the study were practical recommendations prepared by the author.

The modern agricultural production is facing the problem of a growing society connected with the growing asking for food as well as different environmental threats. To solve this issue, agricultural production should be more sustainable and efficient which can be reached by using new technologies. In the paper the most important technologies, which were evaluated by different research methods to find how and when they could be used for a sustainable intensification of agriculture were highlighted by applying technology and market readiness models. By asking professionals from different fields of agriculture in practice as well as academia it was found that technologies that collect or utilize advanced data (sensors, drones) used for knowledge based management are more applicable for use, contrary to nanotechnologies where the costs of development and applications limits the readiness.

Summary The conducted research concerns the issue of the impact of the prices on the volume and the productivity of labour and capital factors. The purpose of the article is to compare to what extend changes in the structures of agricultural production factors in the agriculture of selected EU countries (Poland, Hungary, Italy) in years 1999-2013 are the consequence of adaptation to price conditions on the agricultural products markets and production factors markets. The studies prove the low elasticity of production factor structures relative to the price scissors index in the all countries. However, in the case of Hungary and Poland it is particularly low, which can be connected with low capitalization of agriculture in those countries, on the one hand, and the “path dependency” effect in the context of communist past of these countries, on the other.

Full textAbstract:
The computer science perspective of ontology refers to ontology as a technology, however, with a different perspective in terms of interrogations and concentrations to construct engineering models of reality. Agriculture-centered architectures are among rich sources of knowledge that are developed, preserved, and released for farmers and agro professionals. Many researchers have developed different variants of existing ontology-based information systems. These systems are primarily picked agriculture-related ontological strategies based on activities such as crops, weeds, implantation, irrigation, and planting, to name a few. By considering the limitations on agricultural resources in the ONTAgri scenario, in this paper, an extension of ontology is proposed. The extended ONTAgri is a service-oriented architecture that connects precision farming with both local and global decision-making methods. These decision-making methods are connected with the Internet of Things systems in parallel for the input processing of system ontology. The proposed architecture fulfills the requirements of Agriculture 4.0. The significance of the proposed approach aiming to solve a multitude of agricultural problems being faced by the farmers is successfully demonstrated through SPARQL queries.

Full textAbstract:
It is shown that in the context of global challenges, the economy is being reformatted in favor of vital industries, including the agri-food sector. The apparently prosperous state of Russian agriculture and, above all, crop production, which demonstrates long-term growth of production even against the background of slowing down the dynamics of the domestic economy, is by no means unconditional. The development of the industry takes place in conditions of limited reproduction, largely due to the exhaustion of natural, labor, material, technical and financial resources. Such a paradox is fraught with the collapse of crops and problems in ensuring national food security. However, Russian agriculture, which has learned to survive in a crisis situation, with an effective agricultural policy, is capable of more intensive development in the face of global cataclysms. These prospects are connected with the possibility of a sharp increase in the production of natural products in vast territories that have preserved relict shades of agriculture; with the introduction of once abandoned agricultural land into circulation. The conditions that need to be created for the implementation of global competitive advantages of crop production are shown. The semantic analysis of leading publications is carried out, which allows identifying trends in promising world research in agricultural Sciences.

In the era of agriculture 4.0, cutting-edge technologies including Information and communication technology (ICT) is being introduced into traditional agriculture. As farm intelligence emerges as a key area of smart agriculture, the scope of agriculture has expanded from the seed industry to distribution and logistics, however the area that is still most directly connected to the physical agricultural environment is smart farming. Cybersecurity incidents or cybercrimes in smart farming can directly damage crops and harm human safety. Research on individual technical elements that constitute smart farming has been ongoing for a long time relatively, however it has not been long since the work of systematically identifying and classifying threats to smart agriculture as a whole. In this study, STRIDE threat modeling is used to identify cyber threats to greenhouse and make system design more robust. Through this work, we have derived 126 threats and have created 4 types of attack trees. It will be the basis to allow systematic threat classification more clearly in smart greenhouse.

Full textAbstract:
A vast majority of farmers in the rural middle hills of Nepal are smallholders who often use family labor and follow traditional agricultural and water management practices. This study examines a range of perspectives (from rural farmers to development experts) on the limited commercialization of rural agriculture in this region of Nepal and the potential approaches to promoting agricultural growth and commercialization among small landholders. An analysis of household surveys, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions in three wards of Kaski, Syangja, and Palpa districts of Nepal revealed that nearly one-third of farmers left their agricultural lands barren or only partly cultivated, and more than one-third were not motivated to engage in agricultural activities. This lack of motivation was found to be connected with limited or no access to irrigation water, poor production systems, a lack of access to markets, a low return on investment in agriculture, the low social status of farm-work, the incidence of crop infestations, and fear of production risks due to extreme climatic factors (such as low/high rainfall, droughts, etc.). Remittances related to outmigration were also found to be important factors limiting a farmer’s involvement in agriculture, which also creates labor shortages. This research confirms that, for agricultural production to be profitable and commercial, households need to receive qualified technical support to introduce new technologies, engage in markets, access input suppliers and service providers, and adopt high-value production crops and related techniques. Households that receive an income from government jobs, private sources, and remittances reported agriculture being a laborious and difficult task. Addressing these mediating factors along with the provision of effective crop insurance and subsides for the lower-income segments of the population, has the potential to (re)engage rural households in farming activities. Such an approach could provide a way to realize the government’s plans to commercialize smallholder farming.

Abstract The environment is a prime concern in the mining industry because of its adverse impact on the solid, liquid, and gaseous surroundings. These three parts of the environment are directly connected to agricultural production. As the Barapukuria coal mine is located in the agricultural zone, its effects can be crucial. Previously, the impacts of the subsidence of the Barapukuria coal mining area were studied. So far, there is no significant study regarding its effects on agriculture. This research has focused on the impacts of the disposed water from the Barapukuria coal mine on the nearer aquaculture and agricultural fields. Therefore, the BOD, COD, DO, TDS, TSS, SS, residual chloride, hardness, alkalinity, carbon, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, sulphate, etc., being present in the disposed-water were analyzed in this study. The values of BOD, COD, DO, pH, TSS, TDS, and TS were lied in the best optimum range to cultivate crops and fisheries. It is also found that the disposed-water of the Barapukuria coal mine is tolerable for agriculture.

Full textAbstract:
Informatics is one of the important branches of Applied Sciences. It is a practicing area and also a field of study. The applications of Informatics in different areas and knowledge field has created various subjects and among these, one of important and emerging is Agricultural Informatics; which is the Information Science and Technology applications in the agriculture as well allied areas. In other words, techniques and technologies of both the fields i.e. Informatics and Agriculture lead the birth of Agro Informatics. The management and analysis of agricultural data with the help of Computing and IT may also be called as Agricultural Informatics. There are many allied nomenclatures of the field, but all are related and closely connected. In short, it is also called as Agro Informatics. Initially, it was treated only as a practicing area in the agriculture, horticulture, and veterinary sciences; but gradually it is a study area with different levels of programs at various universities and institutions, internationally. However, in the developed nation it is more common and widely available. Agro Informatics is an interdisciplinary field and very diverse. There are many features and functions, roles due to its timely need. This is a conceptual and policy-based research hence various aspects of Agro Informatics including its feature, functions, stakeholders, technologies including allied branches are mentioned. The paper also highlighted the proposed and possible programs of this field in academics in the field of Agricultural Sciences, as an empirical and policy research.
