Abstract:

Nowadays, agricultural systems are asked to satisfy the increasing global demand for food and fiber for a growing population. The intensification of the current systems in term of inputs and outputs lead to raising the concerns about the impact on the environment. Considering the background found in literature and its highlighted gap, the hypothesis of this thesis are (1) to survey within-farm soil and yield variability in order to delineate the homogeneous zones and productive potential; (2) study the synergy between conservation agriculture and precision agriculture allowing the optimization

Abstract:

Due to growing global concern regarding climate change and CO2 emissions, the use of soil as a potential carbon (C) sink has become increasingly recognised as a potential mitigation measure. Global agricultural soil has the estimated capacity for sequestering C at around 20 to 30 Pg (Peta grams) of C over the next 50 to 100 years if correct land management practises are applied. The benefits on improving soil C levels are not limited to reduced CO2 emissions and climate change mitigation however. It is widely accepted that improved organic C levels provide an array of positive benefits, includ

Abstract:

With changes in climate and increasing resource scarcity in the future, transition towards a more sustainable and resilient agriculture system that promotes maintenance of a range of ecosystem services is important. Meanwhile, significant global greenhouse gas reduction targets require all sectors including agriculture to take radical actions immediately. Carbon farming is a promising approach which can contribute to mitigating climate change, increase soil accumulation and fertility, enhance ecosystem services and increase productivity within a range of farming systems. Currently, Sweden does

Abstract:

Carbon sequestration in small-scale farming systems in semi-arid regions offers the possibility to increase local soil fertility, improve crop yields, enhance rural people's wellbeing, and strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems while reducing CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere and, thus, contributing to climate change mitigation. A variety of management practices and land use options have been proposed to increase carbon uptake and reduce system losses. So far, less attention has been paid to local smallholders, the ultimate agents of anticipated community carbon projects, and the c

Abstract:

Brown macroalgae or brown seaweed is a promising source of ethanol that may avoid the challenges of arable land use, water use, lignin content, and the food vs. fuel debate associated with first generation and cellulosic ethanol sources; however, this promise is challenged by seaweed’s high water content, high ash content, and natural composition fluctuations. Notably, lifecycle studies of seaweed ethanol are lacking in the literature. To address this gap, a well-to-wheel model of ethanol production from farmed brown seaweed was constructed and applied to the case of Saccharina latissima farmi

Abstract:

Antibiotics are routinely used in modern livestock production systems to treat and prevent disease as well as to enhance livestock production and/or outputs. This widespread use of antibiotics has led to a growing worldwide interest in antibioticfree animal production. The addition of feed supplements such as nucleotides to improve intestinal health as well as the early development of the immune system needs to be investigated as an environmentally-friendly nutritional management activity. In this study four (4) groups of newborn Holstein calves (n=24) were evaluated after being treated

Abstract:

University of Technology Sydney. Faculty of Science.<br>In Australia, between 2016 and 2017, aquaculture products made up 44% of Australian seafood product in value, reaching over $1.35 billion in production value. One of the top five profitable Australian aquaculture products during this period were edible oysters which is worth more than $112 million in production value. Oysters are fed with live microalgae (including diatoms) during the larval, juvenile and adult stages of growth, as are other shellfish, some crustaceans, shrimps/prawns and fish. The rearing of oysters and other aquacultur
