Smart farming also has the potential to reduce the risk of crop loss and failure due to climate change
Managing water quality in river and ground water ecosystems is another shared challenge for sustainable agriculture in both the U.S.and South Korea.Water quality is intrinsically tied to water storage levels, stream flow and climate change.When estimating future life-cycle eutrophication, Lee et al.found that eutrophication in the Midwest U.S.stays relatively steady when using the Representative Concentration Pathways …
A key aspect of the philosophy of regenerative farming is that it actively considers human well-being
The patterns of adaptive capacity, however, are biased because its factors of farming economic status and innovative capitals are both affected once metropolitan counties are removed.Overall, after excluding metropolitan areas, vulnerability remains the same with notably high rates in the northwest and southern margins of Iowa, and lower rates in northeast Iowa and central Iowa …

Ultrathin sections of the hepatopancreas from diseased shrimp were analyzed using TEM
The samples of the cephalothoraxes and muscle segment were fixed with 4 % PFA for 24 h at 4 ◦C and then transferred to a graded ethanol series for dehydration, followed by treatment with 100 % xylene and infiltrating in paraffin.The sections were obtained and stained with conventional H&E staining according to the previous procedures.Subsequently, the …
Approximately half of farmers on adaptable farms were highly educated
A set of variables representing farmers’ goals, the perceived barriers in achieving their goals, problems related to soil condition, and the approach for preventing waterway eutrophication were derived from content analyses, as these questions were open-ended. The responses were analysed with conventional content analysis, in which the coding categories were derived from the data . …
