From this perspective, economists often propose that farmers should pay for the real value of the water they use for irrigation. Because of the presence of subsidies, the real value of water in agriculture is different from the price paid by farmers.It is also different from the cost of delivery, which does not account for …

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 …
The Mthatha River provides drinking and irrigation water to the residents in the catchment area
Alternatively, information providers can strategize with farmers on how to deal with inevitable trade-offs.Additionally, information providers that find it challenging to generate feedback from farmers based on their mode of WIS delivery may consider using a selection strategy that enables different categories of farmers to be selected across the district to give their opinion about …
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 . …

New technologies frequently carry an important price tag
The last argument concerns the welfare of the individual animal. Cows have proved to have high diversity in their learning curve with some animals displaying a consistent need for cues and stimuli even after a long period. The negative sides of VF use include the risk of animal long-term exposure to the electric stimulus, negatively …

Supervisor can read the new query or complaint and based on the content, assigns it to one of the agro-experts with relevant expertise. Upon assignment, the status of the query or complaint is automatically changed to ‘in process’ by the system and …
It is also identified as a major knowledge gap by other policy researchers
The number of participants in the control group should be twice as many as that of the treatment group to ensure a higher number of matched samples. Consequently, the target number of study participants was 1152. Data from the DCP and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development were used during the pilot testing of the …
