The cost of upgrading farms using modern technology can be significant. Fortunately, there are a number of Canadian government grants for farmers, ranchers, and producers to alleviate these financial burdens. Technology plays a major role today in enhancing a farm’s production efficiency, yields and profits over the ...
Introduction In the intricate dance between agriculture and sustainable energy, a profound synergy emerges. This section unveils the symbiotic relationship between agricultural planting and the quest for innovative charcoal production solutions, ushering in an era where farming residues become the backbone of renewable energy. The Bounty of Agricultural Residues Jute Sticks: Fibrous Riches from ...
The Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft can be described as a kind of driveline component, specifically designed to transfer the power of a tractor's engine to an implement that is attached. This 8 Series PTO shaft is a step up from the seven Series PTO shaft and is specifically designed to provide greater durability and reliability for high-end applications. This PTO shaft model is constructed of ...
Supported by the Ministry of Agriculture the verification of energy crops by harvesting, monitoring the growth quality, promotion and consulting service on biomass utilization had been carried on in year 2005, 2006 and is onward in ...

The paper aims at providing a framework to calculate the agro-eco-compensation standard based on the systems agro-ecological concept of embodied energy as emergy. We have proposed a calculation system of eco-compensation standard for sustainable agricultural development based on the convertibility between emergy and price. According to our calculation, the total energy of agricultural ...
Human population is expected to soar to between 9 and 10 billion by 2050, with a growing number of people moving into the middle class and requiring more energy, natural resources and animal products. This combination of population growth and resource demand will put increased pressure on the planet’s resources, a fact that has interested parties from academia, nonprofits, ...

Located at Redrock Ranch in the heart of the almond capital of the world: California's San Joaquin Valley, Biodico is working in partnership with the ranch, APL and the California Energy Commission to study a wide range of alternative energy solutions. With easy access to diverse and plentiful agricultural waste, Biodico has installed a newly upgraded PP20 Power Pallet v5.0 at this project site. ...
We are confident that sustainable sanitation solutions will have a positive domino effect on the environment, health, water, energy, women, agriculture, food security, quality society, well being and stability through the engagement of social business partners, CSR companies, non profit organizations, United Nation, development programs and ...
The authors examine the complex history of the development of the Indus Basin and the challenges faced by Pakistan during the evolution of the Indus Basin Irrigation System and the country's responses to date. The Indus river system must meet the multiple needs of agriculture, energy and flood security. Pakistan's constitutional structure, in which the federation shares overall ...
Let’s know about them and how these steps are shaping our future. How energy requirements can be fulfill by converting the biomass waste into energy produced by agriculture. ...
We used simulation to study how three French sheep production systems could adapt to a new context created by a surge in cereal prices associated with changes in common agricultural policy support. The evaluation criteria were economic performance, energy efficiency, emissions of greenhouse gases, and sensitivity to technical and economic fluctuations. We found the most intensive system was the ...
Most sectors rely on energy as input to produce output. Though the use of energy by the agriculture sector is not as high as in other sectors, it is still necessary to study the links between the two. This is vital as there are only few studies that illustrate the bonds between them in Malaysia. This study resorts to input–output analysis to examine the link between the two sectors and ...
“With a larger and wealthier population, both energy and food demand will grow,” says John Reilly, the lead author of the study and the co-director of the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. ...
A case study to demonstrate the relationship between DPR and urban water supplies, agriculture, the environment, and energy conservation, based on Southern California and the California State Water Project. ...
Transition management has become an important topic in scientific research on sustainable development over the last decade. A recurring question is whether, and if so how, transitions towards sustainability can be governed. In this paper we address this question by theoretically comparing transition management theory with a number of related theories on governing societal change, such as ...
Increasing the production of energy from biomass (bioenergy) needn't come at the expense of growing food crops — done right, it can enhance food security and prosperity in Africa, say Lee R. Lynd and Jeremy Woods. Assessments of the impact of bioenergy on food security have focused too heavily on the drawbacks of competing for land, without considering the potential benefits for rural ...
This paper provides practical suggestions on how to integrate responses to global environmental threats into policies and projects in developing countries. It does so on the basis of an expert survey both among general development policy practitioners who have in the past been involved in efforts at such 'integration'; and among sectoral experts in two sectors where it will be crucial to ...
One of the primary challenges for developing countries is to create new opportunities for sustainable economic development through the use of new technologies such as biotechnology. In this context, the use of agricultural biotechnology to produce cheap biofuel made from agricultural crops as well as agricultural waste (cellulose) might have a great potential to promote rural development in ...
