This textbook addresses the most recent advances and main digital technologies used in farming. The reader will be able to understand the main concepts and techniques currently used to efficiently manage agricultural production systems. The book covers topics in a general and intuitive way, with examples and good illustrations.
This publication gives a wide-ranging perspective on the present state of mechanization in the developing world, and, as such, constitutes a solid platform on which to build strategies for a sustainable future. Farm mechanization forms an integral plank in the implementation of sustainable crop production intensification methodologies and sustainable intensification necessarily means that the protection of natural resources and the production of ecosystem services go hand-in-hand with intensified production practices. This requires specific mechanization measures to allow crops to be established with minimum soil disturbance, to allow the soil to be protected under organic cover for as long as possible, and to establish crop rotations and associations to feed the soil and to exploit crop nutrients from various soil horizons. This work is the starting point to help the reader understand the complexities and requirements of the task ahead.
A Agricultura Digital, ou Agricultura 4.0, representa uma grande revolução verde, com profundas mudanças na organização da produção e uso eficiente dos recursos naturais e insumos, por meio de inovações como automação e robótica; sensores que monitoram o solo, a planta e o clima; processamento e armazenagem dos dados em nuvem e inteligência artificial. O livro Agricultura Digital explica os avanços da tecnologia da informação e suas implicações e possibilidades nessa revolução digital da agricultura. Apresenta os conceitos básicos sobre geotecnologias e geoprocessamento e sua aplicação no campo, utilização de drones e sensores na agricultura, irrigação e bovinocult...
This book brings new smart farming methodologies to the forefront, sparked by pervasive applications with automated farming technology. New indigenous expertise on smart agricultural technologies is presented along with conceptual prototypes showing how the Internet of Things, cloud computing, machine learning, deep learning, precision farming, crop management systems, etc., will be used in large-scale production in the future. The necessity of available welfare systems for farmers’ well-being is also discussed in the book. It draws the conclusion that there is a greater need and demand today for smart farming methodologies driven by technology than ever before.
Keuntungan yang diperoleh dari industri makanan relatif kecil dibandingkan dengan keuntungan dari sektor lain, seperti sektor farmasi. Kenyataan ini mendorong para pelaku pasar dan produsen makanan melakukan pemalsuan produk makanan untuk memperoleh keuntungan yang besar. Salah satu komoditas pangan yang dipalsukan adalah minyak dan lemak makan (edible oils and fats). Sebagai contoh, minyak zaitun yang harganya mahal dapat dipalsukan dengan minyak sawit yang harganya sepersepuluh dari minyak zaitun. Bayangkan berapa keuntungan yang diperoleh jika seorang penjual minyak zaitun menyampur minyak zaitun dengan minyak sawit 1: 1, maka keuntungannya akan sangat besar sekali. Oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu metode analisis, baik secara fisika-kimia atau biologi molekuler untuk mendeteksinya. Buku ini membahas autentikasi makanan dengan berbagai teknik analisis seperti spektroskopi, kromatografi, differential scanning calorimetry, dan real-time polymerase chain reaction. Pada bagian pertama buku ini, diuraikan autentikasi minyak dan lemak. Dalam buku ini juga diuraikan prosedur analisis autentikasi minyak dan lemak sehingga memudahkan pembaca untuk melakukan analisis.
