Beskrivning
In an era marked by climate change, resource depletion, and growing food demand, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of how smart farming practices can revolutionize agricultural sustainability. It presents a nuanced analysis of the technological, ecological, and economic dimensions of sustainable agriculture, providing a multifaceted understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this field.Born from a deep-seated concern for the future of agriculture and a recognition of the transformative potential of emerging technologies, the volume covers the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, blockchain, and precision agriculture and explores how these technologies can be harnessed to address critical issues in food production, resource management, and agricultural education. The chapters delve into the revolutionary potential of precision agriculture and sustainable intensive farming, providing with insight into how cutting-edge technologies are reshaping traditional farming practices and offering unprecedented levels of efficiency and sustainability. Chapters address agricultural open educational resources (OER), precision agriculture technologies, sustainable energy solutions for small-scale farmers, crop protection and food safety, pest management, plant disease detection, medicinal plant identification, natural resource management, agricultural water management, sustainable urban agriculture, environmental communication technology in farming, livestock management, business models of sustainable agriculture, and more.By weaving together these diverse yet interconnected topics, Energy-Smart Farming for Sustainable Management of Natural Resources offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the future of agriculture. It challenges readers to think critically about the integration of technology in farming, encouraging innovative approaches to longstanding agricultural and environmental challenges. Not merely a compilation of sustainable farming techniques, it is a roadmap for the future of agriculture, helping to provide the knowledge and analytical tools needed to navigate the complex interplay of technology, ecology, and economics in the ever-evolving world of sustainable farming.
