Its emergence is a result of the negative impacts of intensive farming methods, which include the use of heavy machinery, fertilizers, and pesticides with the main focus of maximizing food production. Regenerative agriculture is …
Overview The use of robotics applications in the machinery design and task execution has resulted in an increase in research and investment in the application of agricultural machinery in precision agriculture. Operating, directing, and controlling autonomous machines to perform agricultural tasks is known as precision autonomous farming. It spurs interest in agricultural robotics. Autonomous vehicles are anticipated to play a …
Farmers market and consumer’s appetite for local produced food is ever exploding.

Precision Agriculture, Satellite Farming or Site-Specific Crop Management Precision agriculture is based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability of crops to manage crop farming. Precision agriculture is also known as satellite farming or site-specific crop management process. Nowadays, in agriculture, plant breeding and genetic transformation have gained much importance as it accelerates crop quality which ultimately …
The Agriculture and Climate can be said to be inextricably linked where climate tends to play a vital role in agricultural production. The major factor behind the change in climate is the emission of “greenhouse” gases in the atmosphere quintessentially from burning fossil fuels. This very effect of the change in climate can be easily witnessed in the Agriculture sector by means …
Africa is a continent plagued by poverty and inequality. There is a huge discrepancy in terms of educational procurement between the genders, originating the cause of female socio-economic and financial dependency which in turn subjects them to lifelong servitude and abuse. With the rigid social norms dictating separate distinctive roles for men and women, women are left with no access …
