1. Mechanisation of smallholders in Zambia by agrodealer development The main challenges hampering agricultural mechanization in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are affordability, availability, lack of farmer skills and constraints within the private sector. Smallholders are trapped in a vicious circle of low income, low demand, high cost, and lack of financing. Low capacity and lack of support for mechanisation contractors (agrodealers) to succeed is holding back the development. The objectives of this work were (i) to assess the affordability of mechanisation systems... S. Peets, S. Woods Download paper
2. The Vision of Future Earth Observation for Agriculture The main objective of EO4AGRI is to catalyze the evolution of the European capacity for improving operational agriculture monitoring from local to global levels based on information derived from Copernicus satellite observation data and through exploitation of associated geospatial and socio-economic information services. EO4AGRI assists the implementation of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) with special attention to the CAP2020 reform, to requirements of Paying Agencies, and... K. Charvat, V. Safar, H.

3. Using Site-Specific Management Zones for Potato Crop Management, East Nile Delta, Egypt The field management zones (MZ) delineated using soil electrical conductivity (EC) and topographic parameters are the basis for site-specific crop management (SSCM). The objective of this paper was to delineation site-specific management zones of 155 feddans (67.2 ha) of a potato pivot field at East of Nile Delta, Egypt for use in smart farming based on spatial variability of soil and plant properties, yield and topographic attributes. The salinity measurement in the field... A.B. Belal, E.S. Mohamed, M.E. Jalhoum, M. Zahran, M.A. Abdellatif, M.S. Emam, E.A. Hendway
4. An Open Source Multispectral Camera for Crop Monitoring Precision agriculture is one of the most important economic issues of the 21st century because it will make it possible to respond to the new challenges of agriculture, which are population growth, global warming, global epidemics, and inflation, to name a few. Remote sensing makes it possible to monitor the plantation from a distance and makes it possible to know the level of growth and the state of health and hydration of the plants. This paper outlines an affordable and open-source multispectral... H. Nardjes, M. Yagoubi Download paper
5. A Time Series Investigation to Assess Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts on the Degradation of Nile Delta, Egypt. Land degradation risk, status and rate in Nile Delta, Egypt were assessed for a time series using remote sensing data over the past five decades using TM, ETM and OLI. Quantitative deterioration of the area was produced based on the comparative study approach in the integrated weighted sum, weighted overlay and fuzzy model. Where degradation factors were compiled in a raster and each data set scored on a 1 to 5 (very low, low, moderate, high and very high scale). The data sets were then weighted... B. Abdellatif, M.R.

6. Mapping the Spatial Variability, Status and Magnitude of Soil Acidity in Semen Ari District of South Omo, Southwestern Ethiopia Soil acidity is one of the major constraints to cropping systems in the vast highlands of Ethiopia. A common strategy for ameliorating soil acidity is the application of agricultural lime. However, formulation of measurement strategy was hampered by the lack of information on magnitude, extent and status of soil acidity and, high resolution soil acidity map. Therefore, this study was investigated to assess the magnitude and status of soil acidity, map its spatial variability in Semen... A.H. Hemacho
7. Evaluating Soil Organic Matter Under a No-Till System Using Digital Sensors (EM38 and MSP3) Agriculture, especially in no-till systems, plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security. The pressure on agricultural lands due to a growing population and climate change necessitates innovative solutions. Proximal soil sensing using electromagnetic induction (EMI) and electrical conductivity (ECa) sensors has gained prominence. These technologies provide rapid, non-destructive measurements of soil properties, offering advantages over remote sensing and laboratory analyses. In... H. Hajjaj, K. Ibno Namr, E. Abdellah , C.
