1. Application of precision agriculture technologies in grazing: example of goats browsing in forest rangelands of Northern MoroccoThe aim of this study was to characterize patterns of grazing behavior of goats in a Mediterranean forest rangeland. We conducted a one-year study in the Chefchaouen region, Northern Morocco, during two contrasting seasons (spring and summer) using new technological tools. Eight goats were simultaneously fitted with GPS collars and sensors for 3 days during each season. A calibration study and classification tree analysis were used to predict other grazing activities of goats (eating, walking,... Y. Chebli, S. El otmani, M. Chentouf, J. Hornick, J. Cabaraux |
2. Leveraging Precision Agriculture Education for Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-saharan AfricaImproved agricultural productivity and access to safe and nutritious food is critical to meeting south Saharan Africa (SSA)’s growing food demand and for improving incomes for smallholders in the region. This has to be done in ways that do not compromise natural capital but secure ecosystem functions and services. With almost 60 percent of the region’s population under the age of 25, Precision Agriculture (PA) education for SSA youth is crucial. PA offers the potential to transform... K.A. Frimpong |
3. Smart or Precision Agriculture Technology to Mitigate Climate Change for Sustainable Agriculture DevelopmentAgriculture is one of the economic sectors that affect climate change contributing to Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions directly and indirectly.The main goal of the Precision Agriculture (PA) or Smart Agriculture (SA), hypothesize that the increase in crop production and hence food security can be achieved by enhancing the productivity and efficiency of the presently cultivated soils and reclamation of new lands for crop production. Agriculture remains to be one of Egypt’s most important sectors... A. Belal |
