Food is a necessary aspect of human life, and agriculture is
crucial to any country's global economy. Because the food business
is essential to both a country's economy and global economy,
artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart solutions are needed to
assure product quality and food safety. The agricultural sector is
constantly under pressure to boost crop output as a result of
population growth. This necessitates the use of AI applications.
Artificial Intelligence Applications in Agriculture and Food
Quality Improvement discusses the application of AI, machine
learning, and data analytics for the acceleration of the
agricultural and food sectors. It presents a comprehensive view of
how these technologies and tools are used for agricultural process
improvement, food safety, and food quality improvement. Covering
topics such as diet assessment research, crop yield prediction, and
precision farming, this premier reference source is an essential
resource for food safety professionals, quality assurance
professionals, agriculture specialists, crop managers, agricultural
engineers, food scientists, computer scientists, AI specialists,
students, libraries, government officials, researchers, and
academicians.
Costa Rica After Coffee explores the political, social, and
economic place occupied by the coffee industry in contemporary
Costa Rican history. In this follow-up to the 1986 classic Costa
Rica Before Coffee, Lowell Gudmundson delves deeply into archival
sources, alongside the individual histories of key coffee-growing
families, to explore the development of the co-op movement, the
rise of the gourmet coffee market, and the societal transformations
Costa Rica has undergone as a result of the coffee industry's
powerful presence in the country. While Costa Rican coffee farmers
and co-ops experienced a golden age in the 1970s and 1980s, the
emergence and expansion of a gourmet coffee market in the 1990s
drastically reduced harvest volumes. Meanwhile, urbanization and
improved education among the Costa Rican population threatened the
continuance of family coffee farms, because of the lack of both
farmland and a successor generation of farmers. As the last few
decades have seen a rise in tourism and other industries within the
country, agricultural exports like coffee have ceased to occupy the
same crucial space in the Costa Rican economy. Gudmundson argues
that the fulfillment of promises of reform from the co-op era had
the paradoxical effect of challenging the endurance of the coffee
industry.
