Bio-Economy and Agri-Production: Concepts and Evidence bridges the
knowledge gap between sustainability and bio-economy aspects of
agri-production. It complements traditional perspectives of
agri-production with advanced engineering, information and
communication technologies recently applied in agri-business.
Including knowledgebased agriculture and reflecting sustainability
and circular economy principles, the book presents a holistic view
of sustainable bio-economy, contributing to the development of
integrated agricultural systems. As technology advances,
agricultural production management practices are now being called
upon to address the need for sustainability in the bio-economy.
Bio-Economy and Agri-Production: Concepts and Evidence presents
information to broaden the awareness and promotion of practices and
technology to reduce the use of inputs, protect health and
environment and improve resource-use efficiency. Topics that are
addressed include circular economy in agri-business, lifecycle
thinking, lean management, agri-chains, green production, and waste
management. Bio-Economy and Agri-Production: Concepts and Evidence
is a valuable reference for professionals, consultants, and policy
making stakeholders in biosystems engineering and agricultural
industries
This volume is the first (I) of four under the main themes of
Digitizing Agriculture and Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT). The four volumes cover rapidly developing
processes including Sensors (I), Data (II), Decision (III), and
Actions (IV). Volumes are related to 'digital transformation"
within agricultural production and provision systems, and in the
context of Smart Farming Technology and Knowledge-based
Agriculture. Content spans broadly from data mining and
visualization to big data analytics and decision making, alongside
with the sustainability aspects stemming from the digital
transformation of farming. The four volumes comprise the outcome of
the 12th EFITA Congress, also incorporating chapters that
originated from select presentations of the Congress. The focus in
this volume is on different aspects of sensors implementation in
agricultural production (e.g., types of sensors, parameters
monitoring, network types, connectivity, accuracy, reliability,
durability, and needs to be covered) and provides variety of
information and knowledge in the subject of sensors design,
development, and deployment for monitoring agricultural production
parameters. The book consists of four (4) Sections. The first
section presents an overview on the state-off-the art in sensing
technologies applied in agricultural production while the rest of
the sections are dedicated to remote sensing, proximal sensing, and
wireless sensor networks applications. Topics include: Emerging
sensing technologies Soil reflectance spectroscopy LoRa
technologies applications in agriculture Wireless sensor networks
deployment and applications Combined remote and proximal sensing
solutions Crop phenology monitoring Sensors for geophysical
properties Combined sensing technologies with geoinformation
systems

This volume is the last (IV) of four under the main themes of

Technologies (ICT). The four volumes cover rapidly developing

with the sustainability aspects stemming from the digital
transformation of farming. The four volumes comprise the outcome of
the 12th EFITA Congress, also incorporating chapters that
originated from select presentations of the Congress. The focus in
this volume is on the directions of Agriculture 4.0 which
incorporates the transition to a new era of action in the
Agricultural sector, represented by the evolution of digital
technologies in 4 aspects: Big Data, Open Data, Internet of Things
(IoT), and Cloud Computing. Under the heading of "Action," 14
Chapters investigate the implementation of cutting-edge
technologies on real world applications. It will become apparent to
the reader that the penetration of ICT in agriculture can result in
several benefits related to the sustainability of the sector and to
yield the maximum benefits, successful management is required. The
entire discussion highlights the importance of proper education in
the adoption of innovative technologies starting with the adaption
of educational systems to the new era and moving to the
familiarization of farmers to the new technologies. This book
covers topics that relate to the digital transformation of farming.
It provides examples and case studies of this transformation from
around the world, examines the process of diffusion of digital
technologies, and assesses the current and future sustainability
aspects of digital agriculture. More specifically, it deals with
issues such as: Challenges and opportunities from the transition to
Agriculture 4.0 Safety and health in agricultural work automation
The role of digital farming on regional-spatial planning The
enrollment of Social Media in IoT-based agriculture The role of
education in digital agriculture Real-life implementation cases of
smart agriculture around the world
