Agriculture Residue

Agriculture residue is a promising resource of energy. It can be seen as a source of power production. In India, there is a huge amount of biomass available, but it cannot be used in proper ways, and with the help of GIS it can be customised. In the present paper, it is estimated that biomass reserves are available for power generation. The biomass produced by the surplus agricultural crops is reflected as a source of fuel for electricity generation. The data taken by satellite are useful for assessment of the areas with the help of satellite images taken in high resolution, which increases the preciseness of estimation. An agriculture cropland map with agricultural statistics has been analyzed in GIS to discover the agricultural straw potential for bioenergy generation. Due to unawareness about the benefits and uses of GIS, the modern farming sector bears a loss of huge bioenergy potential every year. To overcome the above mentioned challenges, the agricultural system needs a major shift from conventional farming to smart farming practices with the help of GIS. Agricultural waste is the best source for bioenergy production, and it can be used as biomass for meeting renewable energy goals in the country.

A huge amount of solid wastes are generated daily in Malaysia. A staggering amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) is produced by one person daily in both urban and rural areas. Apart from these there would also be wastes that come from sewage sludge, industrial waste, agricultural waste, and clinical waste. Statistics of waste generated in Malaysia from each sector mention is presented in this paper. As the population of the country keep expanding, so does the generation of solid waste. However, we could take advantage of the situation by converting these wastes into syngas; which is known to be potentially capable in replacing natural gas for industrial and consumer’s energy application. In addition, existing treatment and processing of biomass and solid fuels such as coal has been widely used in industrial scales to generate electricity. Treatment of solid waste is one of many ways to manage this massive amount of solid waste generated.

Agriculture Residue

The environment is a life support system and it significantly influences the living organisms and their genes. Decomposers and microorganisms play a major role in maintaining the sustainability of the environment by converting toxic products into a mineralized form and maintaining the nutrient cycle. It is estimated that 62% of the 22 million tons of surplus rice straw is burnt in the field every year and contributes significantly to the black carbon emission from biomass burning. This alarming situation calls for a sustainable approach in crop residue management. Mushroom cultivation offers one such approach. Mushroom farms can act as disposal sites of agriculture residue and at the same time produce quality protein to meet the increasing protein demand. The macro fungi can play a major role in synthesis of non-toxic metal nano-particles from their salts and degradation of diverse crop residues through various enzymes present in them such as ligninases, cellulases, and laccases. Their role also extends to degrading the pesticides and persisting chemicals. This chapter explains the recent advances in mushrooms for effective crop residue utilization.

Agriculture Residue

The agriculture sector produces significant amounts of organic residues and the choice of the management strategy of these flows affects the environmental sustainability of the sector. The scientific literature is rich with innovative processes for the production of bio-based products (BBP) from agriculture residues, aimed at the implementation of circular economy principles. Based on literature data, the present paper performed a life cycle assessment and assessed the environmental sustainability of five processes for the exploitation of rice and wheat straw, tomato pomace, and orange peel. The analysis identified as significant issues the high energy demand and the use of high impact organic solvent. The comparison of BBP with conventional products showed higher environmental loads for the innovative processes that used organic residues (except for rice straw case). The obtained results do not want to discourage the circular strategy in the agriculture sector, but rather to draw the attention of all stakeholders to the environmental sustainability aspects, focusing on the necessity to decrease the electricity demand and identify ecological agents to use in BBP manufacturing, in agreement with the most recent European policies.

Smart Agriculture

Over the past few years, the designing in smart agriculture system is a very important concept. Using smart farming techniques we can build up the crop yield, and concurrently attain better output from the input. In precision agriculture, a wireless sensor network brings a cost-effective solution to watch and manipulate. We already have many wireless protocols like Wi-Fi, Cellular, BLE (Bluetooth low energy), etc. Although this automation, not optimal for cultivation sensor nodes, there is a demand to send information to a great distance without an internet connection. This leads to boost the LoRa (Long range) technology, which can do very long-range transmission with the lowest cost [14]. The paper provides a brief survey of certain requirements for Smart Agriculture such as wireless sensor networks.

A common element revealed by comparative history of four Asian countries is a major shift in the momentum of agricultural growth from an extension of cultivation frontiers to an agricultural system that uses land more intensively. Improvements in land infrastructure, such as irrigation and drainage, are identified as preconditions for the development of land-saving farming technology. Public investments in land infrastructure were induced by the higher rates of return to irrigation construction and improvements than to new land opening.

Smart farming may also be called digital farming. The world is changing and digitizing at a quick rate. So all the work from agriculture to the stock market will become more productive and faster. Speed and efficiency play a key role in coping with the rapid pace of life and growing population. Smart agriculture has removed many of the problems faced by farmers during the conventional farming process. Several technologies are useful in this field, which make them work comfortably. Productivity in all areas of this sector can be increased with the aid of new technologies such as IoT and big data. Data can be accessed and analyzed from any part of the world with the help of IoT devices. The chapter offers insight into technology, such as big data and IoT, its applications in smart farming, as well as future innovations and opportunities.

Abstract Natural farming is a type of low-input sustainable agricultural system that is characterized by the avoidance of the use of any animal materials. Production of self-produced seeds by farmers is recommended under natural farming environments, with an expectation of improved crop growth and yield. However, there have been no scientific studies that investigated the performance of self-produced seeds under natural farming. This study investigated the germination rate, growth, and yield of carrots (Daucus carota L.) from different seed sources under natural farming. The main experimental factor was the cultivation method: CT – control; CF – conventional farming; NF1 – natural farming with tillage and compost input; and NF2 – natural farming without tillage and compost, and the subfactor was the seed source: OPN – open-pollinated seeds self-produced under natural farming; OPC – open-pollinated seeds produced under conventional farming; and HB – hybrid seeds. The germination rate of OPN seeds was higher than that of other seeds. In addition, root fresh weight and other root parameters of OPN were as high as for HB seeds. This suggests that using self-produced seeds by farmers improves crop performance in a natural farming system.
