Growing nutrient fertilization has imperiled freshwater resources throughout the world. There is a conflict of interest between farmers and local environmental organizations who are concerning about nutrient pollution in waterbodies. Adoption of[...]Article
P.B. Hegedus ; B. Maxwell ; J. Sheppard ; S. Loewen ; H. Duff ; G. Morales-Luna ; A. Peerlinck |Few mechanisms turn field-specific ecological data into management recommendations for crop production with appropriate uncertainty. Precision agriculture is mainly deployed for machine efficiencies and soil-based zonal management, and the tradi[...]Article
K. Mainali ; M. Evans ; D. Saavedra ; E. Mills ; B. Madsen ; S. Minnemeyer |Landscape scale wetland conservation requires accurate, up-to-date wetland maps. The most useful approaches to creating such maps are automated, spatially generalizable, temporally repeatable, and can be applied at large spatial scales. However,[...]Article
Cropping system models are deployed as valuable tools for informing agronomic decisions and advancing research. To meet this demand, early career scientists are increasingly tasked with building crop models to fit into these system modelling fra[...]Article
L'article s'intéresse aux nouvelles formes d'agriculture, concept issu essentiellement de la presse généraliste et qui correspond à des formes innovantes ou réinventées d'agriculture comme la permaculture, l'aquaponie, la culture sur toits, dans[...]Article
