Aeroponics opportunities and threats
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics). The word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of aer (air) and ponos (labour).
Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics, aquaponics, and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses a liquid nutrient solution as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth; or aquaponics which uses water and fish waste, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. It is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics, since water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients.
TERMINOLOGY
Aeroponic growing refers to plants grown in an air culture that can develop and grow in a normal and natural manner.
Aeroponic growth refers to growth achieved in an air culture.
Aeroponic system refers to hardware and system components assembled to sustain plants in an air culture.
Aeroponic greenhouse refers to a climate controlled glass or plastic structure with equipment to grow plants in air/mistenvironment.
Aeroponic conditions refers to air culture environmental parameters for sustaining plant growth for a plant species.
Aeroponic roots refers to a root system grown in an air culture.
Use of biotechnologies to increase the storability and shelf life of fruit
The document discusses using biotechnology to increase the storability and shelf life of fruit. It notes that fruit currently has limited storability and shelf life, resulting in losses for growers and less food availability. Biotechnology can help by developing cultivars with better storage and shelf life through techniques like gene editing. Specific genes involved in ethylene production and cell wall degradation impact ripening and shelf life. New breeding techniques have the potential to precisely modify these genes in popular cultivars to extend shelf life while maintaining taste. This could help tropical crops like mango that currently have limited export opportunities due to short shelf life.

Lecture 1: Importance of Postharvest Technology
The document discusses postharvest technology, including:
1. Defining postharvest technology and explaining its importance in preventing food losses, improving nutrition, adding value to agricultural products, and generating jobs.
2. The three main objectives of postharvest technology are maintaining quality, protecting food safety, and reducing losses between harvest and consumption.
3. Common causes of postharvest losses in the Philippines include rough handling, inadequate cooling and temperature control, lack of sorting, and inadequate packaging. Proper temperature management and reducing damage is key to reducing losses.
Keeping food fresh
In order to keep horticultural produce fresh for longer, members of the supply chain have various post-harvest solutions available to them. However the effectiveness of these technologies is reliant upon an understanding of the physiology of the produce.
The laboratory of Dr Amanda J. Able at the University of Adelaide’s Waite Campus focuses upon gaining this understanding and the development of suitable post-harvest technologies.
Current research includes:
- developing the use of the ethylene action inhibitor, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), as a tool to extend shelf life of banana and determining the impact of 1-MCP on aroma, volatiles and consumer acceptability;
- understanding why capsicum does not ripen when harvested green;
- the effect of Ca and B application (pre- and post-harvest) on the development of grey mould; and;
- the effect of 1-MCP and controlled atmosphere storage on health qualities of apples (such as antioxidant content).
However, there is a real need to link post-harvest technology with an increase in the long term benefits that could be derived from food (especially for human health). The Able laboratory is now seeking to examine the impact of post-harvest technologies on bioactive compounds, their bioavailability and impact on human health.
Postharvest technology
Post harvesting management includes processes done immediately after harvesting produce like cooling, cleaning, sorting and packing. It is important as crops begin deteriorating after harvesting. Post harvesting largely determines final quality and minimizes 40% losses in fruits and vegetables due to improper handling, storage, packaging and transportation. Losses occur due to lack of infrastructure, technical support and organized marketing. Deterioration is caused by microorganisms, enzymes, insects and environmental factors like temperature and moisture. Proper post harvesting practices like pre-cooling, modified atmosphere packaging and storage in zero energy cool chambers can extend shelf life.

It aims to analyze how human capital, customer capital, innovative capital, and process capital (the inputs) impact maintainable customer relationships and human value added resources (the processes), which then influence corporate performance (the output).
The study develops six hypotheses about these relationships based on prior literature. It then tests the hypotheses on a sample of 56 healthcare companies using structural equation modeling. The results support most of the hypotheses, finding that innovative capital and efficient processes positively impact customer relationships and human resources, which then have indirect positive effects on performance. Maintainable customer relationships were found to have little direct impact on performance.
Intellectual Capital and Its Impact on Financial Performance: A Study of Oil ...
The study examines the Intellectual Capital (IC) performance of oil and gas sector of Pakistan over the period of 2007 to 2011 and its impact on corporate financial returns. The study uses value added intellectual coefficient (VAICit™) to measure IC performance and its various components of VAICit™ like (HCEit, SCEit and CEEit) and its impact on financial performance (ROEit, ROIit and EPSit). Micro panel data of oil and gas sector registered in KSE-100 index is collected from their consolidated annual reports over the period of 2007 to 2011. The IC performance is measured by Ante Pulic Model (VAICit™) and its effect on corporate returns (ROEit, ROIit and EPSit) is tested by Random Effect Model estimation. Hausman test suggests that study accepts null hypothesis (Chi2. Prop > 0.05) where for ui is uncorrelated with regressor means that random effect is preferred versus alternative fixed effect in all the proposed research models. The study reveals that VA is considered an important component for measuring the VAICit™ performance and it has positive and significant relationship with firm’s profitability (EPSit) and HCEit and SCEit have positive and significant relationship with firm’s financial performance (ROEit and ROIit) respectively. So, this study explores that Intellectual Capital Efficiency (ICE) has relatively larger contribution for measuring the VAICit™ performance where HCEit and SCEit execute substantive role to accelerate the financial performance of oil and gas sector of Pakistan as compare to tangible assets.
