0 likes•966 views
This document summarizes DuPont's 2014 corn stover harvest from 60,000 acres in central Iowa. The harvest occurred from September 26th to December 7th, spanning 72 days, due to a late corn planting season with rain, drizzle and snow. Corn stover provides both conservation benefits like reducing soil erosion and maintaining soil organic matter, but also has agronomic limitations like interfering with early crop growth. Field trials showed improved soil conditions at planting and faster stand establishment with stover harvest. On average, stover harvest increased corn yields by 5.2 bushels per acre. A financial analysis estimated farmers could gain $32 per acre in net profit from stover income, fertilizer replacement value, and yield increases.

This document discusses growing energy crops for anaerobic digestion (AD). It notes that every farm situation is different and energy crop selection should be based on complementing existing feedstocks, biogas needs, costs, and farm characteristics. Farms should not rely on a single crop to avoid financial risks from failure. While maize has a high biogas yield, not all farms can grow it reliably. Alternative crops mentioned include grass silage, wholecrop rye, cereals, beet, and miscanthus. The document stresses choosing crops that fit the farm, considering rotation, payments, and integration with existing operations. AD specialists can advise on balanced feedstock mixes and synergistic effects. Energy crops may provide a hedge against market

Organic farming...javaid
Traditional farming in India was organic, using only natural pesticides and manures. During the 1950s-60s, population growth led to food scarcity so the Green Revolution introduced high-yield crops and chemical fertilizers, increasing food production but damaging soils over time. As an alternative, organic farming works with nature by enhancing biological cycles, producing toxin-free foods while maintaining soil health through nutrient recycling without chemicals. Both organic and conventional farming have benefits and drawbacks, so policies aim to boost organic production and markets while improving yields sustainably.
Aeroponic presentation
This document provides information about aeroponics farming and the services offered by PSN Nutrac. Aeroponics is a farming method that grows plants without soil by misting the roots with nutrient solution. PSN Nutrac offers turnkey aeroponic systems, installation, training, and maintenance. Their systems use recycled water, require less space than traditional farming, and increase yields by 45-70%. PSN Nutrac works with various crops and provides commercial aeroponic designs for large-scale vegetable, rice, and yam production. Their services are meant to make farming easier and more profitable.
SRI Sindhdurg
The document discusses the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) farming method which can increase rice yields by 30-70% with reduced water, seeds, fertilizers and other inputs compared to traditional rice cultivation, helping to reduce pollution of coastal waters from agriculture; key advantages of SRI include much higher productivity from less land and inputs along with economic and environmental benefits; and the document proposes a plan to expand SRI to 1000 acres of rice fields across 3 districts in Maharashtra, India.
David Tompkins, Aqua Enviro
The document discusses the challenges with using digestate as a fertilizer. It notes that the inherent fertilizer value of digestate is modest, especially in the autumn, but that digestate can be more valuable than just the sum of its nutrients. However, waste-derived digestates are difficult to upgrade to increase their value. While digestate has some nutrient value as a fertilizer, this value is usually not enough to cover the costs of recovering and processing the digestate. Operators may need to upgrade digestate to guarantee having a market for it.
Rice vs. fish
Rice-field fisheries are an important source of food and income for rural households in Cambodia, providing 50-250 kg of fish per family per year. However, the intensification of rice cultivation through practices like increased pesticide use, changes in water management, and construction of irrigation infrastructure negatively impacts habitats and fish populations. While policies aim to increase rice production and fish catches, the mutually exclusive priorities could reduce aquatic productivity in rice fields. Potential options to mitigate these risks include reducing pesticide use, improving water management practices, establishing refuges, and involving local communities. Further research is needed to better understand the tradeoffs and ensure the benefits of intensification are distributed equitably.
Why sorghum
Sweet sorghum offers potential as a biofuel feedstock similar to sugarcane in Brazil. It has several advantages over other feedstocks like sugar cane, sugar beet, and corn, including high productivity of grains, stalks, leaves, and roots from multiple harvests per year. It has a shorter growing cycle, is drought tolerant, and can be grown in various soil conditions. Sweet sorghum is also easier and less energy intensive to process than other feedstocks, and its use would not affect food supplies.

This document summarizes research on integrating fish in rice-based farming systems in Bangladesh. It discusses how rice and fish have traditionally been integrated in rice fields and on plates in Bangladesh. However, population pressure, green revolution initiatives, and lack of technologies to cope with changing circumstances have threatened natural rice-fish culture. Research organizations in Bangladesh are working to develop improved concurrent and sequential rice-fish farming systems. Studies have found these integrated systems can provide higher economic returns than mono-cultivation of rice alone. The document recommends further strengthening research and development, community participation, and policy tools to help realize the potential of rice-fish integration in Bangladesh.

Kayode Empire Global Ventures plants cassava and processes it into foods like cassava flakes. It then recycles the cassava waste into biogas through anaerobic digestion. This process converts the waste into renewable energy sources to address Nigeria's energy needs, reduce deforestation, and provide clean cooking solutions. The company currently farms cassava on 7 hectares of land and processes the cassava. It generated $8,300 in revenue in 2018 from cassava sales and flakes. The goal is to utilize Nigeria's 14 million tons of annual cassava peel waste to produce biogas and displace kerosene and coal for cooking by 2022.

This document discusses sugar beet as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas production. Sugar beet has advantages as a rapid digesting and cost effective feedstock. However, delivering a consistent feedstock can be challenging due to variations. Issues include contamination and inconsistent storage. The document describes an AD plant in Germany that uses sugar beet and pressed pulp. It also discusses an agreement in the UK where sugar processors supply pressed pulp to AD operators, providing a more consistent feedstock while reducing drying costs for the processor. This agreement benefits both parties.
Training on Alternate Wetting and Drying (awd) in rice
Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) in rice cultivation can reduce water usage by 15-30% without reducing yields. AWD involves allowing fields to partially dry out between irrigation events, as opposed to continuous flooding. Key points of AWD include transplanting young seedlings into puddled soil and starting AWD 10 days after transplanting by allowing fields to dry out before re-flooding to 5 cm. Fields should be kept flooded at flowering. Studies have shown AWD can save 16-30% of irrigation water while maintaining yields, increasing profits and reducing competition for water resources. AWD also promotes better root growth, higher zinc availability in soil, and reduces methane emissions.

Sweet sorghum
This document discusses sweet sorghum, a drought-tolerant crop that can be used for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Sweet sorghum accumulates sugary juice in its stalk that can be extracted and used to produce ethanol. Research at ICRISAT has led to the development of improved sweet sorghum varieties with higher sugar content and juice yields. These varieties provide farmers with greater income opportunities compared to traditional crops. The document highlights impacts such as the release of new sweet sorghum hybrids in India and the Philippines and the provision of technical support to distilleries for cultivation and utilization of sweet sorghum.

FIRA 2016: Naïo Technologies Keynote
International Agricultural Robots Forum - 18/19 November 2016.
Naïo Technologies shared their view on agricultural robotics, which aim to improve access to healthy food for all, while respecting the environment.
“Over the last 60 years, world population has grown from 2 to 6.5 billion people. On the time scale of humanity, this increase is simply staggering,” stated Gaëtan Séverac, the Naïo Technologies COO. “Food is widely available in large quantities, but the increase in production has entailed undesirable consequences: a decrease in quality, a heavy burden on the environment, lots of waste and tough life conditions for farmers.” Naïo Technologies believes that the robotization of agricultural processes is inevitable to overcome these problems. Farmers will increasingly become farm managers, who will no longer have to execute repetitive tasks with little to no added value.
Subsequently, Aymeric Barthes, Naïo Technologies’ CEO, officially introduced the entire range of Naïo robots:
• The 2017 version of their -now famous- Oz robot, which weeds in between rows and is designed for vegetable, flower and tree farms. Today, 70 robots are already in use in France and across Europe;
• The Dino vegetable robot, a straddling robotic weeder for large-scale vegetable farms;
• The Ted vineyard robot, a straddling robotic weeder for vineyards;
• The Bob vineyard robot, a crawler robot for narrow vineyards.

Aristotle'[s view on Tragic Hero
This document discusses the key elements of tragedy and the tragic hero according to Aristotle. It defines tragedy as the literary representation of a serious action that ends in disaster for the protagonist. It explains that for Aristotle, the tragic hero is most effective if he is neither thoroughly good nor bad, but a mixture of both. The tragic hero must have four characteristics - nobility, a tragic flaw (hamartia), a reversal of fortune (peripetia) caused by his flaw, and recognition of his role in his downfall. Some other common traits of the tragic hero are that he suffers more than deserved, is noble but imperfect, understands his fate was self-inflicted, and arouses fear and empathy in the audience.
Elements of greek tragedy and the tragic hero
Greek tragedy dealt with themes of love, loss, pride and the abuse of power. The protagonists typically commit a terrible crime without realizing their arrogance, and then as they realize their error, destruction ensues. Key playwrights included Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Satyr plays made light of tragedy's characters and were performed between tragic acts. The Greeks believed fate determined events and one should not act with excessive pride or hubris, as this could lead to downfall. Aristotle defined tragedy as evoking pity and fear through a noble protagonist's demise due to an error, bringing catharsis to audiences.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
