Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knjiga osvetljuje kmetijsko obremenjevanje v izbranih slovenskih pokrajinah. Preučevanja so zajela štiri poglavitne slovenske pokrajinske tipe: ravnine, gričevja, hribovja in kraške pokrajine. Terensko raziskovanje na ravni kmetij je potekalo v 18 pokrajinah. Anketiranih je bilo 1006 kmetij in analiziranih 162 vzorcev vode. V ospredju obravnave so kmetije kot razpršeni viri tovrstnega obremenjevanja. Predstavljeni so razširjenost obremenjevanja po posameznih pokrajinah, notranje razlike, pokrajinska povprečja, primerjava med pokrajinami in med pokrajinskimi tipi ter skupno povprečje vseh obravnavanih pokrajin. Avtorica obravnava različne oblike kmetijskega obremenjevanja, njihovo intenzivnost, išče povezave med družbenogospodarsko sestavo kmetij in načini kmetovanja. Prikaže glavne dejavnike, ki vplivajo na kmetijsko onesnaženost pokrajine, predstavi pa tudi okoljsko ozaveščenost kmetovalcev.
Download or read book Ecologically Based Weed Management written by Nicholas E. Korres and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecologically Based Weed Management Protect crop yields and strengthen ecosystems with this essential guide Research into weed management is an increasingly critical component of both environmental stewardship and food production. The potential cost of weed propagation can be measured in crop yield reductions, under-nourished populations, stymied economies, and more. The propagation of herbicide-resistant weed populations means that purely chemical weed management is no longer viable; food production can now be secured only with an ecological approach to weed control. Ecologically Based Weed Management details such approaches and their potential to manage weeds across a range of agricultural and environmental contexts. It emphasizes the deployment of ecological principles to prevent weed infestations, reduce crop losses, and strengthen ecosystems. In a time when growing population and changing climates are placing enormous pressure on global food production, this approach to weed management has never been more vital. Ecologically Based Weed Management readers will also find: A global team of expert contributors to a multidisciplinary approach Detailed discussion of topics like herbicide limitation, integrated weed management, and more Insights pertinent to agriculture, academia, government, industry, and more Ecologically Based Weed Management is ideal for researchers in agriculture chemistry, weed science, agronomy, ecology, and related fields, as well as for regulators and advanced students.

Download or read book Food Ethics written by Ben Mepham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: None of us can avoid being interested in food. Our very existence depends on the supply of safe, nutritious foods. It is then hardly surprising that food has become the focus of a wide range of ethical concerns: Is the food we buy safe? Is it produced by means which respect the welfare of animals and sustain the land? Are modern biotechnologies employed in food production immoral? This book addresses such issues by applying ethical principles to many areas of current concern. The contributors provide original and thought-provoking treatments of a number of highly topical issues - from global hunger and its ethical implications to the cultural habits affecting consumption. This interdisciplinary study will prove to be essential reading for all those concerned with food, as professionals, students or consumers.

Book excerpt: "The potential benefits of ‘doing things more precisely’ in agriculture include terms such as environmental, economic, audit trail, vehicle guidance, crop management and others. Whilst some benefits have proved elusive, others are contributing positively to today’s agriculture. In such an environment, continuing research is required - and needs to be reported and disseminated to a wide audience. These Proceedings contain papers presented at the 5th European Conference on Precision Agriculture, held in Uppsala, Sweden. The papers reflect the wide range of disciplines that impinge on precision agriculture - technology, crop science, soil science, agronomy, information technology, decision support, remote sensing and others. Peer-reviewed papers from the 2nd European Conference on Precision Livestock Farming are presented in a companion proceedings, Precision Livestock Farming ’05."
