Best agriculture practices in the current scenario of Climate Change and other Environmental Problems
The modern engineering work along with tractors and newly invented machinery has transformed the farming industry into one of efficient and mass production. No longer farming is a small scale production, but rather one that takes place with massive machines over thousands of hectares. This efficiency boost means that the world has access to any …

When Jerome Segura III leapt from the ivory tower of academia, he didn’t know what would be waiting for him when he hit the ground. The central Wisconsin resident quit his job as chief economist and assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 2018 because he was unhappy at work. He figured he …
When the 2018 Farm Bill finally made growing industrial hemp legal, farmers saw an opportunity. Thousands of American farmers across the country began growing hemp cannabis with low or nonexistent levels of the psychoactive THC—seeing a potential windfall of profits. But reports from the first year indicate that hemp may not be the financial savior it …

Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the impacts of climate change. The risks it faces are compounded by high rates of food and nutrition insecurity. As the climate continues to change, weather patterns grow more erratic and intense climate-related disasters more frequent, rates of food insecurity will rise even higher. …

Yield Level Use historical records and yield monitors to set realistic yield goals, which are at least 5 to 25 percent above average. Review the current management of agronomic factors used in growing each crop. Optimum yield levels are the result of using a package of all proven BMPs for agronomic factors such as variety …

Production demands, input requirements and environmental impacts taken together mean the risks for making the wrong nutrient use decisions is greater now than ever. When fertilizer BMPs result in increased production and input use efficiency, they also reduce losses to the environment. When making practice selection, the interconnectivity between practices addressing source, rate, time and …

Fertilizers are a essential component of sustainable crop production. When properly managed, fertilizers help address the challenge of increasing production in an economically viable way while retaining the ecological integrity of cropping systems. However, if nutrients are not adequately available within a crop production system, fertility is mined from the soil, and the crop will never …
The increasing percentage of carbon dioxide along with drought and increasing temperature is impacting the growth and development of plants, and particularly agricultue system. The Greenhouse effect and Climatic extremes Introduction Concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have increased from pre-industrial levels of about 270 μmol mol−1 to current concentrations of 360 μmol mol−1. …

Pakistan at the time of its birth had hardly enough arable land and surface water resources to achieve food security. In the 1960s the Dams and other associated water infrastructure were constructed, and a massive land-clearing and reclamation effort were undertaken. The area under cultivation saw an increase as did the yields through large-scale utilization …
Agribusiness is a combination of the words “agriculture” and “business” and refers to any business related to agricultural production. Companies in this industry encompass all aspects of food production.
