The need to increase food production has become urgent. Pastoral farming systems based on grasslands in the tropics are essential players in this scenario, considering the surface area and stakeholders they represent. Improving productivity from existing grasslands can be a way forward ...

The Ecological-Economic Zoning (ZEE) analyzes the landscape potentialities and vulnerabilities   using different environmental information. This study identifies and prioritizes the components and environmental factors used for the diagnosis of Brazilian ZEEs at 1:250,000 scale. The methodological guidelines of...

Despite the growing relevance of Agriculture 4.0 technologies for enhancing productivity, decision-making, and sustainability in agri-food systems, their adoption remains uneven in developing-country contexts. This study aims to analyze the perceived severity and co-occurrence structure of barriers to Agri...

Abstract: In agricultural robotics and orchard automation, tasks such as fruit detection, tracking, and spatiallocalization are essential for applications like yield prediction and harvesting. However, these tasks arechallenging due to the similar appearance of fruits, occlusions, and the inherent dif...

Abstract: Cattle weight is essential for decision-making in precision livestock farming, directly supporting nutrition management, animal welfare, and production efficiency. Existing methods rely on close-range measurements or manual intervention, limiting scalability. This work proposes an workflow for cattle&...

Plant–pollinator interactions are essential to the functioning of natural and agricultural ecosystems. Although the volume of available data on these interactions is steadily increasing, their utility for integrative studies is limited by heterogeneity in data formats and poor documentation. The ...

Brazil has a deficit of 27 Mha of native vegetation in rural properties and the ambition to restore 12 Mha by 2030 (Nationally Determined Contributions—Paris Agreement), while the state of São Paulo has committed to reforesting 1.5 Mha by 2025. The regulation of payment for&#x...

Apple orchards are increasingly adopting anti-hail nets to mitigate climate risks; however, these structures alter canopy reflectance and pose challenges for remote sensing. This study presents an operational framework to map apple orchards under different netting conditions in Vacaria, Brazil. M...
