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 ...

Carbon farming is a nature-based solution to capture atmospheric CO2 and store it as soil organic carbon (SOC). Carbon farming trading schemes (CFTS) incentivize farmers to adopt these practices. Integral to CFTS is forecasting SOC changes, typically achieved using traditional multicompartmental&...

Banana fruits are susceptible to chilling injury (CI) under field conditions, which significantly impairs fruit quality. Cold tolerance varies among genotypes; however, only a limited number of cultivars have been identified as tolerant and are commercially cultivated. This study aimed to in...

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&...

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 weight...

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 ...
