Digital Agriculture, Methods and Applications

Digital Agriculture, Methods and Applications

Redmond R. Shamshiri, Sanaz Shafian

<p>Digital Agriculture (DA) refers to the practice of modern technologies such as sensors, robotics, and data analysis for improving the sustainability and profitability of farms, while at the same time increasing crops’ yield and quality. Digitalization of agriculture is a technological response to climate change, global warming, and water scarcity that are affecting agricultural productivity and food security. Reports indicate that nearly one-quarter of the global greenhouse gas emissions comes from crop cultivation and livestock farming, which can significantly decrease crop yields. In modern farms, measurements from multiple in-situ sensors combined with images, maps, and data generated by satellites, drones, artificial intelligence, and prediction models are delivering detailed agronomic information on crop conditions and field variabilities to improve various aspects of farming practices whilst diminishing risks and uncertainties.</p>

Marketing for Sustainable Tourism

Marketing for Sustainable Tourism

Umberto Martini, Federica Buffa

<p>The Special Issue entitled "Marketing for Sustainable Tourism" deals with a topic currently debated both in the scientific community and inside business organizations at the global level. From the supply side, the adoption of sustainable business models has become vital to competition in the market. The interpretation of new trends, needs, and behaviors of tourists is essential both for business organizations and destinations to be the first movers in the definition of new products, services, and experiences. The tourism industry involves multiple sectors (e.g., hospitality, restaurant, transport, entertainment, and information and communication technology (ICT)) and the question of sustainability cannot be avoided. In addition, the tourism industry affects the economic growth of the destinations, as the offer of tourism products and services involves various stakeholders (public entities, private actors, and local communities) with different roles and amounts of power. Within this scenario, sustainable tourism must find a balance between the needs of stakeholders and the needs of tourists. Given this scenario, the complexity and the cross-disciplinary approach needed for sustainable tourism management and marketing are evident. Such complexity emerges from the variety of topics discussed in the 14 papers published in this Special Issue. The contributions analyze the marketing strategies adopted by tourism destinations and/or tourism enterprises to avoid overtourism, to manage mass sustainable tourism, and to encourage and promote sustainable tourism products and services. The different studies examine both choices and strategies of the actors involved in the tourism offer, and the choices, behaviours, and/or satisfaction levels of tourists, to identify the factors that can support and/or redefine business and destination marketing strategies. The papers provide a wide range of case studies conducted in various international tourist destinations (situated in Europe, USA, and Asia) based on many different research methods, techniques, and empirical analyses.<br></p>

Sustainable Tourism Marketing

Sustainable Tourism Marketing

Eduard Cristobal-Fransi, Natalia Daries

<p>Research on tourism marketing tends to place a greater focus on consumer behavior and its impact on destinations, as well as on the use of tourism services or products, than on sustainability. However, this field has a long tradition of research in aspects related to promoting tourism products and services that, from the perspective of both supply and demand, respect the environment and local communities. Sustainable tourism is a concept that demands more concreteness and action. It takes into account the economic, social, and environmental impacts of satisfying the current needs of visitors, the industry, the environment, and host communities without compromising the ability to meet the needs of future generations. Raising consciousness, on the part of society in general and the tourist in particular, about respectful consumption in regard to the environment is affecting the tourist industry. This situation is triggering changes in tourism activity programs that, in turn, imply changes in the ways both companies and tourist destinations are managed. Moreover, it has generated marketing management committed to themes of sustainability and consumer behavior, marketing of sustainable products, product design and green brands, labeling, and advertising. The objective of this book is to analyze the main contributions made as a result of research related to sustainable tourism-marketing management and current trends in this field. Therefore, the book collects contributions about the marketing of destinations and the marketing management of companies and tourism organizations from a sustainable tourism perspective. The studies highlighted analyze the marketing strategies adopted by tourism companies and institutions or tourist destinations in order to manage visitors in a sustainable manner, promote the destination in marginal areas, promote territorial balance, or analyze the effect of tourism on the consumption of local products and the economic development of host communities. We consider this book to contribute to better management and the dissemination of sustainable tourism, thus helping destinations and the tourism industry commercialize products or services that respect the environment.<br></p>

Agriculture for Improved Nutrition: Seizing the Momentum

Agriculture for Improved Nutrition: Seizing the Momentum

Shenggen Fan, Sivan Yosef, ...

<p>Policy makers, practitioners and scholars working at the intersection of agriculture and nutrition are living in an unprecedented time. Never before has there been such a flurry of activity in reimagining the many ways in which our food and agricultural system can be fundamentally transformed to improve the nutrition of billions of people around the world.</p><p>In just under a decade, researchers have produced more and more literature that clearly describes the conceptual links between agriculture and nutrition, and what agricultural interventions are getting right – and what they are getting wrong – in tackling malnutrition. Practitioners have heard the call and begun improving the design of their programming, so much so that many agriculture–nutrition interventions now measure dietary diversity and women’s empowerment in their day-to-day work. Policy makers are forming influential policy mechanisms at the global and regional levels, including from the United Nations, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, and multilateral and bilateral donor agencies, that call on multiple sectors, including agriculture, to combat malnutrition. Many countries are integrating nutrition into their agriculture plans, and others are laying out accountability mechanisms for the agriculture sector within their nutrition strategies. These plans reflect shifting national priorities towards nutrition and agricultural growth, and we are seeing a proliferation of tools, training programs and expert communities that together are building capacity for carrying out agriculture–nutrition work.<br></p>

Sustainable Textile Marketing

Sustainable Textile Marketing

Hafeezullah Memon, Xiaoke Jin

<p>Sustainability has become a vital issue in the textile and garment industry. Over the years, the sector has implemented various initiatives and practices to reduce its environmental impact. Today, almost all apparel brands, retailers, and supply chain partners of textiles and garments encourage sustainability throughout the product lifecycle; in addition, sustainability has become an increasingly important theme for consumers. For instance, one recent comparative study about sustainable textile consumption of young millennials in two countries, the US and China, with data collected from 379 Chinese college students and 590 US college students, revealed that sustainability is a large and influential consumer segment for textile and garment consumption.<br></p>

The Convergent Evolution of Agriculture in Humans and Insects

The Convergent Evolution of Agriculture in Humans and Insects

Ted R. Schultz, Richard Gawne, ...

<p>Biology is a leading science in this century. As in all other sciences, progress in biology depends on the interrelations between empirical research, theory building, modeling, and societal context. But whereas molecular and experimental biology have evolved dramatically in recent years, generating a flood of highly detailed data, the integration of these results into useful theoretical frameworks has lagged behind. Driven largely by pragmatic and technical considerations, research in biology continues to be less guided by theory than seems indicated. By promoting the formulation and discussion of new theoretical concepts in the biosciences, this series intends to help fill important gaps in our understanding of some of the major open questions of biology, such as the origin and organization of organismal form, the relationship between development and evolution, and the biological bases of cognition and mind. Theoretical biology has important roots in the experimental tradition of early-twentieth-century Vienna. Paul Weiss and Ludwig von Bertalanffy were among the first to use the term theoretical biology in its modern sense.</p><p>In their understanding the subject was not limited to mathematical formalization, as is often the case today, but extended to the conceptual foundations of biology. It is this commitment to a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary integration of theoretical concepts that the Vienna Series intends to emphasize. Today, theoretical biology has genetic, developmental, and evolutionary components, the central connective themes in modern biology, but it also includes relevant aspects of computational or systems biology and extends to the naturalistic philosophy of sciences.</p>

Digital Peripheries: The Online Circulation of Audiovisual Content from the Small Market Perspective

Digital Peripheries: The Online Circulation of Audiovisual Content from the Small Market Perspective

Petr Szczepanik, Pavel Zahrádka

<p>This book does not aim to address exhaustively all aspects of unevenness in cross-border audiovisual circulation and all types of small and peripheral media markets. Rather, it takes as its point of departure primarily the region of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), and especially the so-called Visegrad countries, and expands in scope to other European and non-European cases of smallness and peripherality, such as Belgium, Greece and Canada. The advantage of starting with CEE is that it not only connects small sizes and peripheral positions, but also that it opens a new perspective on the EU media and cultural policymaking debates, in which this particular region has remained surprisingly underrepresented. Our focus on CEE, part of the former Eastern Bloc, also provides a fresh perspective on globalization. Having been drawn into the Western media economy only recently, the region remains affected by political and industrial legacies of state socialism while still tending to some degree to approach transnational media as something foreign and imported. With the recent surge in nationalism, illiberalism and the politicization of media in some of the CEE countries and with its status, at the same time, as a key growth market for transnational online services (Ampere Analysis 2019), the region offers an illustrative case for studying the post-globalization tendencies in both industry practice and media policymaking (see Imre 2019). However, we chose not to frame the book's geographic focus as "post-socialist," not only because many of the chapters discuss Western European or non-European markets, but also because the concept imposes a restrictive epistemology that defines the present in terms of one historical rupture (the collapse of state-socialist regimes) and privileges a "territorial notion of space as bounded container" (Müller 2019: 538), while instead we seek to identify links and continuities, similarities and differences across various cases of the small and the peripheral.<br></p>

Improving the global exchange of germplasm for crop breeding

Improving the global exchange of germplasm for crop breeding

Selim Louafi

<p>Different norms, rules and practices (referred as institutions) organize the exchange of germplasm to address broader global challenges such as advancement of science and innovation, food security, sustainable agriculture and global equity. Some of these institutions are now embedded in various treaties and national regulations. This chapter demonstrates that these regulations are not as successful as they could be because they only partially integrate the complexity of the germplasm exchange environment. In order to better understand how germplasm exchange could be improved, it is important to go beyond the often-employed legalistic approach to examine the social contexts in which exchange takes place.</p>

Digital Gaming and the Advertising Landscape

Digital Gaming and the Advertising Landscape

Teresa de la Hera

<p>According to the game scholar Ilya Vedrashko, the origin of advergames can be dated to the early 1980s, and it is even possible to find some precedents in the 1960s and '70s (Vedrashko, 2006b). However, the term was not coined until 2000, when the entrepreneur Anthony Giallourakis, owner of the domain www.advergames.com, understood that "the market for interactive casual Internet based gaming would be too appealing to corporations for them to ignore the marketing and branding opportunities associated with casual gaming on the Internet" (Giallourakis, n.d., para. 1) and decided to coin the concept and buy several domains related to it.<br></p><p>The evolution of the game industry and changes in the advertising landscape in recent years are responsible for this increasing interest of marketers in using digital games for advertising purposes. The development of new technologies and the spread of broadband and mobile devices have facilitated the growth of the game industry' and the popularization of digital games, which undoubtedly are related to the increasing interest in the use of digital games as a marketing strategy.</p>

Agricultural Meteorology and Climatology

Agricultural Meteorology and Climatology

BRANISLAVA LALIC, JOSEF EITZINGER, ...

<p>The textbook “Agricultural Meteorology and Climatology” is an attempt to record on paper one hundred cumulative years of teaching experience of its authors and over 15 years of their joint work during which extensive discussions were carried on about meteorological education of future agronomists.</p><p>Following the example of our predecessors who bestowed on us text-books of lasting value, we tried in this book to give a balanced presentation of basic meteorological elements and processes, meteorological measurements, and the application of meteorological knowledge in agriculture.<br></p><p>Particular attention was given to the effect of plants on physical processes in the atmosphere, as well as to the impact of atmospheric processes on plants.<br></p>

Managing Sustainable Luxury and Digitalization

Managing Sustainable Luxury and Digitalization

Mario D. Schultz, Peter Seele

<p>Research about luxury constantly reinvents the concept of luxury and what it is and what it is about. So is the moral perception about luxury, particularly as old- fashioned definitions do not hold anymore, such as the distinction of necessity goods and luxury goods, or the economic definition of increased demand depending on income rise. More sociological definitions link luxury to different societal "codes" and communication to form identity. Luxury thus contributes to social distinction in postmodern societies - and therefore goes back to the landmark theory of luxury from Thorstein Veblen (1899) on conspicuous consumption in his "theory of the leisure class."<br></p><p>However, the new aspect of understanding luxury and managing luxury prod- ucts and brands is moral - beyond the criticism of decadence and issues of social injustice: luxury consumption and behavior have been identified as one of the key drivers of climate change. As the nongovernmental organization Oxfam reported in 2020, it is the richest 1 percent who "were responsible for 15% of cumulative emissions, and 9% of the carbon budget" and the "richest 10% of the world's popu- lation (c. 630 million people) were responsible for 52% of the cumulative carbon emissions - depleting the global carbon budget by nearly a third (31%) in those 25 years [from 1990-2015] alone" (Oxfam International 2022, 2). So, the income- elasticity aspect of luxury finally leads to contributing in an exponential way to the environmental problems the world and the world population are facing. Private jets, 12-cylinder cars, and private homes with 500; 1,000; or 10,000 square meters of construction add to increased emissions, particularly in a per-head count metric. In the realm of digital technologies, the environmental dimension also plays a role. Blockchain identifiers (see Chapters 6 and 8) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are increasingly important for luxury marketing, but also add to climate change through increased emissions.</p>

Agriculture & Food Systems to 2050

Agriculture & Food Systems to 2050

Rachid Serraj

<p>This book series will address topics related to some of the biggest challenges facing societies around the world in the 21st century — threats such as climate change, food insecurity and malnutrition, energy and water insecurity, pandemics, conflict and violence, growing inequality and poverty, low fertility and depopulation in affluent countries, anemic economic growth and stubbornly high unemployment in much of the developed world, and rising rates of obesity and chronic diseases in developing countries. If unaddressed, these challenges have a real chance of derailing the substantial gains in living standards and quality of life achieved around the world in the last three decades.</p><p>The World Scientific Series in Grand Public Policy Challenges of the 21st Century, under the leadership of Professor Anil Deolalikar, a renowned development economist, seeks to fill this gap. It will strive to publish high-quality scientific works, including monographs, edited volumes, references, and handbooks, that address topics related to the grand challenges confronting societies around the world today.</p>

Bioeconomy: Shaping the Transition to a Sustainable, Biobased Economy

Bioeconomy: Shaping the Transition to a Sustainable, Biobased Economy

Iris Lewandowski

<p>Feeding a growing population is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century. However, 200 years ago, it was this very same challenge that initiated the foundation of the University of Hohenheim in 1818. Three years earlier, in 1815, the volcano Tambora erupted in Indonesia. This local geological event had tremendous impact on the global climate. The eruption ejected huge quantities of ash into the atmosphere, causing two ‘summers without sun’.</p><p>In Europe, lower temperatures led to poor crop growth, resulting in famine and riots. On 20 November 1818, King Wilhelm I of Württemberg founded an agricultural education and research station at Hohenheim, with the aim of contributing to regional food security by educating farmers and developing better agricultural production methods.</p><p>This textbook is a joint venture aiming to explore important aspects of the bioeconomy from the perspective of Hohenheim’s educators and students and offers an orientation guideline for the future. It provides specialised knowledge in relevant disciplines as well as the systematic approaches required to shape bioeconomic projects and activities. Issued on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the University of Hohenheim, it will be made available globally to all students and professionals aiming to drive the bioeconomy for a more sustainable future.</p>

Digital Towns: Accelerating and Measuring the Digital Transformation of Rural Societies and Economies

Digital Towns: Accelerating and Measuring the Digital Transformation of Rural Societies and Economies

Theo Lynn, Pierangelo Rosati

<p>The European Union's vision is no less than the digital transformation of Europe by 2030. This will be achieved through secure, performant and sustainable digital infrastructures, the digital transformation of businesses, the digitalisation of public services, and the upskilling of citizens. As such, this book is timely as it explores the digital transformation of one part of society, smaller and rural towns.<br></p><p>In 2020, the OECD estimates 80% of all territory worldwide is rural in which 30% of the world's population resides. These communities face significant societal and economic threats not only from increased urbanisation and climate change, but the very attribute that defines them, their rurality. Low population mass and density combined with geographic remoteness presents rural communities with significantly different challenges than their urban counterparts. Access to markets, tertiary education, and a critical mass of skilled labour, as well as high transportation costs, are just some of the factors that sustain the urban-rural divide. And while digital technologies present rural communities with the opportunity to overcome the challenges presented by remoteness, there remains a danger of being left behind.</p>

Digital Ageism: How it operates and approaches to tackling it

Digital Ageism: How it operates and approaches to tackling it

Andrea Rosales, Mireia Fernández-Ardèvol

<p>With the social distancing imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, basic processes and services of everyday life became digitalised in many countries. These include restaurant menus, making medical appointments and managing prescriptions and the mandatory use of credit and debit cards instead of cash. Retail stores also increasingly rely on online shopping (Nanda et al., 2021).<br></p><p>In Spain, a large social movement emerged against the deterioration of in- person bank services in late 2021. This movement collected almost 650,000 signatures on an online platform to ask banks and the government to stop the dehumanisation of banking services that, according to them, excluded older users (De Laorden, n.d.). The movement captured political attention and influenced the discussion of public policies. A new regulation came into force in February 2022, compelling the banking sector to extend opening hours and implement dedicated telephone lines to serve older adults. This situation results from existing trends that create and sustain the exclusion of older adults (Fernández-Ardèvol, 2022). First, the COVID-19 pandemic drove the spread of digital banking due to imposed physical isolation during lockdowns and after them. Second, the banking sector is in the midst of a significant digitalisation of services that involves the closure of numerous branches and the dismissal of many staff (Blomquist & Hägglund, 2021). The most important banks offer limited face-to-face service and make it almost compulsory to use other channels for every transaction, leaving people with low digital skills unattended (including many older adults). However, and this is the third element, digital banking was never designed for older clients, and neither were ATMs. Instead, digitalisation targeted young and mid-age adults as they were deemed more likely to accept and appreciate a digitally based relationship with banks. Such a decision might have been shaped by myths that assume that older adults are not interested in digital technologies and have no capacity to learn how to use them (Sawchuk et al., 2020).</p>

Urban Horticulture: Necessity of the Future

Urban Horticulture: Necessity of the Future

Shashank Shekhar Solankey

<p>The worldwide urban population will double in 30 years, leading to challenges in food and nutritional security as well as environmental problems. The urban population will increase more in developing countries as a result of immigration from rural areas, since people flock to the cities with the expectation of better quality of life there. Looking to accelerated growth in population of cities and small towns, it is expected that by 2050 more than 60 percent of the world’s population will live in urban areas. Besides the growing demand for food, there will also be a rapid increase of poverty, unemployment, hunger, and malnutrition in the urban and peri-urban environment, since only 18 percent of the Earth’s surface is cultivable or capable of growing plants, while the rest is occupied by seas, mountains, and ice. The little area capable of growing plants (agriculture, horticulture, and green conservation) is highly competed for by housing, industrial and road constructions, and incessant environmental disasters like bush burning, flooding, deforestation, and settlement expansion due to urbanization. The practice of urban horticultural gardening in third world cities to boost food and ornamental plants production, provide job opportunities, mitigate environmental pollution, and promote green space development may bridge these gaps.</p>

Knowledge and Digital Technology

Knowledge and Digital Technology

Johannes Glückler

<p><br></p><p>Development happens as a society undergoes structural transformation. Structural change in a society's culture, institutions, and technologies is driven by new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and innovations. Although the latest wave of techno- logical change, often referred to as the fifth Kondratieff cycle (Schumpeter, 1961), has been transforming world society since the 1990s. Innovative uses of digital technology have continued to yield radical and disruptive changes. Digitization has been central to shaping new ways of observing (e.g., by collecting big data and augmenting reality), knowing (e.g., supported by machine learning), and transforming (e.g., by automation and robotics) our environment. As humanity uses its knowledge to advance technologies, which in turn have an effect on human knowledge and our ways of learning, we have dedicated this book to the reflexive relationship between knowledge and technology.</p>

Organic Food Systems: Meeting the Needs of Southern Africa

Organic Food Systems: Meeting the Needs of Southern Africa

Raymond Auerbach

<p>Contrary to the common assumption that agriculture in Africa is ‘organic’ by default rather than ‘resource constrained’, the real organic production system is knowledge intensive and cannot be treated as a naïve practice because it uses natural materials. Successful organic farmers and practitioners constantly require capacity upgrades to be abreast of more productive systems, emerging trends, market opportunities and science-based production technologies. This is vital to ensure that organic agriculture maximizes the opportunities for promoting food sovereignty. This book is a vital resource for all stakeholders in organic agriculture. It provides a rich overview of the farming systems’ dynamics and the development of the practice of organic agriculture. It provides deep insight on the role of organic farmers in policy issues, as well as other institutional dimensions to foster national development. There is a clear description of the training and other capacity development needs.</p>

Behavioral Finance in the Digital Era

Behavioral Finance in the Digital Era

Elżbieta Kubińska, Magdalena Adamczyk-Kowalczuk

<p>The chapter presents results of original research undertaken on the propensity to invest and save in the era of rapid development of new technologies and their impact on financial markets. The research examines the behavior and preferences of market participants and their relationship with financial literacy and attitudes toward digitalization of financial services. Research was conducted on international samples of similar sizes from countries chosen as representative - Poland, India, and the US, which adds a country-diversity dimension to the examination of the economic and psychological perspectives. It incorporates the post-pandemic reality and worldwide effects of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The questionnaire included numerous detailed questions regarding saving and investment decisions while the analysis also included factor analysis giving standardized values for the whole dataset for all three countries. We derived factor variables, which provided a more com- prehensive understanding of the inclinations of individuals toward saving or investment. Results show the current picture of financialization of contemporary societies, accounting for the impact of economic and cultural differences, by comparing data from international samples. Special attention is paid to analyzing financial literacy, the familiarity with digital financial tools, and attitudes toward recommendations made by AI algorithms versus human financial advisors.<br></p>

The Law of Global Digitality

The Law of Global Digitality

Matthias C. Kettemann, Alexander Peukert

<p>According to German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, it took some 200 years until the disruptive potential of the printing press started to influence all segments of society, eventually leading to a fundamental change in the structure of Western European societies from a feudal-hierarchical to a modern, functionally differenti- ated society.1 If this observation is correct, and global digital communication via the internet has a disruptive potential similar to that of the printing press,2 then we are in a relatively early stage of the socio-economic transformations triggered by this new communication technology. The control of U.S. public authorities regarding the infrastructural backbone of the internet did not officially end until 30 April 1995.3 The mid-1990s also mark the beginning of the widespread public use of the World Wide Web in the U.S.4 In 1994, AOL linked to the internet for the first time, Yahoo! was established and Amazon began operations as an online bookstore. Prior to the mid-1990s, the internet had also not had a significant impact on the law. Even in the U.S., internet-related legal disputes remained rare until 1995. This is even more true for Germany, where an article was published in the most widely read legal journal in late 1995, titled: "The Internet for Lawyers-An Introduction".?<br></p>
