1. Mapping The Effect Of Food Prices, Productivity And Poverty In The Development Domains Of NigeriaPoverty remains the major obstacle to economic emancipation and achievement of development agenda in Nigeria. Worse still, rising food prices pose a major threat to feeding the teeming population in Nigeria. Declining food production, high population growth, and negative food trade balance combine to worsen the food and poverty situations in Nigeria. We stand on the premise that surging and volatile food prices could have a hardest hit on those who could not afford it –... O.E. Olayide, A.E. Ikpi, V.O. Okoruwa, , T. Alabi, T. Omodele |
2. Agricultural Robots Classification Based on Clustering by Features and FunctionRobotic systems in agriculture (hereafter referred to as agrobots) have become popular in the last few years. They represent an opportunity to make food production more efficient, especially when coupled with technologies such as the Internet of Things and Big Data. Agrobots bring many advantages in farm operations: they can reduce humane fatigue and work-related accidents. In contrast, their large-scale diffusion is today limited by a lack of clarity and exhaustiveness in the regulatory framework... M. Canavari, M. Medici, G. Rossetti |
3. Comparative Analysis of Spray Nozzles on Drones: Volumetric Distribution at Different HeightsAgricultural drones are emerging as a revolutionary tool in modern agriculture, aiming to enhance precision and efficiency in crop management. One of their main advantages is the ability to operate in adverse soil and canopy height conditions, making them a valuable instrument for the application of agrochemicals. In this context, the optimization of spraying systems plays a critical role, with the goal of ensuring the effective application of agrochemicals, aiming to maximize productivity and... A.

4. Comparing Traditional Methods and Digital Platforms for Delineating Management Zones: A Study of Efficiency and AccuracyDigital platforms have emerged as user-friendly tools to support management zone delineation and field monitoring in precision agriculture. However, the algorithms and methods embedded in these platforms may overlook agronomic and operational constraints, limiting their effectiveness in decision-making. This study evaluated the performance of three commercial digital platforms for management zone delineation and compared them with a reference protocol and an... T. Costa Barboza, H. Oldoni, F.D.
