Full textAbstract:
According to the existing studies on Myanmar's economic history, agricultural land in the Lower Myanmar delta was transferred from ‘agriculturists’ to ‘non-agriculturists’ under British colonial rule. However, a clear distinction could not be drawn between the agriculturists and non-agriculturists as was generally thought with respect to their economic activity. More importantly, the categories could be applied interchangeably. The purpose of this study is to reconsider the very concept of ‘agriculturist’ as a colonial category in British Burma by exploring the hitherto unused register of holdings (Register IA, U pain hmatpoun sayin).

Full textAbstract:
Agronomy is the mother of agriculture and it is also synonymous to agricultur as well. Therefore, agronomy in general term in this article not only limits to the core discipline of agronomy and agronomists but also it entails the whole sphere of agriculture and agriculturists as well. Nonetheless, readers are humbly urged to take ethics of agronomists as the ethics of agriculturists for this is the agronomy journal’s article which is meant for agronomists in general perspectives. It has been mentioned in this paper that what are the ethical boundaries of agriculturists in professional capacity. The paper also describes what the ethical issues with respect to agronomist as a researcher and extensionist are entailing while executing their duty. Pressures have been brought to bear upon farming and those who serve it in any capacity to widen the list of tasks to which agriculture should be devoted. At one time, the role of agriculture was to produce food, but now many people expect agriculture to be carried out in an environmentally friendly way that maintains the rural economy. We now speak of multifunctional agriculture. One tool sometimes used to press those demands is an appeal to ethics. This appeal can appear to suggest that agriculturalists have been ethically negligent. Every agricultural ethicist knows by experience how poorly received that suggestion is. Agriculture is a vocation or profession that prides itself on the unquestionable value, even nobility, of its work. Whereas agronomists should be engaged for number of works in day to day life involving social justification in farming, soil fertility and sustainability, soil conservation, rural living condition, farming and environment, healthy and nontoxic food production to the masses in an affordable manner, and so on and so forth. Above all, there is a big morale of agriculturist to save Mother Nature for our future generation tailored with multinational companies, engaged in agriculture, which have big say in generating and disseminating agro-technologies which are mooted to profit making and patenting agro biodiversity. This paper sheds lights in all such issues and aware agriculturists if it is being done ethically on the part of agriculturists/agronomists. Also the paper cites what are the ethical concerns of agriculturists to make their profession ethically sound that include honesty, integrity, fairness, and service to the clienteles in question.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajn.v2i0.7516 Agronomy Journal of Nepal (Agron JN) Vol. 2: 2011 pp.1-11

Full textAbstract:
The musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) severity and frequency questionnaire (MSFQ) has been used with agriculturists. Although it frequently appears in the literature, it does not periodically reflect the levels of MSDs. This study aimed to develop a MSDs assessment tool for agriculturists via an online database. The four hospitals that were assigned to the development and tryout group received a random selection of participants from 33 health promoting hospitals. In the development phase, 55 agriculturists (from two hospitals) completed the structured interview questionnaire. The MSFQ document for the analysis of MSDs symptoms among agriculturists was concentrated on the frequency and severity of symptoms. The online MSFQ was checked by using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) in a one-way random-effects model. In the tryout phase, a group of 44 agriculturists (from another two hospitals) completed a similar online MSFQ. Cronbach’s alpha was used to test the reliability of the online self-reported MSDs questionnaires. A Likert rating scale, used to measure the satisfaction of users, was divided into three categories: information, program design, and benefits. The development phase showed an ICC = 0.99 with a 95% CI = 0.98–0.99. More than 65 percent of agriculturists were female, aged from 41–50 years old. A large number of them were engaged in self-cultivation. Their main crops were rice and cassava. In total, 50% reported that they had experienced mild MSDs levels. The shoulder, knee-calf, and hip-thigh areas were the top three parts of the body where agriculturists had experienced MSDs from cultivation. Excellent reliability of online MSFQ was found after the tryout. The agriculturists were very satisfied overall (information, program design, and benefits). Developments to the MSFQ and online administration did not diminish its reliability for obtaining information about the level of MSDs of agriculturists’ musculoskeletal symptoms. This self-reported MSDs questionnaire was appropriate to be used among agriculturists.

The populations were agriculturists of Maha Sarakham Province in the year 2022. The Simple Random Sampling technique was employed to gather 400 agriculturists. The research instrument was a questionnaire, and it was used for data collection. Multiple Regression Analysis is an inferential statistic for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were mean, and standard deviation. The purpose of the research was to forecast the BCG Model knowledge and ESG knowledge leading to food security management of agriculturists in Maha Sarakham Province. The results demonstrated that the prediction equation of the relationship between independent variables of Bioeconomy (X1), Green economy (X3), Environment dimension (X4), Social dimension (X5), and Governance dimension (X6) leading dependent variable Food Security Management of agriculturists. The Green economy (X3) explained the most effect on Food Security Management (Y) of agriculturists with 40.40 percent with statistical significance at a level of 0.01. Subsequences were Environment dimension (X4) at 33.40 percent, Social dimension (X5) at 29.80 percent, Governance dimension (X6) at 25.60 percent, and Bioeconomy (X1) at 14.50 percent. Except for Circular economy (X2) with a negative direction of 14.20 percent and a non-statistical significance level of 0.05. Nonetheless, the other variables also lead to effective food security management of agriculturists. To manage food security, agriculturists are required to have actual bioeconomy, circular economy and green economy knowledge, and a clear understanding of ESG concepts in all aspects of environment, social, and governance dimensions, thus they can manage food security for themselves and their families.

Chiang Mai, an important City in the northern part of Thailand, has been changed rapidly because ofurban development. This causes the increase of population and changes in land use, especially the rapiddecrease of agricultural lands which, as a result, affects on the environment and quality of life of people in thecity. The objectives of this research study were to investigate the potential of agricultural lands, the attitude ofthe agriculturist in the area on agricultural lands, and to give suggestions on how to conserve the agriculturallands sustainably by means of field survey, collected secondary data and interview 1,000 agriculturist withการศึกษาศักยภาพแหล่งเกษตรกรรม เพื่อการอนุรักษ์ให้เป็นพื้นที่สีเขียวของเมืองเชียงใหม่The Potential of Agricultural Lands for Conservation of Green Areain Chiang Mai Cityปรัชมาศ ลัญชานนท์Pradchamas Lanchanonคณะสถาปัตยกรรมศาสตร์และการออกแบบสิ่งแวดล้อม มหาวิทยาลัยแม่โจ้ เชียงใหม่ 50290Faculty of Architecture and Environmental Design, Maejo University, Chiang Mai 50290, ThailandE-mail: lanchanon@gmail.com116 JARS 10(2). 2013questionnaires. The potential of agricultural lands was then analyzed by Potential Surface Analysis (PSA) andquantitative data was analyzed in terms of percentage and mean. It was found that the northern and easternplains were appropriate for farming, and the southern plain for horticulture. As for economics and social aspects,it revealed that there were sufficient supporting market for farm products, but the problems was high productioncost and low production price. However, the agriculturists want to conserve their agricultural lands, but they didnot have younger generations to do farming. To conserve the farm lands sustainably, it consisted of the landuse control for conservation of agricultural lands, tax measures, investment funds or cooperative, producttransformed promotion, the development of central markets for agricultural products, the implantation ofland-use awareness to the people and younger generations, the knowledge and information dissimilation tothe agriculturists and agricultural grouping.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Agriculturists exposed to health hazards are affected by increased occupational disease. This retrospective study aimed to investigate situations of work-related diseases and injuries among agriculturists in upper northeast Thailand. Methods: The secondary data of international classification of diseases 10 th revision (ICD-10) case reports of occupational disease among farmers, from the database of the Health Data Center (HDC), were used. The registered farmers’ data was collected as a dataset from the provincial agricultural office and the data of the ICD-10 code, which was utilized from the hospital information system (HIS) of healthcare services in Udon Thani and Roi-Et provinces, was extracted for cases of work-related diseases and injuries of registered agriculturists. The annual morbidity rate of occupational diseases was analyzed and presented as a rate per 100,000 farmers. Results: Among diseases of farmers in the HDC database, lung disease, which was not reported as an occupational disease of the HDC database, was the highest ranking of all diseases, followed by work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), noise- and heat-related diseases, and pesticide toxicity, respectively, while the injury rate was as high as that of WMSDs. Those morbidity rates of Roi-Et and Udon Thani provinces were representative of the morbidity ranking of diseases of the nation and had increasing trends from 2014 to 2016. The number of farmers in the HDC database did not consistently reflect the number of registered farmers in the agricultural database. Conclusions: Situations of work-related diseases and injuries discovered among registered farmers reflect the health problems of Thai agriculturists, and the underestimation in the reported disease rate in the health database is explained by big data analysis, which showed that work-related cases with an identifying code of Y96 had rarely been reported among agriculturists. Therefore, the agriculturists should be supported in registration for occupational diseases and injuries surveillance.

Full textAbstract:
This study describes how farmers manage climate variability in dryland crop production, and aims to contribute to the theory and practice of decision support for managing climate variability. The intent was to study farmer decision making to see how DSS could be used to deliver information and procedures on climate risk to farmers more effectively. The study investigated whether there are significant differences between farmers' subjective distributions of seasonal rainfall and its derivatives (such as crop yield and fallow recharge) and a probability distribution derived from long-term records and simulation models, and whether these differences in risk assessment lead to changes in the optimum decision. Subjective probability distributions of rainfall and its derivatives were collected from farmers and advisers and it was found the overall match between these and long term records and simulation models was close. This study found little evidence to support the role of DSS for routine decision making, but this does not lessen the value of distributions derived from simulation models. Rather, it provides an opportunity for both farmers and scientists to learn.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis covers years of field work in Malawi, Africa by the author as a Research Agronomist (Tree Nuts) for the Government of Malawi. The thesis is an action research type with core and thesis projects which are closely linked. The client group are large estate managers who control the tree nut industries in Malawi. The political, economic and historical perspectives are different from those commonly faced by Australian agronomists and the isolated location of the work make this a unique study. The thesis includes sections on plantation or estate agriculture, farming systems approaches to research and problem solving, systems concepts in agricultural settings and action research concepts. These provide a framework for the study within the constraints of the government research system and industry expectations. The body of the thesis is a review paper presented to estate managers and co-researchers after one year's work. Relevant outcomes of the study are presented. The discussion draws together the outcomes through reflection on the process and methods used. Advantages and disadvantages are considered and risks, such as the dangers to the researcher of this type of study, are highlighted.Master of Science (Hons)

Previous issue date: 2007-06-21The objective of this study consisted in constructing possibilities that contributed for the understanding of the perceptions and meanings attributed to the associativeness from the social representations of the trader familiar agriculturists in the city of Pato Branco. The technique of data collection used was the case study, with quantitative and qualitative approaches, arranged in half-structuralized interviews, in whose stories of the associates they had retraced their experience in the collective performance. The theoretical references used in this study join to the multi dimensions of the life histories of the familiar agriculturists, who had constructed from their social representations, an associativeness model as an alternative form of participating of the local market. The refined results demonstrate through their cultural identities, associative experience, challenges and opportunities the necessity of the implementation of new forms of management that stimulate the collective involvement and the participation of the associates.

A categoria de pesquisa utilizada foi o estudo de caso, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, disposta em entrevistas semi-estruturadas, em cujos relatos dos associados remontaram a sua experiência na atuação coletiva. As referências teóricas utilizadas neste estudo integram-se as multidimensões das histórias de vida dos agricultores familiares, que construíram a partir das suas representações sociais, um modelo de associativismo como forma alternativa de participar do mercado local. Os resultados apurados demonstram através de suas identidades culturais, experiência associativa, desafios e oportunidades a necessidade de implementação de novas formas de gestão que estimulem o envolvimento coletivo e a maior participação dos associados.

Objectifying the improvement of the animal production in fifteen family agroecologic properties in the city of Araponga - MG, changes in the nutritional handling, sanitary and reproductive of the animals had been carried beyond the planning of the installations and acquisitions of goat bovines and by the families. To reach this objective was necessary a participative diagnosis of the animal systems creation to identify to the potentialities and limitations of the animal production, mainly as for the nutritional, sanitary and general handling through the rescue and analysis of the perception of the agriculturists front the implantation process of potentialization work by animal integration to the production systems. The participant comment, half-structuralized interviews, maps, flows and passage with intention to make possible the participation of the family and mutual learning had been used beyond biggest flexibility in the collection of information. After, a script of data systematization was adopted in order to analyze the reached results and the actions to be developed with the families to get potential, to consolidate and to give continuity to the experiences with animal handling. It was looked to take care of the local specific necessities, focusing in systemic aspects inside the agroecologic vision of the sustainable handling agroecossystems. The discussion of the results of this stage with the agriculturists, through pedagogical workshops, with exposition of technician subjects complementary to the considered subjects, validated the information gotten and interpreted. The perception and the alternative knowledge of the agriculturists about the handling of the animals were important for the conduction of the work, guiding the team in the organization of the pedagogical workshops and interchanges, mainly searching solutions that were adjusted to the reality of the families. Diverse changes adopted for the families, adjusted to their realities and aiming at the animal well-being had been observed. These changes had included nutritional planning, reforms of the corrals, sanitary handling, implantation of elephantgrass stocking piles, sugar cane, planting of new trees and herbaceous legumes guaranteeing the alimentary diversification for the animals. These practical had conferred sustainable to the productive systems by the integrating of the animals to the properties, having prevented measured that generated brusque changes in the others component animal and vegetable of the units of production. With these measures occurred an increase in the offer of products of animal origin and derivatives, improving the alimentary quality and the income of the families due the sell of the excesses, as well as the increase of the production and the exploitation of the bovine manure in the coffee croops, reducing the expenses with external input because the organic seasoning production above of the waited. However, resulted foreseen had not been reached, as the biggest devotion to the bovines, aiming at animal well-being and the perception of the agriculturists about the importance of the feeding quality for the creations, through the elaboration of strategies that generated new knowledge to reach the objective tracings.
Objetivando a melhoria da produção animal em quinze famílias agricultoras agroecológicas do município de Araponga – MG, foram realizadas mudanças nos manejos nutricional, sanitário e reprodutivos dos animais, além do planejamento das instalações e aquisições de bovinos e caprinos pelas famílias. Para alcançar este objetivo, foi necessário um diagnóstico participativo dos sistemas de criação animal, de forma a identificar as potencialidades e limitações da produção animal, principalmente no que se refere às questões nutricionais, sanitárias e manejo geral, através do resgate e análise da percepção dos agricultores e das agricultoras frente ao processo de implantação do trabalho de potencializar a integração animal aos seus sistemas de produção. Foram utilizadas a observação participante, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, mapas, fluxos e travessia com o intuito de viabilizar a participação da família, aprendizagem mútua, além da maior flexibilidade na coleta de informações. Após, foi adotado um roteiro de sistematização dos dados obtidos a fim de analisar os resultados alcançados e as ações a serem desenvolvidas com as famílias para potencializar, consolidar e dar continuidade a experiências com manejo animal. Procurou-se atender as necessidades específicas locais, enfocando aspectos sistêmicos dentro da visão agroecológica do manejo de agroecossistemas sustentáveis. A discussão dos resultados desta etapa junto aos agricultores e agricultoras, através de oficinas pedagógicas, com exposição de assuntos técnicos complementares aos temas propostos, validou socialmente as informações obtidas e interpretadas. A percepção e os conhecimentos alternativos dos agricultores quanto ao manejo dos animais foi importante para a condução do trabalho, ao orientar a equipe na organização das oficinas pedagógicas e intercâmbios, e principalmente na busca de soluções que se adequassem à realidade das famílias. Observaram-se diversas mudanças adotadas pelas famílias, adequadas às suas realidades e visando o bem-estar dos animais. Estas mudanças incluíram planejamento nutricional, reformas dos currais, manejo sanitário, implantação de capineiras, cana-de-açúcar, novas árvores e leguminosas herbáceas, garantindo a diversificação alimentar dos animais. Estas práticas conferiram sustentabilidade aos sistemas produtivos ao integrar os animais às propriedades, evitando medidas que gerassem mudanças bruscas nos demais componentes animal e vegetal das unidades de produção. Com estas medidas, ocorreu aumento da oferta de produtos de origem animal e derivados, melhorando a qualidade alimentar e a renda das famílias devido a venda de excedentes, bem como o aumento da produção e do aproveitamento do esterco bovino nas lavouras de café, reduzindo os gastos com insumos externos devido a produção de adubo orgânico acima do esperado. No entanto, resultados não previstos foram alcançados, como a maior dedicação aos bovinos, visando o bem-estar animal, e a percepção dos agricultores quanto a importância da qualidade da alimentação das criações, através da elaboração de estratégias que gerou novos conhecimentos para alcançar os objetivos traçados.

Full textAbstract:
The reconstruction of patterns of physical activities, behaviour, and lifestyle in past populations is one of the goals most often pursued by bioarchaeologists. This study considers the presence of a group of markers of occupational stress (MOS) that are accepted by many in bioarchaeology as representing the impact of physical activity. To examine their presence, two past populations from northern Chile who practised two contrasting subsistence economies such as marine hunting and gathering with agricultural farmers were compared. The skeletal markers analysed were enthesophytes, osteoarthritis, spondylolysis, os acromiale, osteochondritis dissecans as well as changes in size, shape and robusticity of long bones. The aim of this study was to compare the pattern of these MOS in archaic coastal fishers (3rd-2nd millennium BC) with inland agriculturalists (1st millennium AD). One hundred and seventy-five skeletons of adult males and females curated at the Museo Arqueológico San Miguel de Azapa in Arica, Chile were analysed. It was found that early coastal populations were in general significantly more affected by these MOS when compared with later inland agriculturalists thus suggesting that the archaic way of life based on marine hunting and gathering was more physically demanding than that practised by later agricultural and farming populations. The intra-group analysis between sexes revealed that coastal males showed higher prevalence rates of these markers compared with coastal females but comparisons between agricultural males and females failed to demonstrate any significant difference in the prevalence rates for these markers. Thus suggesting a more marked sexual division of labour among the former group compared to the latter. Inter-group sex comparisons revealed that males from both groups were generally similarly affected by the MOS whereas females displayed a more varied pattern. Assuming that these markers result from physical activity and occupation, regardless of the subsistence economy practised, men from both populations performed the most physically demanding activities. Women on the other hand, would have changed their roles in society with the arrival of agriculture, thus getting progressively more involved and participating more in the demanding tasks required by the agricultural way of life. In conclusion, this study showed that the arrival of agriculture in northern Chile resulted in differences in the patterns and prevalence of activity-related pathological conditions.

Leadbeater, Bridget. "An assessment into the effectiveness of banana tissue culture intervention schemes at improving the livelihoods of small-scale agriculturists, particularly for women producing banana in the Lake Victoria region of Uganda." Thesis, University of Derby, 2011. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.551124.
Full textAbstract:
The majority of bananas/plantains in Uganda are produced for local consumption and small-scale domestic trade with comparatively less export for the global market. Nevertheless, Uganda produced the largest global quantity of bananas in 2008 (FAOSTAT 2008). The fruit is therefore of vital importance, however predominantly, it is the East African Highland varieties that are regarded as an essential domestic staple food. In particular, these bananas are grown by small-scale Bugandan women producers situated in the central region where this study is located. Food security and hunger alleviation programmes in Uganda attempt to foster the livelihoods of small-scale agriculturalists through an income generation agenda supported by many International Institutions such as the World Bank (WB), the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO). These projects are implemented anticipating that endorsement of tissue culture banana plantlets, alongside their associated agricultural inputs and improved management practices, will ameliorate declining yields and augment livelihoods. The intention is to investigate the effectiveness of such banana tissue culture intervention programmes. In order to capture the farmers' interpretations and perspectives of these, adoption of participatory research methodology and techniques is considered integral to individual assessment. As the majority of respondents are farming banana within a 'backyard' or home garden system which entails a complex, mixed cropping regime, an agro-ecological stance is embraced to encapsulate the wider context of banana production. Thus the study is able to offer an insight into acute farmer knowledge of their environment, including species preference and agro-practices employed in banana cultivation. The central question of this enquiry is thus: 'do small-scale farmers in Uganda deem tissue culture banana plantlets worthwhile cultivating, and therefore consider this as valuable intervention to enhance their livelihoods?' A rejoinder required empirical research achieved over two phases exceeding a one and a half year period in Uganda. Forty-seven small-scale farmers were consulted in three differing locations sited within the 'fertile crescent' around Lake Victoria. Completion of life history timelines and photodiaries supplemented semi-structured interviews which took place on the homesteads of participants. Beneath the umbrella of a livelihood approach, the farmers expose broader aspects inhibiting positive outcomes related with involvement in banana tissue culture intervention programmes. The exploration further incorporates necessary discussion with scientists at the National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO), National Agricultural Advisory (NAADS) extension agents, Non Government Organisations (NGOs) agriculture specialists and a private company, all stakeholders in some way of the banana tissue culture schemes. The analysis of the study is rooted in ecofeminist and disability studies theory, as consequently, by drawing out these connections and intricacies, proffers a rationale as to the foundation of a pervasive attitudinal bias clandestine in societies. These concepts underpin inequitable perceptions of poverty, women and people with disabilities in the present. The theoretical findings implore coalesce of authentic and inclusive investigative methods to represent 'the lived experience' of the farmer in a procedure not often applied in agricultural research.

Abstract Hail has always posed a threat to creatures and crops exposed to the open land. Hail could devastate farmers’ fields in seconds, and early agriculturists knew all too well of its strength. When hailstorms ravage the earth, some people even today consider them a show of the Great Spirit’s wrath. The destruction upsets the balance of nature, and people find themselves humbled and at the mercy of nature’s powers.

Full textAbstract:
Active European integration processes in the state, education and business determine relevance of the study. They pay special attention to the discipline «Foreign language for specific purposes» in the training of agricultural specialists. The purpose of this study is to consider the scientific and methodical aspects of formation of readiness for German-language professionally oriented communication among future agriculturists. Theoretical (analysis, systematization, generalization, modeling) and empirical methods were used to achieve this goal. They allowed to analyze the latest scientific research in the field of foreign language training, problems of readiness for foreign language communication, features of foreign language professionally oriented communication of agro-industrial enterprises` specialists. The analysis of the professional requirements for future farmers, scientific approaches to interpretation of the concept «readiness», modern concepts of foreign language teaching methods gave grounds to specify the concept of readiness for German-speaking professionally oriented communication of agriculturists, which is seen as the competence to use acquired knowledge, ability and skills for successful German-speaking professionally oriented communication. Analysis of the national experience of foreign language training of agricultural sector specialists shows that the main purpose of foreign languages studying in higher educational establishments is the training a specialist who can use the German language as a tool of professional activity and professional knowledge. In order to achieve this goal it is necessary to develop the linguistic, social-cultural, educational and professional components of German-speaking professionally oriented communicative competence. Communication is an integral part of the professional activities of specialists. It is based on general social and psychological patterns and focuses on the successful and effective implementation of professional duties, and includes the exchange of proposals, requirements, views, motives to solve specific problems, sign agreements or establish other relations between the subjects of joint activities. German-language professionally oriented communication has its linguistic features, namely: lexical (terms, scientific and technical phraseology, professionalism, jargon, abbreviations and acronyms), grammatical (nominal style, modal verbs, passive voice, sentence length) and stylistic (metaphor, comparison and epithets). According to the fundamental bases of foreign language training the model of formation of readiness for German-language professionally oriented communication among future agriculturists is proposed, based on the peculiarities of teaching foreign languages in agricultural universities and the specificity of professionally oriented communication of specialists in the agricultural sector. It consists of the following blocks: motivational-target, theoretical-methodological, content-technological and productive-estimated. The effectiveness of the model depends on such factors as: the organization of the appropriate language environment, modeling of professional situations in the classroom and increase motivation for professionally oriented communication. The results of the study are to determine the place of formation of readiness for foreign language communication in the professional education of future farmers, to determine the linguistic features of German-language communication of agronomists, to substantiate the organizational and pedagogical conditions of German-language training and create an appropriate model. The formation of readiness for professionally oriented communication in a foreign language is a systematic, long-term process that involves the development of traditional professional ideas, professional thinking and professional behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Plant disease plays a crucial role in the reduction as well as degradation of production and yield in the area of precision agriculture and is a major concern for farmers and agriculturists. Hence, the detection and identification of diseases among the crops is essential. In this chapter, the CNN model for the identification and classification of different plant diseases through its leaf images is used. Four diseases such as ergot, downy mildew, blast, and rust in the pearl millet crops are considered in this work. The images of the pearl millet crop are considered for the five classes: healthy, ergot, downy mildew, rust, and blast. The dataset consists of 2074 images. The dataset is trained for the 30 epochs. The proposed approach is compared with the various existing methodologies such as naïve Bayesian, decision tree, support vector machine, and random forest. The simulation result shows that the proposed approach using the CNN outperforms the existing approaches in terms of accuracy and loss.

This study observed the effect of climatic factors, social-economic profile of agriculturists, appropriate technology, climate adaptation strategy (CAS), and development institutions on farm income Ha-1 in Gujarat using a log-linear regression model. Euler's theorem was used to observe the expected farm income Ha-1 by the years of 2040s, 2060s, 2080s, and 2100s. Logit and probit regression models were also employed to assess the CAS affecting factors. The results indicated that farm income Ha-1 decreases as marginal increase in climatic variables. The results based on Euler's theorem showed that farm income Ha-1 may decline by 12.01%, 17.22%, 22.80%, and 28.66% by the years of 2040s, 2060s, 2080s, and 2100s, respectively. It highlighted that farmers' CAS were significantly associated with family size, yearly income, total arable land, income from cash crops, financial support from government, agricultural development institutions, collaboration with different stakeholders, and skills and technical support from technology developers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The ecology of the arid and semi-arid regions of East Africa is essentially the ecology of subsistence pastoralism. Pastoralists and their herds are ubiquitous in the drier parts of East Africa. Pastoralists need these areas for their survival and, in tum, significantly affect them. Pastoralists are participants in the dynamics of intact ecosystems in ways that agriculturists and most people living in moister ecosystems are not. Consequently, the ecology of arid ecosystems cannot be understood in isolation from an understanding of pastoral society and the management of their livestock. In tropical areas where annual precipitation is 600 millimeters or less, and is divided between two rainy seasons, crop agriculture is not possible. Nonetheless, these arid areas have been inhabited by people and their livestock for thousands of years. The result, in many cases, is a human-dominated ecosystem in which livestock have partially taken over the role of wildlife as consumers of grass and shrubs.
