The Dutch Ministry of Agriculture aims to manage agricultural soils in a sustainable way by 2030. Reduced tillage is proposed, offering a positive effect on multiple ecosystem services like improved soil quality, but with possible drawbacks such as compaction and yield reduction. The Dutch BASIS long term experiment (established by Wageningen University in 2009) assesses reduced tillage combined with controlled traffic farming on sandy loam soil for common Dutch crop rotations in a conventional and organic system. Three tillage systems (conventional and reduced with and without sub-soiling) are studied. The BASIS experiment shows that reduced tillage is a viable option for most of the Dutch crops and indicates a trend towards improved soil quality.

“…In the literature, there are numerous studies on the problems of connotation and extension of family farms. The development of family farms in Brazil [22,23], the Netherlands [24,25], France [26,27], Japan [28,29] and other countries has achieved good results, and the systems and mechanisms used are relatively perfect. The operation mode of first using a pilot and then promoting the system has been adopted in China, and a series of typical cases of family farm development have emerged [30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Agricultural labor productivity is an important indicator that reflects the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas. Demonstration farms provide an important link between small-scale farmers and modern agriculture in mountainous area of western China, which is playing an important role in improving labor productivity. This paper focuses on using the PSM-logit model and sensitivity analysis to empirically test the causal relationship between demonstration farms and labor productivity, and a micro-large sample of 1823 family farms was adopted. The highlighted findings are as follows: the average labor productivity of the demonstration farm is 2.8 times higher than that of the non-demonstration farm. There is a significant positive correlation between demonstration farms and labor productivity. Utilizing demonstration farms, when all control variables are added, can remarkably promote farm income by CNY301458 on average. In the matched sample, and under scenarios controlling for other covariates, we saw that demonstration farms can significantly enhance the farm income of CNY285108, CNY288509, and CNY291077 on average, respectively, after taking the radius matching, the kernel matching, and the nearest neighbor matching. The research inspired us to enhance the demonstrative establishment of family farms and accelerate the rate at which comprehensive development benefits are derived from demonstration farms. The results of this research could provide a policy reference for the promotion of high-quality development and the sustainable development of family farms in China and serve as an experience reference for promoting sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas globally.

“…This is important in crop rotation, since this crop is grown between rows of tubers. The chemical composition of root vegetables is presented in Table 2 and Figure 1 shows images of carrots, white radish and red beets from roots [1][2][3]. Various methods are used to preserve fruits and vegetables.…”

From the technological point of view, it is shown in detail that, how to maintain storage conditions under moderate conditions and the possibility of extending shelf life with less waste and consists of approximate calculations and often does not correspond to practice. To determine the storage method in more detail, firstly a test was conducted on the storages methods tests. Only after the basic technological characteristics of a given storage method have been developed can a conclusion be drawn about its suitability for the task at hand. For example, if you plan to store potatoes or carrots until May-June, you should prepare a refrigerator. If the storage period is set until January, then warehouse with natural ventilation or cooling with outside air using a fan is sufficient.
