Ecological modernization of the agriculture industry in southern Sweden: reducing emissions to the Baltic Sea

Ecosystem Services in the Baltic Sea

“…The main substances causing the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea are nitrogen and phosphorus (Larsson 1985). Important sources are agriculture and urban dwellings as well as air emissions (Archambault 2004). For example, in the eastern Gulf of Finland poultry plants and animal husbandry are major contributors to eutrophication (Kondratyev and Trumbull 2012).…”

Findings on agricultural cleaner production in the three Gorges Reservoir Area

“…Moreover, maintenance of biogas slurry distribution networks, open storage of liquid slurry, and deficient transportation of dry manures will all challenge the sustainable development of agriculture, especially intensive livestock and poultry breeding. [ 3 ] identified seven eco-factors influencing intensive agriculture in the Baltic Sea of southern Sweden. Among such factors, financial security, expanding knowledge, and local planning were regarded as playing crucial positive roles of integration of environmental improvements within agricultural industry.…”

“…Thus, between 2002 and 2018, global pesticide use per hectare of cropland increased by approximately 30% and inorganic fertilizer use per hectare by approximately 23%, 13% and 56% for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, respectively [ 1 ]. Moreover, crop residues and farm waste and sewage [ 2 ] pose a high, potential environmental pollution risk [ 3 , 4 ]. Therefore, agricultural nonpoint source pollution (ANSP) has been recognized as a key factor significantly affecting water quality [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] ].…”

Research on the Internet of Things Platform Design for Agricultural Machinery Operation and Operation Management

“…The field working data can be remotely recalled and stored directly in the corresponding database, greatly improving the efficiency of data collection, the analysis and application; when the mechanical failure, the mechanical users can also make use of the computer techniques to analysis and diagnostic ,or to take targeting processing procedures of precision agriculture, which is basing on GPS, GIS, RS Technology for urging on the agricultural production to be changed more scientific and refined. [3,4] In China, the overall situation of agricultural equipment's development is: small agricultural machinery occupies the dominant position with a large number and a single function; the large and medium-sized mechanical costs are higher, and their degree of intelligence are low; the agricultural machinery product surplus and shortage of coexist, traditional farming machinery market is almost saturated, the product structure is irrational, the number of cultivated and harvested machinery about some new crops is little and the level is low. There are also many problems, such as the system is imperfect in the agricultural management, the managers are not professional and so on [5] .…”
