“…In addition, subsidies [8,[16][17][18][19], water pricing [20][21][22][23], and enforcement and monitoring capacity [22,24] are regulatory factors that may further affect the transition to MIT. For their part, structural factors such as the type of crops [17,20], farmer networks [25,26], farmer skills [27,28], the cost of substituting inputs (labor and energy) (for instance, labor and energy can be considered substituting inputs when considering the transition from furrow irrigation to sprinkler or drip irrigation systems: furrow irrigation is highly labor intensive, while the other types of irrigation systems are energy intensive) and output prices [21], and land ownership [7] contribute to further substantiate under which circumstances the transition to MIT is more likely to occur.…”

Abstract:The present study explores the value generated by the use of information to rationalize the use of water resources in agriculture. The study introduces the value of information concept in the field of irrigation developing a theoretical assessment framework to evaluate whether the introduction of "Precision Irrigation" (PI) practices can improve expectations on income. This is supported by a Stakeholders consultation and by a numerical example, using secondary data and crop growth models. The study reveals that the value generated with the transition to PI varies with pedo-climate, economic, technological and other conditions, and it depends on the initial status of the farmer's information environment. These factors affect the prerequisite needed to make viable PI. To foster the adoption of PI, stakeholders envisaged the need to set up free meteorological information and advisory service that supports farmers in using PI, as well as other type of instruments. The paper concludes that the profitability of adoption and the relevant impact on the environment cannot be considered as generally given, but must be evaluated case by case justifying (or not) the activation of specific agricultural policy measures supporting PI practices to target regions.

“…An electric fence was first utilized as a part of Texas in 1888. Power from a generator utilizing an overshot wheel was to charge the main two wires of a four-four-wire fence [1]. Regularly sun oriented controlled, such fences were utilized broadly in the Panhandle to keep cows from meandering onto farmlands [4].…”

“…This approach, based on the largescale, real-time environment, needs effective monitoring and controlling services that can be achieved through ubiquitous computing in vertical farms. High-tech services such as farm management (Nikkilä et al 2010), disease diagnosis (Manhire et al 2012), and production sustainability (Kolhe et al 2011) can be enriched in remote locations through web applications (Xia et al 2011) and integration and identification devices may lead to effective Internet of Things applications for vertical farms or urban gardening.…”

Automation in agriculture should improve plant health, product quality, and production efficiency. However the actual use of electronic identification tools in agriculture is limited. Therefore, I review here electronic identification applications to support plant health and production and agricultural sustainability. The major points are as follows: (1) there is a tenfold increase of literature on the application of radio frequency identification in agriculture from 2000-2004 to 2005-2009. (2) Development of quick response code and radio frequency identification solutions are improving automated systems. (3) There is a major advancement in associating thermal sensors to electronic tags to preserve food quality and to manage temperature-controlled supply chain. Whereas tests with biosensors used for biological or chemical alerts are limited. (4) Agrochemical tagging, using radio frequency identification tags, improve plant health management and environmental monitoring. (5) While phytosanitary certifications are mandatory in high-cost cultivation systems and a need for risk management may promote radiofrequency identification (RFID) systems, the lack of specific economic analyses may discourage farmers and investors.
