The penetration of precision agriculture technologies in agrifood systems generates the need for efficient upskilling programs targeted at farmers and other actors. A critical first step this direction is to uncover training needs actors involved ecosystems. present study aimed identify assess gaps competencies related Greek livestock researchers specialized field. For farmers, we followed a partially mixed research design. To researchers’ needs, chose qualitative-dominant approach. results revealed that lack concerning exploitation technologies. Depending on their area expertise, have associated with predicting how affects future farming understanding artifacts interplay socio-environmental economic factors. Despite limited generalizability findings, which represent limitation reliance data two small sample sizes, our indicate that, beyond technology-related competencies, it essential enhance capacity producers foresight shape potential (digital) futures.

Although precision farming technologies (PFTs) have the ability to reduce use of pesticides, delivering on this potential relies adoption PFTs by community. With small and medium-sized farmers representing more than 95% total number while cultivating less 30% cultivated area globally, presenting a low rate PFTs, their becomes key understand global these technologies. In paper we report an expert knowledge elicitation main aspects covering perceived usefulness for farms, barriers role agricultural institutions policies in overcoming these. Data were obtained via online survey which was answered 175 experts from around globe. From analysis responses, can conclude that are crop technology specific. Nearly all respondents considered lack technical support be most important limiting factor identified who already adopters farmer cooperatives as promising agents disseminating increasing other farmers.

Excessive agricultural intensification adversely affects soil quality, particularly in hilly terrain, leading to increased erosion. Anthropogenic denudation, intensified by tillage erosion, results the displacement of material from hilltops and shoulders their bases. The research hypothesis posits that erosion microbiological chemical properties soils, especially at intensively cultivated areas. study aimed assess Luvisols under conventional plowing moraine region Southern Krajna Lakeland, Poland. evaluation focused on sample analyses taken foothills eroded mounds. Microbiological investigations included determining abundance actinomycetes, filamentous fungi, heterotrophic bacteria, cellulolytic microorganisms, copiotrophs, oligotrophs. Additionally, pH values contents phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, total organic carbon, nitrogen were determined. A higher copiotrophs was observed foothills. Statistically significant differences due slope effects noted for all parameters, with concentrations nitrogen, phosphorus found foothill Understanding denudation processes can contribute sustainable resource use agrocenosis conservation.

Feed costs represent a significant component of milk production expenses, making up share 50% or more the total cost. The optimization feed is important to achieve financial stability, competitiveness, and sustainability in dairy farming. Optimizing rations not only improves economic efficiency but also plays role reducing environmental impact On other hand, need meet specific nutritional requirements cattle ensure their health, well-being, maximum production. formulation an optimal ration easy task for farmers due many challenges they face this process. This study presents intuitive web-based tool called OPTIMILK that used using Simplex method linear programming. enables efficiently find least-cost considering needs cows, availability costs, composition feed. was created farmers’ association Bosnia Herzegovina made available its members free. After almost four years operation, tool’s usage evaluated by analyzing collected data. results show after initial period low activity, there evidence increase level use, which implies gradual adoption farming practice.
