Sommario/riassunto

Throughout history, women have participated in and sometimes initiated rebellions to defend the welfare of their family, community, class, race or ethnic group.This volume presents original research on women's activism in Asia, Europe, Australia and Latin America. It explores how women have advanced social change and their influence on, and response to, existing transformations in society. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the authors examine women's activities and conditions in diverse social and political contexts, from revolutionary societies, to status quo societies, to societies in dec

Sommario/riassunto

Explore the transformative intersection of biotechnology and the Internet of Things (IoT) in modern agriculture. This book delves into sustainable solutions and cutting-edge technologies that are revolutionizing the global food production industry. The book is structured to provide an in-depth understanding of how green innovation is reshaping agriculture. Starting with an introduction to sustainability in agriculture, it traces the evolution from traditional farming to smart farming methods, where IoT and Biotechnology come together to optimize crop management, soil health, and resource utilization. Key chapters include the role of IoT in precision farming, biotechnology advancements like CRISPR and GMOs, and their integration for improved crop resilience, pest control, and water management. The synergy between IoT's real-time data capabilities and biotechnology's genetic innovations is highlighted in smart greenhouses, vertical farming, and climate-resilient agriculture. Other critical topics include reducing food waste through technology, the role of AI and machine learning in agricultural practices, blockchain for supply chain transparency, and Biotech's impact on livestock management. Ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, and green finance opportunities are also addressed, alongside future trends like 5G, drones, and synthetic biology. You will gain a comprehensive view of how biotechnology and IoT are driving sustainable agricultural practices, fostering innovation, and offering solutions to global food security challenges. The book offers practical insights into the future of farming and policy recommendations to ensure a sustainable, tech-driven agricultural future. You Will • Learn how data analytics, AI, and biotech innovations work together in precision farming, optimizing resource usage, improving yields, and addressing environmental challenges • Discover innovative solutions for sustainable food production, including smart irrigation systems, IoT-enabled greenhouses, vertical farming, and biotechnological methods for improving soil health and reducing food waste • Understand the ethical concerns, privacy issues, and regulatory frameworks that govern the use of IoT and biotechnology in agriculture.
