Agricultural systems require energy for farm machinery and equipment; lighting; heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC); food processing and preservation; fertilizer and chemical production; and water/wastewater treatment/application. Increasing agriculture mechanization mitigates conventional energy reserves that escalate greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.This book aims to offer energy-efficient and/or environment-friendly ways for the agriculture sector to achieve the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. The book provides cutting-edge research on next-generation agricultural technologies and applications to develop a sustainable solution for modern greenhouses, temperature/humidity control in agriculture, farm storage and drying, crop water requirements, agricultural built environment, and wastewater treatment.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscmercury ioncorn cobactivated carbonadsorptiongreenhouse energy modelingrenewable energyenergy-saving screengreenhouse microclimate controlcantaloupeimprovement potentialenergy efficiencyexergyANNANFIScereal productioncrop rotationenergy analysisDEACO2 emissionsChinese solar greenhousethermal modelnorth wallcold regionsheating requirementpyrolysisdate palm wastetechno-economicfluidized bed reactorbiofuelssolar coolingpost-harvest food lossesdecentralized food storagecooling padsagricultureCROPWATirrigation managementcrop water requirementhybrid renewable energytechno-economic optimizationnet present costHOMER Pro®membrane energy recovery ventilatorenergy recovery potentialMaisotsenko cycle evaporative coolingbuilding air-conditioninghuman thermal comfortPakistanwastewater treatmentbiological processaerobic processattached growthbiofilmrotating biological contactorResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTechnology, engineering, agricultureSultan Muhammadedt1277673Ahamed Md ShamimedtShamshiri Redmond RedtShahzad Muhammad WakiledtSultan MuhammadothAhamed Md ShamimothShamshiri Redmond RothShahzad Muhammad WakilothBOOK9910595066103321Energy Systems and Applications in Agriculture3036324UNINA
