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.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscTechnology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processesbicsscactivated carbonadsorptionaerobic processagricultureANFISANNattached growthbiofilmbiofuelsbiological processbuilding air-conditioningcantaloupecereal productionChinese solar greenhouseCO2 emissionscold regionscooling padscorn cobcrop rotationcrop water requirementCROPWATdate palm wasteDEAdecentralized food storageenergy analysisenergy efficiencyenergy recovery potentialenergy-saving screenexergyfluidized bed reactorgreenhouse energy modelinggreenhouse microclimate controlheating requirementHOMER Pro®human thermal comforthybrid renewable energyimprovement potentialirrigation managementMaisotsenko cycle evaporative coolingmembrane energy recovery ventilatormercury ionnet present costnorth wallPakistanpost-harvest food lossespyrolysisrenewable energyrotating biological contactorsolar coolingtechno-economictechno-economic optimizationthermal modelwastewater treatmentBiology, life sciencesResearch and information: generalTechnology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processesSultan Muhammadedt1277673Ahamed Md ShamimedtShamshiri Redmond RedtShahzad Muhammad WakiledtSultan MuhammadothAhamed Md ShamimothShamshiri Redmond RothShahzad Muhammad WakilothBOOK9910595066103321Energy Systems and Applications in Agriculture3036324UNINA
