1. Soil Spatial Variability in the Everglades Agricultural Area in South FloridaThe Everglades agricultural area is composed by histosols laying on hard limestone bedrock in south Florida. Despite the common assumption of homogeneity of these soils, agricultural practices could result in the increase of soil variability. Therefore, soil spatial variability was studied on three fields (5.5 ha each) at the Everglades Research and Education Center to compare the changes... J.L. Pantoja, S.H. Daroub, O.A. Diaz |
2. Measuring And Mapping Sugarcane GapsSugarcane is an important crop in tropical regions of the world and especially for Brazil, the largest sugar supplier in the market, also running a domestic fleet of flex-fuel driven vehicles based on ethanol. Site specific production management can impact sugarcane production by increasing yield and reducing cost. Sugarcane fields are planted each five years, in average, and an important parameter that is measured after the planting operation is the gaps caused by problems during planting... J.P. Veiga, D.S.

3. Smart Food Oases: Development of a Distributed Point-to-point Urban Food Ecosystem in Food Desert AreasUrban agriculture has been getting much attention in the past decade as a solution to overcome food insecurity and accessibility of food for urban residents and to have better green environments in cities. Urban agriculture is expected to provide better nutrients to residents, reduce transportation and environmental costs, and help urban dwellers access food efficiently. The present study is to build a collaborative ecosystem among urban growers/producers and create bridges from these farmers... J. Lee, S. Song, S. Oh, K. Krishnaswamy, C. Sun, Y. Adu-gyamfi |
