Book excerpt: In recent years, the advent of biosensors and bioelectronics has facilitated the swift and precise detection of numerous biomolecules or pathogens in animal samples, aquatic habitats, and plants. These technologies have emerged as potent assets for the agriculture and aquaculture industries. Many experts have raised the question; how might the integration of biosensors into portable devices or automated monitoring systems enable on-site and real-time detection of diverse biomolecules or pathogens? Agriculture and Aquaculture Applications of Biosensors and Bioelectronics presents the recent developments in biological recognition elements, transducer materials, and signal processing techniques for biosensors and bioelectronics used in agriculture and aquaculture applications. Sophisticated biosensors and bioelectronics operate through the immobilization of biological recognition components—such as enzymes or antibodies—on a transducer surface. This immobilization process allows for the targeted recognition and binding of biomolecules or pathogens. The resulting electrical, optical, or chemical changes triggered by the recognition event are quantifiable through various methods and are often enhanced by applications utilizing artificial intelligence (AI). The necessity for high sensitivity and selectivity, the optimization of biocompatibility and stability, and the integration of biosensors with AI-aided solutions are just some of the challenges and opportunities in developing biosensors for high-tech agriculture and aquaculture. This book targets a mixed audience of biotechnology engineers, biosensors scientists, bioelectronics researchers, high-tech agriculture analysts, Ph.D. scholars, researchers, academics, professionals, engineers, and students.

Book excerpt: Although chemical pesticides safeguard crops and improve farm productivity, they are increasingly feared for their potentially dangerous residues and their effects on ecosystems. The Future Role of Pesticides explores the role of chemical pesticides in the decade ahead and identifies the most promising opportunities for increasing the benefits and reducing the risks of pesticide use. The committee recommends R&D, program, and policy initiatives for federal agriculture authorities and other stakeholders in the public and private sectors. This book presents clear overviews of key factors in chemical pesticide use, including: Advances in genetic engineering not only of pest-resistant crops but also of pests themselves. Problems in pesticide useâ€"concerns about the health of agricultural workers, the ability of pests to develop resistance, issues of public perception, and more. Impending shifts in agricultureâ€"globalization of the economy, biological "invasions" of organisms, rising sensitivity toward cross-border environmental issues, and other trends. With a model and working examples, this book offers guidance on how to assess various pest control strategies available to today's agriculturist.

This book was released on 2019-04-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly a century, scientific advances have fueled progress in U.S. agriculture to enable American producers to deliver safe and abundant food domestically and provide a trade surplus in bulk and high-value agricultural commodities and foods. Today, the U.S. food and agricultural enterprise faces formidable challenges that will test its long-term sustainability, competitiveness, and resilience. On its current path, future productivity in the U.S. agricultural system is likely to come with trade-offs. The success of agriculture is tied to natural systems, and these systems are showing signs of stress, even more so with the change in climate. More than a third of the food produced is unconsumed, an unacceptable loss of food and nutrients at a time of heightened global food demand. Increased food animal production to meet greater demand will generate more greenhouse gas emissions and excess animal waste. The U.S. food supply is generally secure, but is not immune to the costly and deadly shocks of continuing outbreaks of food-borne illness or to the constant threat of pests and pathogens to crops, livestock, and poultry. U.S. farmers and producers are at the front lines and will need more tools to manage the pressures they face. Science Breakthroughs to Advance Food and Agricultural Research by 2030 identifies innovative, emerging scientific advances for making the U.S. food and agricultural system more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. This report explores the availability of relatively new scientific developments across all disciplines that could accelerate progress toward these goals. It identifies the most promising scientific breakthroughs that could have the greatest positive impact on food and agriculture, and that are possible to achieve in the next decade (by 2030).
