Principles of Systems
TL;DR: The feedback mechanism involved in all principles for artificial learning refers back to the notion of the control-circuit, which serves as a basis for the analysis and the design of feedback-control systems.

TL;DR: This paper provides an overview of the eight main global and regional scale agricultural monitoring systems currently in operation and compares them based on the input data and models used, the outputs produced and other characteristics such as the role of the analyst, their interaction with other systems and the geographical scale at which they operate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introducing digital twins to agriculture
TL;DR: The extent of digital twin adoption in agriculture is examined, light is shed on the concept and the benefits it brings, and an application-based roadmap for a more extended adoption is proposed.

Lifetime productivity of dairy cows in smallholder farming systems of the Central highlands of Kenya.
TL;DR: Reducing involuntary culling must be included as a key goal when designing interventions to improve productivity and sustainability of smallholder dairy systems, because increasing lifetime productivity may have a larger impact on smallholders' income than interventions targeted to only improving daily milk yields through feeding strategies.
Simulating crop growth and biogeochemical fluxes in response to land management using the SALUS model
Bruno Basso,Joe T. Ritchie +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a sustainable land management framework for developing and improving land use for crop production must be based on long-term and broad-based perspectives, since sustainability is an integrated concept with associated challenges.

TL;DR: The AgMIP data interoperability standards described in this paper achieved interoperability by establishing a data exchange mechanism with variables defined in accordance with international standards; implementing a flexibly structured data schema to store experimental data; and designing a method to fill gaps in model-required input data.

Evaluating energy efficiency of site-specific tillage in maize in NE Italy.
TL;DR: Based on the simulated data and the calibration results, SALUS model proved to be a good tool for analyzing long-term effects of tillage practices on yield, and showed the best efficiency over years, due to the low inputs in comparison with the output level.

TL;DR: Simulation modeling with the RICEPEST model provided the flexibility required to address varying production situations and diverse pest profiles and indicated that a new type of rice plant with high-harvest index and high-biomass production was more vulnerable to pests than hybrid rice.
