Описание: This book features a comprehensive foresight assessment, exploring the pressures -- threats as well as opportunities -- on the global agriculture & food systems between now and 2050. The overarching aim is to help readers understand the context, by analyzing global trends and anticipating change for better planning and constructing pathways from the present to the future by focusing on the right questions and problems. The book contextualizes the role of international agricultural research in addressing the complex challenges posed by UN 2030 Agenda and beyond, and identifies the decisions that scientific leaders, donors and policy makers need to take today, and in the years ahead, to ensure that a global population rising to nine billion or more combined with rising incomes and changing diets can be fed sustainably and equitably, in the face of the growing climate threats.

Описание: This text concentrates mainly on the Polish mining industry. It involves mining of a significant quantities of lignite, coal, copper, sulphur and many industrial minerals, which are all discussed in this book.
Описание: The growth of ICT in the last decade has provided opportunities to overcome some of the challenges faced by the agriculture sector. Recent developments such as the increase in the use of mobile-broadband access devices, the Internet of things (IoT), drones, smart networks, capacity for big data analytics, and artificial intelligence have given stakeholders some key tools and technologies to improve production and marketing processes, for example, in agriculture and associated fields. One of the most discussed technologies of late is Distributed Ledger Technology; with blockchain as one example. This publication aims to demystify the technology, provide insight into the opportunities and challenges of implementing blockchain-based systems, and document some case studies on the use of blockchain for agriculture.

Описание: Coal preparation plants are designed to clean impurities, such as soil, sand and rock from coal, to ready it for transportation to power plants and coking facilities for use in steel processing. Monitoring flow through the coal preparation process can be difficult as the coal is abrasive and can cause inaccuracies and maintenance issues for intrusive instruments. A Coal preparation plant generally use gravity process equipment to separate the refuse from the product (coal). Coal has a specific gravity between 1.35 and 1.5, while the refuse rock has a Specific Gravity of 2.1 to 2.3. Heavy Media is the most popular method of cleaning coarse sizes. Heavy media cyclones are being used more often for fines size fractions. Flotation is generally used to clean the -28 mesh size fraction, although spirals and heavy media cyclones have shown success in cleaning down to 100 mesh coal feed. Spirals are generally used for middling sizes. Modular Coal Preparation Plants (MCPP) prepares coal for a cleaner burning process, enhanced calorific value and cleaner emissions. MCPPs consist of several modules including a raw coal preparation (crushing and screening station), a coal feed and washing module (jigging and Heavy Medium cyclone) as well as a dewatering module. Designing the Coal Preparation Plant of the Future provides comprehensive overview on several current and future challenges that must be considered in the design and operation of coal preparation facilities. These challenges dictate that we constantly strive to improve plant. Coal Preparation Engineers are meeting this challenge of the future by designing large modem environmentally acceptable plants.
Описание: The importance of corporate social responsibility with a focus on gender diversity has been widely debated in modern businesses. Of specific issue is the importance of gender diversity and its impact on the mining industry including the communities in which they are established.Corporate Social Responsibility and the Inclusivity of Women in the Mining Industry: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a pivotal reference source that explores how multinational mining corporations influence the life of women in international mining communities. While highlighting topics such as corporate social responsibilities, socioeconomics, and management systems, this publication is ideally designed for industry professionals, engineers, managers, policymakers, academicians, and researchers.
Описание: Focuses on three policy areas that are particularly damaging for developing countries: traditional agricultural subsidy and trade policies that support the incomes of American farmers at the expense of farmers elsewhere; the biofuels mandate; and weak regulation of antibiotic use in livestock.
Описание: This report updates previous studies that measured in economic terms the extent of biological losses attributable to overfishing globally. The new estimates assess these 'sunken billions' at $83 billion annually. The report further shows that a clear path can lead to the recovery of these considerable losses, including through significant reduction in global fishing overcapacity. A breakdown between regions is also included, showing that the effort needed to achieve this reform will not be felt equally throughout the world.While the cost of such reform will likely be high, the expected benefits include an increase in biomass by a factor of 2.7, increase in annual harvests by 13 percent, and a 30-fold increase in annual net benefits accrued to the fisheries sector (from $3 billion to $86 billion annually). This urgent call for action is reinforced by the impacts of climate change on fish stocks and fisheries worldwide.
