Описание: This book introduces a planning support system called Strategic Spatial Plan Support System (SSP-SS) to visualize population growth and predict energy demand, land use, and waste discharge resulting from urbanization. By analyzing policy interactions between household agents, the book uses SSP-SS to visualize policy effects on urban areas during stages of growth and decline. Simulations are created based on these policy outcome assessments, taking into account the influences of energy and resource consumption on sustainable development in urban environments. The book is geared towards researchers, universities, and urban policy makers. The book begins by presenting a framework of urban growth simulation, and introducing SSP-SS. Then, household lifecycle and relocation models are employed for simulating policy impacts on urbanization, and investigating the impacts of spatial strategic planning. Several projects are assessed using agent-based modeling including shopping centre construction, day-care service for aging populations, and shelter accommodation capacities for earthquakes and other disasters. The final chapters discuss water and energy management, the environmental impacts of demand and consumption, and future recommendations for sustainable development and policy implementation. Introduces Strategic Spatial Plan Support System (SSP-SS) to visualize population growth and predict energy demand, land use, and waste discharge resulting from urbanization. Analyzes policy effects on urban areas during stages of growth and decline. Discusses the influences of water and gas consumption on environmental issues in urban areas for sustainable development.

Описание: This Open Access book analyses the emergence of Russia as a global food power and what it means for global food trade. Russia`s strategy for food production and trade has changed significantly since the end of the Soviet period, and this is the first book to take account of Russia`s rise as a food power and the global implications of that rise.
Do you want to grow your own vegetables, fruits, and herbs, but don't have so much space outside?
Are you tired of having to spend money on fruit and vegetables, with the risk that they are genetically modified and treated with pesticides and toxic chemicals?
Do you want to know how to start growing plants through an environmentally friendly method?
Among modern methods of growing crops, hydroponics occupies a special place because of the many benefits it offers. It is nothing more than means the cultivation of plants without soil but in water. And the water is enriched with nutrients. The history of the emergence of hydroponics is associated with centuries of research by scientists, as a result of which a huge number of experiments were carried out that made it possible to determine the optimal balanced nutritional composition to ensure the vital activity of plants. As it turned out, the soil environment for crops is not necessary: plants successfully grow and develop if their root system is in contact with an aqueous medium containing all the necessary substances. This fact became fundamental for the development of hydroponics as a new method of crop production.
Through hydroponics, you no longer have to worry about removing weeds, and fighting pests in the soil. Plants that grow in a hydroponic system are healthier and grow faster. Another advantage is that through specific extensions, a hydroponic system can also be supplied semi-automatically or fully automatically. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for those who do not have a large garden, guaranteeing perfect results.
Hydroponics is important as its further development and improvement of which will help solve the global problems of humankind, including the most significant among them - providing food to an ever-growing number of people on our planet.
All these factors confirm the need to search for new, more effective methods of growing crops, one of which is hydroponics.
In this book we will discuss the following topics:
- How hydroponic gardening works - Growing plants without soil
- How to build your own hydroponic system
- Clarification of understandings of different types of hydroponic gardens
- The different types of hydroponic systems and their pros and cons
- Choosing the right hydroponic system
- Tips and tricks to growing healthy herbs, vegetables and fruits
- Maintenance of your hydroponic garden - myths and mistakes to avoid
- Starting a hydroponics business
With respect to planting without soil, whether for business, for personal consumption, for leisure, or aesthetic purpose, this book holds in it all the details you need. Even if you have an idea of hydroponic systems, the totalistic nature of the content in this book will provide you with more than several good ideas that you can, and should be using.

Описание:
Advances in Nano-Fertilizers and Nano-Pesticides in Agriculture: A Smart Delivery System for Crop Improvement explores the use of nanotechnology for the controlled delivery of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers that improve the safety of products while also increasing the efficiency of food production and decreased environmental pollution. The development of nanodevices such as smart delivery systems to target specific sites, as well as nanocarriers for chemical controlled release are currently important aspects in novel agriculture and require a strong foundation of understanding, not only the technology, but also the resulting impacts.

Описание:
Japan's Household Registration System (koseki seido) is an extremely powerful state instrument, and is socially entrenched with a long history of population governance, social control and the maintenance of social order. It provides identity whilst at the same time imposing identity upon everyone registered, and in turn, the state receives validity and legitimacy from the registration of its inhabitants. The study of the procedures and mechanisms for identifying and documenting people provides an important window into understanding statecraft, and by examining the koseki system, this book provides a keen insight into social and political change in Japan.
By looking through the lens of the koseki system, the book takes both an historical as well as a contemporary approach to understanding Japanese society. In doing so, it develops our understanding of contemporary Japan within the historical context of population management and social control; reveals the social effects and influence of the koseki system throughout its history; and presents new insights into citizenship, nationality and identity. Furthermore, this book develops our knowledge of state functions and indeed the nation state itself, through engaging critically with important issues relating to the koseki while at the same time providing a platform for further investigation. The contributors to this volume utilise a variety of disciplinary areas including history, gender studies, sociology, law and anthropology, and each chapter provides insights that bring us closer to a comprehensive grasp of the role, effects and historical background of what is a crucial and influential instrument of the Japanese state.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese history, Japanese culture and society, Japanese studies, Asian social policy and demography more generally.

Описание:
The Solar Corridor Crop System: Implementation and Impacts presents a case-study format on the planning and implementation of alternative cropping systems designed to maximize incident sunlight and bio-support of all crops in a rotation system. The book describes the basic component of the system, an increased access point of incident sunlight between each row or pairs of rows that enables a more uniform vertical distribution of incident sunlight to chloroplasts within the entire corn leaf canopy. While the production environment and environment specific genetics determine the performance potential of this principle, by maximizing the principles that light is basic to crop yield, a solar corridor ultimately contributes to increased grain yield.
Written by experts who were integral in the development of solar corridor systems, and providing real-world examples of the methods, challenges and future prospects, this book will be valuable for those seeking to increase yield-per-acre through both primary and cover-crops.
Introduces readers to the concept of alternative row-cropping and its implementation
Presents real-world experience, including challenges and solutions
Encourages research in maximizing photosynthesis impact on crop yield
