1. 21. Agrivoltaic system : A possible synergy between agriculture and solar energy

   University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

   Author : Charline Ninon Lolita Dos Santos; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The development of photovoltaic energy requires a lot of land. To maximize the land use, agrivoltaic systems that combine an agricultural and an electrical production on the same land unit are developed. READ MORE

3. 22. The diffusion of biogas technologies in the Brazilian context : A comparative case study in two Brazilian states

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Hanna Guimarães Zanatta; [2020]
   Keywords : biogas technologies; diffusion; socio-technical systems; technological innovation systems; societal embedding; diffusion of innovation;

   Abstract : Brazil is one of the largest biomass producers in the world, thus it has a huge potential for biogas production across all its territory. Nowadays, biogas production remains largely unexplored, representing just a small fraction of its potential. READ MORE

4. 23. Assessing the potential for vertical urban agriculture for multi-storey buildings : a case study of the proposed Culture Casbah development in Rosengård, Malmö

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Francisco Javier Valerio Trujillo; [2020]
   Keywords : urban agriculture; well-being; sustainable development; urban ecological infrastructure; food security; densification; urban ecology infrastructure; community gardens;

   Abstract : This thesis proposes the use of urban agriculture as a tool to address three global challenges related to population growth in cities; densification, climate change and health risk by studying the history and benefits of urban agriculture, it is possible to understand the benefits in better integrating urban agriculture into new urban infrastructure, particularly in high-density housing areas. These benefits include; better living conditions, reduced food transportation, stormwater management and strong links between communities. READ MORE

6. 25. Evaluation of water stress mapping methods in vineyards using airborne thermal imaging

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Alon Zuta; [2020]
   Keywords : Geography; Geographical information systems; GIS; Remote sensing; Cover crop; Thermal imaging; Spatial variability; vineyards; interpolation; water stress index; CWSI; Ig; stem water potential; UAV; Rheingau; Interpolation.; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : With low cost and high efficiency, use of airborne infrared thermography imaging from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has become a widely used technique to measure plant water stress. With that, the use of UAV mounted thermal camera as a precision agriculture technique to map crop water stress is not trivial and its success is depended on variety of factors which are still needed to be studied and understood.
