  1. 1. Wireless Sensor Network for Controlling the Varroasis Spread within Bee colonies across a Geographical Region

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Venkat Sai Akhil Dasyam; Saketh Pokuri; [2024]
    Keywords : Wireless Sensor Networks; Monitoring and Control; Precision Beekeeping; Disease spread; Internet of Things.;

    Abstract : Background: With the global decline of honey bee populations, safeguarding these vital pollinators has become crucial. Varroa destructor mites are a primary threat, weakening bees and facilitating the spread of diseases, which can decimate colonies and disrupt ecosystems. READ MORE

  3. 2. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

    Abstract : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.
