Proceeding of the 1st International Conference on Tropical Agriculture


Book Description

The proceeding of tropical agriculture is a proceeding of papers presented at the International Conference on Tropical Agriculture. Sustainability of agriculture production system is an important issue in the world, which includes all aspects of sustainable criteria, such as technical, socio-economic, and ecological aspects. This book covers sustainable tropical agriculture, sustainable tropical fisheries, sustainable tropical animal production, sustainable tropical forestry, tropical animal health, and Innovative and Emerging Food Technology and Management. The most common, challenging issues in plant, animal and fisheries production in the tropics are climate change, inefficiency production system, low technological innovation, decreasing environment quality, and the outbreak risk of pest and diseases. These issues are closely linked to the socio-economic condition of farmers as small-scale farms are dominant in this area. In addition, post-harvest technology is crucial to maintaining the high quality of products after on farm production. This volume provides the recent research and development on tropical agriculture production systems for plant, terrestrial animal and aquatic animal to establish sustainable agriculture production in the tropics.




Proceedings of the 2023 2nd International Conference on Economics, Smart Finance and Contemporary Trade (ESFCT 2023)


Book Description

This is an open access book.The relationship between international trade and economic development is mutual: foreign trade is the driving force of economic growth, and higher export level means that a country has the means to improve its import level. The growth of exports also tends to change the investment fields of the countries concerned. Exports make a country gain the benefits of economies of scale, and competition in the world market will put pressure on a country's export industry, A growing export sector will also encourage domestic and foreign investment. The concept of financial development actually means that the financial structure has changed to a certain extent. This change is not only the change of time, but also the change of internal transaction flow. International trade is known as the driving force of the development of human science and technology, and has created countless employment opportunities worldwide. It is also international trade that has led to the formation of industrial division worldwide. International trade, from its name, can be seen as trade between different countries, and the financial development level of a country will have a direct impact on the trend of international trade, so the purchasing power will be stronger. In this case, more countries are willing to increase import and export trade, which can not only increase their income, but also increase the relationship between countries. The 2nd International Academic Conference on Economics, Smart Finance, and Contemporary Trade (ESFCT 2023) will be held on July 28–30, 2023 in Dali, China. The purpose of ESFCT 2023 is to explore the relationship between economy, smart finance and contemporary trade. Experts and scholars in relevant fields are welcome to participate in ESFCT 2023.

Proceedings of the 2nd International Academic Conference on Blockchain, Information Technology and Smart Finance (ICBIS 2023)


Book Description

This is an open access book.With the rapid development of modern economy and Internet technology, the traditional financial industry has to develop Internet finance to provide better services and meet the needs of the times. It is against this background that the blockchain, relying on its special advantages (collective maintenance, reliable databases, and decentralization), provides the reliability to solve the credit risk of Internet finance, has an impact on institutions, trust mechanisms, risk control, etc. in the Internet finance industry, and has derived more new application scenarios, thus paving the way for the development of finance in the Internet era. Applying blockchain technology to the financial field can promote data information sharing, improve value transmission efficiency, and enhance database security. The financial market based on the decentralized system of blockchain technology can reduce the operating costs of financial institutions, improve economic efficiency, and solve problems such as information asymmetry. The new financial business model of "blockchain+finance" is conducive to improving the Internet credit reporting system, preventing and controlling Internet financial risks, and further realizing "financial disintermediation". At present, in China's financial field, blockchain technology has been applied and innovated in supply chain finance, cross-border payment, trade finance, asset securitization and other scenarios. To promote the exchange and development of blockchain, information technology and financial experts and scholars. The 2nd International Academic Conference on Blockchain, Information Technology and Smart Finance (ICBIS 2023) will be held in Hangzhou from February 17 to 19, 2023. This conference mainly focuses on the latest research on "blockchain, information technology and smart finance". This conference brings together experts, scholars, researchers and relevant practitioners in this field from all over the world to share research results, discuss hot issues, and provide participants with cutting-edge scientific and technological information, so that you can timely understand the development trends of the industry and master the latest technologies, broaden research horizons and promote academic progress.




Tropical Agriculture in Transition — Opportunities for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions?


Book Description

Production from tropical agricultural systems will need to increase to satisfy the rising food demand of an increasing population coupled with changes in consumption patterns. At the same time, the agricultural sector is a significant source of greenhouse gases (GHG) in many developing countries, which can be attributed mainly to land-use change and methane emissions from rice and livestock. But how can we reconcile less GHG emissions from tropical agricultural systems while increasing productivity? Due to the interactive nature of these issues, this book is compiled of articles on natural resource management, as well as the socio-economic aspects of GHG mitigation. The scope of mitigation options in tropical agriculture is discussed for three different activities: (a) agroforestry; (b) rice-based production systems; (c) pasture/animal husbandry. Agronomic solutions alone will not be sufficient, as the institutional and economic frameworks within which farmers operate dictate whether a recommended agronomic management practice is acceptable. The prevention of deforestation, and the re-forestation of degraded land, could become key elements to national climate protection programs of some developing countries. Alternative management practices in rice-based and pasture systems may offer win-win options to reduce emissions and improve resource-use efficiencies.
