Agri

Terahertz (THz) technology is an active area of research, but only in recent years has the application of THz waves (T waves) in food and agricultural industries been explored.

This edited volume covers all major topics related to agri-food transformation towards sustainability in this era of climate change. The topics cover field crops, horticultural crops, livestock sector, nutritional aspects, application of latest field-based technologies, and agriculture related policies and institutions.

Within the international agri-food community at least four theoretical targets are attracting increasing attention. They are: the established notions of network and commodity chain that are being revisited by way of critical engagement informed by the insights of in depth empirical work, the metrics of calculation and institutional embedding that underpin the rise and functionality of governance technologies, the place of regional networking in creating conditions that make possible agri-food producer participation in local provisioning and supply, and the geo-historical dimensions of interconnection and interdependency in the agri-food sphere.
