With rapid progress being made in both theory and practical applications, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of life and leading the world towards a sustainable future. AI technology is fundamentally and radically affecting agriculture with a move towards smart systems. The outcome of this transition is improved efficiency, reduced environmental pollution, and enhanced productivity of crops.
Nondestructive Evaluation of Agro-products by Intelligent Sensing Techniques is a reference which provides readers timely updates in the progress of intelligent sensing techniques used for nondestructive evaluation of agro-products. Chapters, each contributed by experts in food safety and technology, describe existing and innovative techniques that could be or have been applied to agro-products quality and safety evaluation, processing, harvest, traceability, and so on. The book includes 11 individual chapters, with each chapter focusing on a specific aspect of i

A view of the damage to the Otūwhero Inlet, near Mārahau, after ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita barrelled through the Nelson-Tasman region in February 2018. Landslides can be seen in the hills. A new research article identified more than 4500 landslides in a 196 square kilometre area of Tasman District after Gita.
A new research article on landslides that includes suggestions for forestry management on fragile soils in Tasman District is yet to be fully assessed, says Tasman District Council environment and planning manager Dennis Bush-King. The authors of the article, published in the
New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, used gridded rainfall, topography, lithology and land cover surfaces to develop a high-resolution model of more than 4500 landslides that occurred in a 196 square kilometre area of Tasman District in February 2018, during the time ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita brought heavy rain to the region.

A landslide at Sandy Bay, near Mārahau, was one of thousands identified after ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita barrelled through the Nelson-Tasman region in February 2018.
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita left behind more than 4500 landslides when it slammed into the Nelson-Tasman region in February 2018. The authors of a new research article, published in the
New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, used gridded rainfall, topography, lithology and land cover surfaces to develop a high-resolution model of the landslides that occurred in a 196 square kilometre area of Tasman District during the time Gita brought heavy rain to the region. “Our results . reinforce the relevance of land cover, rainfall and topography as predictors of landslides but, most importantly, imply that effective land use management could substantially reduce landslide occurrence in Tasman,” the article says.
