This Monograph focuses on the new approaches that urban agriculture offers to grow food in cities. The author paints a dynamic picture of soil-less and indoor techniques that are currently emerging. A growing number of small scale community-led and entrepreneurial initiatives are using such techniques for diverse objectives: to increase resource efficiency; to strengthen food security; to educate and inform or to exploit new market opportunities. The described studies demonstrate how technologies that are typically used in high-tech food production can also be harnessed in small projects to generate social and economic benefits at a local level. The author puts a focus on three aspects: to outline the context within which small scale soil-less urban agriculture is developing in Europe; to give an overview of the state-of-the-art of projects focusing on this area through case study analysis and to elaborate on emerging questions. Such questions include: is the use of soil-less urban agriculture changing the relationship with, and perception of, what is natural and sustainable for urban farmers and small enterprises working in this sector? What is the perceived potential of these soil-less and indoor forms of urban agriculture to meet environmental, social and economic goals? By answering these and other questions, the volume is a valuable resource for researchers in agriculture and sustainability, as well as urban farmers.

The role of agriculture in the provision of food security and the implementation of sustainable development goals (SDGs) is paramount. For example, agriculture plays a significant role in the adaptation to climate change to support SDG-13. Other roles consist of the provision of responsible employment for agricultural personnel within SDG-8 and the unique ability of agriculture to improve environmental conditions based on the regenerative management of natural resources to support SDG-12. Also, agriculture is associated with sustainable development of rural areas to support SDG-11. Digital Agriculture for Food Security and Sustainable Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex is intended to show the strong interrelation of the sustainable developmental goals in modern agriculture and the need for their implementation no matter how complex or involved. The book elaborates on the concept of digital agriculture for food security and sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex and the systemically important role of digitalisation in the SDG-9 sustainable development of modern agriculture. The book is made up of five sections, with the first exploring topical issues of food security and the contribution of digital agriculture in addressing them through the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex. The second section presents a detailed study in the provision of food security and sustainable development. A third section discusses the provision of food security and sustainable development based on digital agriculture in Central Asia while section four looks forward to new opportunities for the development of digital agriculture based on advanced technologies of Industry 4.0. An important final section presents action-oriented solutions and frameworks for the development of digital agriculture based on advanced technologies.

Automation serves as an essential component in business to achieve company goals with qualitatively and quantitatively better results. The use of automation is also in the field of desktop publishing (DTP) indispensable to achieve cost savings in the company and to improve the final results through standardization and error reduction, as well as to relieve employees with regard to laborious and monotonous tasks. This essential aims to summarize the many possibilities of automation in the field of DTP, focusing on repetitive artwork processes in prepress. The content Introduction to the topics of desktop publishing and automation Software-supported automation methods in desktop publishing with focus on Adobe applications Impulses for dealing with the structural change from manual to automated processes in the company The target groups Media designers, software developers, IT system administrators, IT decision-makers The author Ennis Gündoğan studied Business Information Systems and is an IHK-certified Media Designer for Digital and Print. In his job, he currently combines know-how from both fields of activity to realize software projects in the context of DTP automation.

This book is the first comprehensive compilation describing the botanical traits, genetic resources, whole genome sequencing, Mitochondrial genome, transcriptomes of different organs with developmental stages, transcription factors, delineating gene evolution of gene family in Bambusoideae, alternative splicing (AS) and polyadenylation, case studies for economically important traits such as internode length, shoot fast growing, flowering, ageing and stress-resistant genes and small RNAs-mediated gene regulation of moso bamboo flowering and other developmental stages. Applications of transcriptome and genome approaches in moso bamboo in general and the prospects of transgenic breeding and genome editing technologies in bamboo are also discussed. Altogether, the book comprises eleven chapters covered over 200 pages authored by the researchers involved in genomic science, molecular biology, and breeding. This book appeals to graduate students, post-graduate students, research scholars, researchers, and industry players in the field of plantation bamboo in general, bamboo processing and bamboo garden owner and fans of bamboo culture in particular.
