Economic assessment of different mulches in conventional and water-saving rice production systems

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016
Water-saving rice production systems including alternate wetting and drying (AWD) and aerobic rice (AR) are being increasingly adopted by growers due to global water crises. Application of natural and artificial mulches may further improve water economy of water-saving rice production systems.

An Environmental, Energetic and Economic Comparison of Organic and Conventional Farming Systems

, 2014
Various organic technologies have been utilized for about 6,000 years to make agriculture sustainable while at the same time conserving soil, water, energy and biological resources. Benefits of organic technologies include higher soil organic matter and nitrogen, lower fossil energy inputs, yields similar to conventional systems, and conservation of ...

Productive, environmental and economic performances assessments of organic and conventional suckler cattle farming systems

Organic Agriculture, 2011
Conversion to OF was simulated for four specialized suckler-beef systems by coupling an economic optimization model (“Opt’INRA”) with a model assessing non-renewable energy (NRE) consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (“PLANETE”). After adaptation of the production system, and based on average prices over 2004–2008, we analyzed the productive ...

Economics and Success Factors of Flexible Manufacturing Systems: The Conventional Explanation Revisited

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1990
This article analyzes costs and relative benefits of several hundred flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) in the world. The analyses are based on the computerized data bases, which make it easy to correlate different cost and benefit indicators with each other and to look for regular patterns and tendencies in the applications.
