Food Security Strategy, Macroeconomic Dynamics and Food Import Sensitivity in Qatar

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Qatar has limited agricultural land and water resources and therefore remains highly dependent on food imports. This structural dependency makes Qatar vulnerable to external shocks such as the recent Gulf crisis, threatening food security and disrupting global supply chains. In response to previous shocks, Qatar started implementing a National

Design and techno-economic feasibility analysis of on-grid and off-grid rooftop PV systems as a sustainable energy solution for mosques: A case study of a mosque in Jeddah

Next Energy
This study investigates the utility of rooftop areas of mosques in meeting their electric demands, considering on-grid and off-grid-with-battery solutions, by taking a case of a typical Saudi mosque in Jeddah that has an annual load of 189,970 kWh ...

Self‐Driving Laboratory Optimizes the Lower Critical Solution Temperature of Thermoresponsive Polymers

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A low‐cost, self‐driving laboratory is developed to democratize autonomous materials discovery. Using this "frugal twin" hardware architecture with Bayesian optimization, the platform rapidly converges to target lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values while self‐correcting from off‐target experiments, demonstrating an accessible route to data‐

Objectives and Key Results–Driven Multiagent Framework for Mechanical Design and Simulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Objectives and key results (OKR)‐agent, an OKR‐driven multiagent framework, turns a plain‐language engineering goal into completed mechanical simulations. Three peer agents—supervisor, modeler, and simulator—share a compact board of OKR and coordinate external molecular dynamics (MD) and finite‐element solvers through a standardized tool interface. The

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.
