Abstract:
Agriculture is a primary sector of production that is important for providing basic raw materials for many sectors. There seemed to be more people practicing it traditionally, and this situation is limiting the buoyancy of agricultural productivity. Traditional agriculture cannot fully thrive in the 21st century. This is because the global human population is currently growing at an alarming rate that is much higher than the agricultural productivity requirements to strike a balance, especially between food demand and supply. Hence, there is a need to take advantage of technology and incorporate it into agriculture with a view to bridging the gaps created by traditional agriculture. In this review paper, agricultural productivity information as it relates to the human population is presented. Also presented was background information on digital technology and its connections to agriculture through the use of some existing digital technology devices for improved productivity. Furthermore, matters relating to the rice value chain, with specific attention to Nigeria, were given extensive consideration. The circular economy (CE) approach was presented as a means of converting the three (3) major rice value chain by-products or wastes (straw, husk, and bran) to other value-added products. The CE will protect the environment and make it more friendly. Also, it will improve productivity, increase income, and create better living conditions for those in the rice value chain in Nigeria.
摘要:
农业是生产的主要部门,对于为许多部门提供基本原材料很重要。传统上似乎有更多的人在练习,这种情况限制了农业生产力的浮力。传统农业在21世纪无法充分发展。这是因为全球人口目前正以惊人的速度增长,远远高于农业生产力要求达到平衡,特别是在食物需求和供应之间。因此,有必要利用技术并将其纳入农业,以弥合传统农业造成的差距。在这篇综述论文中,提供了与人口相关的农业生产力信息。还介绍了关于数字技术及其通过使用一些现有数字技术设备提高生产率与农业的联系的背景信息。此外,与大米价值链有关的事项,特别关注尼日利亚,得到了广泛的考虑。循环经济(CE)方法被提出作为转化三(3)个主要大米价值链副产品或废物(秸秆、外壳,和麸皮)到其他增值产品。CE将保护环境并使其更加友好。此外,它将提高生产力,增加收入,并为尼日利亚大米价值链中的人们创造更好的生活条件。
