In the 20th century, we made tremendous advances in discovering fundamental principles in different scientific disciplines that created major breakthroughs in management and technology for agricultural systems, mostly by empirical means. However, as we enter the 21st century, agricultural research has more difficult and complex problems to solve.

        The business intelligence (BI) industry has been challenged with poor user adoption for years. Yet, many CIOs continue to push BI as a core initiative. Billions of dollars have been spent on traditional BI, but adoption rates are below 30%. Why? Successfully levering the full capabilities of business intelligence is still difficult to achieve, and product managers are searching for more. These individuals are looking for ways to expand the impact and value of their BI tools but are lost about where to start.
        The overall goal of BI is to provide business teams with the proper data and information at the right time to create insightful, data-driven decision-making. However, these solutions fa... Ver mais

        Many studies reveal the contributions of plant breeding and agronomy to farm productivity and their role in reshaping global diets. However, historical accounts also implicate these sciences in the creation of new problems, from novel disease vulnerabilities propagated through industrial monocrops to the negative ecological and public health consequences of crops dependent on chemical inputs and industrialized food systems more generally.
       Increasingly, historical analyses also highlight the expertise variously usurped, overlooked, abandoned, or suppressed in the pursuit of “modern” agricultural science. Experiment stations and “improved” plants were instruments of colonialism, means of controlling lands and lives of peoples typicall... Ver mais
