Without delving into all the pressing issues that are of relevance to the small-scale farming sector (finance, marketing strategies, irrigation, etc.), it analyses the level of public resources available to support small-scale farmers, how these funds are spent, and who is reached, and on this basis proposes a set of options to be taken in the ...
Small-scale biodiesel production has been growing due to higher fuel prices, a desire for energy independence, and interest in environmentally friendly renewable fuel production. Although the biodiesel manufacturing process is fairly straightforward, there are several aspects of biodiesel production that need careful attention to detail for a
An optimal nursery size that could provide livelihood benefits is one producing about 25,000 seedlings per annum. Very small nurseries would incur high seedling production costs, and would probably not justify the expenditure required for durable infrastructure and certified seedling production (Herbohn et al. 2011).
This paper reviews forestry seedling production systems in South-east and East Asia and identifies problems with respect to seedling quality, seedling distribution and financial sustainability, and measures which have been adopted or advocated to improve performance in this sector. The paper draws in particular on experience in a series of …
In large-scale production, chickens are caught by grabbing both legs just above the feet. No more than three birds should be carried in one hand. Crews of 10 people catch and crate birds at the rate of 10,000 per hour, …
This refueling system is relevant for Case Study 1 addressed in Chapter 3.1 (hydrogen production from a small-scale hydroelectric power plant, with or without local HRS) and includes a dry running piston-type compressor which feeds hydrogen from the medium pressure storage bank to a high-pressure storage at about 900 bar.

Seed production areas (SPAs) are critical infrastructure for ecological restoration, particularly in fragmented landscapes where wildland seed crops are unavailable or wildland harvest is unsustainable. SPAs are useful for a wide range of species that are amenable to cultivation. Despite increasing research on SPAs, their …
The production of vegetable seedlings is an extremely important operation. If farmers do not use high-quality, healthy and vigorous seedlings, yield potential cannot be achieved.
China has the largest market for small-scale LNG plants. The difference in the price of gas and diesel, as well as the government's rule to reduce air pollution, has been caused development of this industry in China [11]. In the United States, at least 14 small-scale LNG production plants have been built to produce fuel of vehicles [12]. …
