The energy efficiency and sustainability of an anaerobic green gas production pathway was evaluated, taking into account five biomass feedstocks, optimization of the green gas production pathway, replacement of current waste management pathways by mitigation, and transport of the feedstocks. Sustainability …

The purpose of this thesis is to verify the viability of chia as a high value crop for small-scale farmers in the remote areas of Lempira, providing recommendations to the problem owners and chain actors in the country.

This thesis investigates the vulnerability of the crop production towards extreme weather events in the Drentsche Aa Catchment Area in the future years (From 2085 to 2115) and attempts to find the best solution for dealing with the vulnerability. The main method that has been used is literature study …

Semi-closed greenhouses have been developed in which window ventilation is minimized due to active cooling, enabling enhanced CO2 concentrations at high irradiance. Cooled and dehumidified air is blown into the greenhouse from below or above the canopy. Cooling below the canopy may induce vertical temperature …

This research is conducted for the Food and Agriculture Research and Advisory department at Rabobank North and is designated for internal use only. The research is constructed from desk research and field research by means of interview responses from participants active in various parts of the California …

A (semi-)closed greenhouse is a novel greenhouse with an active cooling system and temporary heat storage in an aquifer. Air is cooled, heated and dehumidified by air treatment units. Climate in (semi-)closed greenhouses differs from that of conventional open greenhouses. The aims of our research were …
