Study Notes
Distinguishing Vegetables from Field Grain Crops
- Vegetables are distinguished from field grain crops in that they are harvested at an immature stage, whereas field grain crops are harvested at maturity.
- Vegetables can constitute a wide range of plants, including leafy greens, roots, tubers, stalks, and flower vegetables.
Characteristics of Vegetable Crops
- Vegetable crops are typically herbaceous, meaning they have no persistent woody stems above the ground.
- Smallholder farmers mainly produce vegetable crops due to their high profitability and potential for intense production.
Importance of Vegetables
- The primary reason for the increasing public awareness about the nutritional and health benefits of vegetables is their high nutrient content and potential to prevent chronic diseases.
- The main reason for the preference of smallholder farmers for growing vegetables compared to cereals is their higher profitability and potential for intense production.
Global Vegetable Trade
- The Middle East and Europe are significant players in the global vegetable export market.
- Vegetable production has a higher potential to increase employment and household income due to its labor-intensive nature and potential for high yields.
Big Data
- Big Data refers to the exponential growth of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data from various sources, including social media, sensors, and IoT devices.
- The primary characteristic of Big Data that sets it apart from traditional data is its volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value (5V characteristics).
5V Characteristics of Big Data
- The 'V' in the 5V characteristics of Big Data stands for value, referring to the value that can be extracted from the data.
- The variety of data refers to the nature of data being structured, unstructured, or semi-structured.
Applications of Big Data
- One of the applications of Big Data in product development is to analyze customer behavior and preferences.
- The healthcare industry has already begun to make significant use of Big Data for impact, such as in personalized medicine and disease diagnosis.
Sources of Big Data
- Examples of sources of Big Data mentioned in the text include social media, sensors, and IoT devices.
