Sustainability and resilience against climate change provided by a territorial crop-livestock system
The development of territorial crop-livestock systems where exchanges between crops and livestock farms are managed in a synergistic way is seen as an opportunity to increase the sustainability and resilience of specialized agricultural systems [...]Article
To ensure regular and high yields, current agriculture is based on intensive use of pesticides and fertilizers, which are detrimental to the environment and human health. Moreover, as pest resistance to pesticides increases, and more and more pe[...]Article

Bossuet |Water scarcity will be one of the main issues of the 21 st century, because of competing needs between civil, industrial, and agriculture use. While agriculture is the largest user of water, its share is bound to decrease as societies develop. C[...]Article
In the future, a cropping system that guarantees food security by delivering high yields and, simultaneously, protects our environment is desperately needed. This can be achieved through a cropping system that waives chemical synthetic plant pro[...]Article

Jacob |Exploring crop spatial organizations within landscapes is a promising solution for agroecological transitions and climate change adaptation in Mediterranean rainfed hilly agrosystems. A prerequisite is to ensure that crop models can simulate a r[...]Article
In the context of climate change, water management is crucial for controlling the reproductive growth and quality of grapes. In this study, we aim to determine the effects of different water regimes on the yield components and chemical compositi[...]Article
Carbon stocks and changes in biomass of mediterranean woody crops over a six-year period in NE Spain
I. Funes ; R. Molowny-Horas ; R. Savé ; F. de Herralde ; X. Aranda ; J. Vayreda |Carbon sequestration and storage in biomass is one of the most important measures to mitigate climate change. Mediterranean woody crops can sequestrate carbon in the biomass of their permanent structures for decades; however, very few studies ha[...]Article
Most studies on climate changes impacts on agriculture focus on modeling techniques based on large-scale meteorological data, while few have investigated how farmers perception of climate changes impacts can affect crop diversity and crop man[...]Article
M. Carof ; O. Godinot ; E. Le Cadre |Biodiversity-based cropping systems are an interesting option to address the many challenges that agriculture faces. However, benefits of these systems should not obscure the fact that creating biodiversity-based cropping systems represents a ma[...]Article
J.J. Cubillas ; M.I. Ramos ; J.M. Jurado ; F.R. Feito |Predictive systems are a crucial tool in management and decision-making in any productive sector. In the case of agriculture, it is especially interesting to have advance information on the profitability of a farm. In this sense, depending on th[...]Article
M. Quinio ; M.-H. Jeuffroy ; L. Guichard ; P. Salazar ; F. Détienne |If the challenges involved in agroecological transition are to be addressed, cropping systems (CS) need to be changed profoundly, which in turn requires innovative design adapted to local conditions. This is however by no means an easy task sinc[...]Article
Specialization and intensification in agriculture have increased productivity but have also led to the spread of monocultural systems, simplifying production but reducing genetic diversity. The purpose of this study was to propose crop diversifi[...]Article

Colombo |Context : Diversified cropping systems are a main pillar of agroecological practices, but their development is hindered by technological lock-in of agri-food systems around a few major crops. There are only a few examples where minor crops succe[...]Article
In Europe today, there is increasing interest in the management of protected spaces, not only in an attempt to ensure their conservation but also because of their enormous potential for promoting rural development. These protected spaces are gen[...]Article
