Tourism has become a priority in national and regional development policies and is considered a source of economic growth, particularly in rural areas. Nowadays, wine tourism is an important form of tourism and has become a local development too[...]Article
The impact of climate change on wheat and barley yields in two regions of the Iberian Peninsula is here examined. Regression models are developed by using EURO-CORDEX regional climate model (RCM) simulations, forced by ERA-Interim, with monthly [...]Article
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how households buy, prepare and consume food, with resultant impacts on food waste generated. These impacts have not yet been properly understood, especially in the context of developing countries. Better under[...]Article

Nicola |The COVID-19 pandemic is causing many victims worldwide and has generated a serious economic crisis. Substantial changes have occurred in the food and ornamental production chains. The aim of the present review has been to summarize some of the [...]Article
In this article, we investigate how pest risk management protocols may affect trade flows of fresh apples. We apply our analysis to two major players in the international trade of fresh apples: France and Chile. These two countries have been cho[...]Article
After thirty years of the framework legislation for parks, their effect on the territories and social communities that created new national park institutes in 1991 was investigated. Some significant indicators were used, such as demography, the [...]Article
Although an emerging literature evaluates the impact of agricultural interventions on food security, studies taking a multi-country perspective are scarce. We construct a cross-project dataset - encompassing 14 household surveys from IFAD-funded[...]Article
After World War II, the European Union launched the Common Agricultural Policy. Since then, this programme has been adapting to the new economic and social realities that the European agricultural sector has been going through. Currently, a larg[...]Article
Pollinator biodiversity loss occurs at unprecedented rates globally, with particularly sharp declines documented in the North Temperate Zone. There is currently no consensus on the main drivers of the decline. Although climate change is expected[...]Article

El Bilali |CONTEXT The COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the most pressing challenges for humanity. The pandemic is affecting all aspects of human lives and livelihoods, including food. In this context, new research shows the nexus between agri-food syst[...]Article
Nowadays, climate change scenarios predict a rainfall irregularity, which poses the problem of water resources scarcity. The use of unconventional water and in particular treated wastewater in agriculture is one of the adopted remedies. This wor[...]Article
Agri-industrial production is supported by the agriculturemigration nexus, in which industrial-scale horticultural production relies on migrant workers. In this article I consider the time-related pressures on workers who are internal migrants [...]Article
Brands hold a promising contribution to align the food system with sustainable farm development. The food system consists of a myriad of, generally small-scale, producers and consumers and retail chains provide the link between the two. As such,[...]Article
J. Meis-Harris ; C. Klemm ; S. Kaufman ; J. Curtis ; K. Borg ; P. Bragge |Transitioning to a circular economy depends on transforming the behaviour of both producers and consumers. Product labelling schemes are regularly offered as a solution to support those shifts. While numerous labelling schemes and related resear[...]Article
Our current food systems not only fail to end malnourishment, but also exhibit substantial ecological impacts. Thus they are an obstacle to achieving numerous Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our authors have a look at the context and expla[...]Article
The Covid-19 pandemic will have impacts that will vary across countries and commodity sectors, reflecting factors such as the importance of trade, differences in the functioning of supply chains and the market which producers and farmers supply.[...]Article
Wheat yield potentials under rainfed Mediterranean conditions have been long limited by late-in-season occurrence of enhanced water deficits and high temperatures, coinciding with sensitive reproductive stages. Present study aims to quantify and[...]Article
Climate change will affect the water resources system, on global and regional levels. Over the past thirty years, the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco have experienced severe droughts, which causes a decrease in water supply that affects both agr[...]Article

Nishimori |Adaptation will be essential in many sectors, including agriculture, as a certain level of warming is anticipated even after substantial climate mitigation. However, global adaptation costs and adaptation limits in agriculture are understudied. [...]Article
The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of climatic change on potato yield and yield variability in Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZs) of Iran during 20412070 (2050s). The Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM) was performed in thi[...]Article
Viticulture and winemaking have a strong socio-economic importance worldwide. Weather and climate represent key forcing factors for grapevine development, yields, and quality. Hence, climate change is expected to pose a strong impact on this cro[...]Article
Dans le monde rural agricole à forte tendance migratoire, la migration internationale peut jouer un rôle prépondérant dans le processus de développement agricole, comme elle pourrait avoir des impacts négatifs. La compréhension fine de ce proces[...]Article
