L'article explore les tensions entre les objectifs économiques et les objectifs sociaux et environnementaux dans un processus de mise à l'échelle d'un business model durable. Une étude de cas qualitative et séquentielle de l'entreprise Biocoop, [...]Article
Article
Food production is an important source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Quantifying the carbon footprint of all the major food categories in different continents is critical for accurately evaluating various aspects of GHG emissi[...]Article
One effect of the 2020 global pandemic was market turmoil over the food production system. Such strong market shocks can also affect the environment, for example, through changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity of production. The [...]Article
Entre 1980 et 2000, loffre alimentaire séloigne du produit brut et se segmente selon le degré délaboration du produit. À partir de lan 2000, se développe une demande daliments alternatifs, notamment biologiques, traduisant laspiration à de[...]Article

Paas |According to stakeholders, many European farming systems are close to critical thresholds regarding the challenges they face (e.g., droughts, price declines), functions they deliver (e.g., economic viability, biodiversity and habitat) and attrib[...]Article
We analyse the theoretical tenets underpinning geographical indications (GIs) and seek to determine whether the number of producers engaged in them matters. To do so, we develop a qualitative methodology to focus on two small-scale cheese produc[...]Article
Growing water imbalance requires a systematic development process to enable the agriculture sector to address what it faces as challenges. However, the overall longevity and efficiency of developed infrastructure become doubtful if water users a[...]Article
In recent years, scholars and practitioners have discussed several challenges related to the fresh-food supply chains (SCs). One of these challenges is the lack of availability of curated, clean, and processed market information for the SC parti[...]Article
Within Circular Economy (CE) studies, the concept of Circular Supply Chains (CSCs) is still not mature, although it is expected to significantly develop in the next few years thanks to the growing interest of scholars, practitioners, and policym[...]Article
Dans les rapports du Giec, les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et lempreinte carbone de lagriculture sont surestimées en raison da priori méthodologiques et de conventions statistiques.Article
This article develops a calculation method to compare the total effect of different agricultural land-use systems on biodiversity. The results of the calculations offer a clear indication of which land-use system provides the highest biodiversit[...]Article
Agricultural production and food are strategically important for nutrition, which is the basic requirement of living. Adequate supply of food depends on the sustainability of agricultural activities. Despite the proportional increase in other se[...]Article
S. von Münchhausen ; J. Kirwan ; D. Maye ; M. Muñoz-Rojas ; T. Pinto-Correia ; P. Prosperi ; D. Vergamini |Globalization of food chains and scale increases in business models are dramatically affecting rural areas in Europe, by a simplification of land use, new urban-rural relations and reshaped social networks. While pressures on land use systems ha[...]Article
Modern food chains are energy intensive processes, which implies environmental impacts and a dependence on non-renewable resources. Nevertheless, some studies tend to underestimate the energy use of transport by assuming some simplifications in [...]Article

The United Nations calls for action to achieve 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). We argue that the current development paradigm is an impediment to achieving several of these goals. We identify 14 agricultural research and development (R&[...]Article
S. Vermeulen ; Jan Cools ; J. Staes ; S. Van Passel |Due to climate change, the frequency and intensity of droughts are expected to increase. To improve resilience to droughts, proactive drought management is essential. Economic assessments are typically included to decide on the drought risk-redu[...]Article
Planet Earth is facing numerous imminent challenges, from climate change to ecological dysfunction, which are largely attributed to anthropogenic activities [...]Article
Recent literature suggests that agricultural value chains are changing rapidly and places an increasing focus on the importance of actors and activities taking place in the 'midstream' of these value chains, after production and prior to final s[...]Article
The article draws on the notion of boundary work to explore innovation in emerging agri-food value chains. Based on a six-year action research study, we examined boundary work among value chain actors and interventions that enabled the reconfigu[...]Article
This study's main goal was to clarify the correlation between Circular Economy Practices (CEP), Eco-Innovation (ECI), Cleaner Production (CLP), and the Resilience of Production Systems (RePS). This experiment research utilized primary data colle[...]Article
