Jeuffroy |Given the huge challenges agriculture has to face, both in Northern and Southern countries, a radical change in farming practices towards agroecology is required. Most scientific literature on the design of new farming systems describes de novo [...]Article
La réponse au besoin en eau de lagriculture devient un enjeu crucial face au changement climatique et à lobjectif de souveraineté alimentaire. Avec des ressources en eau et une disponibilité de plus en restreinte en été sur les territoires en[...]Article
Context Organic farming is a fast-growing system considered a holistic approach that benefits the environment. However, previous studies have reported varying results on its productivity when compared to conventional farming systems. Moreover, t[...]Article
Production systems that do not use environmentally sustainable practices are being pressured to change their production strategies. Conventional agricultural practices are associated with negative impacts, such as extensive land use, soil contam[...]Article
In this study, we use a gravity model to analyze virtual water flows due to the trade of agricultural products for Turkey. We calculate virtual water flows of agricultural trade for 326 products and 192 trade partners for 2002?2019. The empirica[...]Article

In recent years, the waste management field has received substantial attention from policymakers, organizations, academics, and researchers due to increased focus on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction as well as concerns around rapid [...]Article
While pesticides are essential to agriculture and food systems to sustain current production levels, they also lead to significant environmental impacts. The use of pesticides is constantly increasing globally, driven mainly by a further intensi[...]Article
The present study aims to support the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) implementation in Greece, by synthesizing an indicator that could be used for abiotic attribute assessments and specifically for geodiversity. S[...]Article
Soil plays an essential role as a habitat, source of nutrients and support for vegetation. Promoting food security and environmental sustainability of agricultural systems requires an integrated approach to soil fertility management. Agricultura[...]Article
The issue of food loss and waste is vital for minimising resource consumption and CO2 emissions. In particular, reducing fruit and vegetable loss and waste would contribute to keeping the food system within planetary boundaries. At the same time[...]Article
The abandonment of agricultural activity has multiple negative economic, environmental and social impacts in rural areas. As a consequence of different socioeconomic, political, environmental and technical drivers, this phenomenon shows an incre[...]Article
Promoting well-functioning ecosystems that maintain the sustainability of agricultural systems in response to climate change remains a major challenge in North Africa. Agroecological practices have the potential to serve as an alternative to che[...]Article
