The agricultural sector faces various challenges and barriers in transitioning from linear resource consumption to a circular economy. Based on the literature, four key areas of challenges are identified and discussed, conversion technology and [...]Article
Agricultural stakeholders disagree on how to put the general concept of sustainability into practice. But most recognize the need for assessment methods to characterize the current situation and gauge progress yet to be made. Many sustainability[...]Article
This paper looks for empirical support to the existence of a positive nexus between economic and environmental performance in farming as implied by the Sustainable Intensification hypothesis. As the ecological scale at which this nexus actually [...]Article
Food consumption is responsible for most global water consumption and associated environmental consequences. Therefore, quantifying and monitoring the water footprint (WF) of food consumption patterns is relevant to support policymaking toward s[...]Article
Small farms constitute the vast majority of agricultural holdings in the world. Therefore, there are the questions of how the small farm sector should evolve and whether economic and environmental goals can be pursued simultaneously. The main ob[...]Article
H. Gao ; L. Zhangzhong ; W. Zheng ; G. Chen |The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicated that irrigation technology is the key to improving food security. However, the current restricted agricultural water and land resources limit the agricultural production system, and the press[...]Article
Sustainable consumption and production pattern (SCPP) in the food supply chain is the key agenda of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the entire globe may be falling short of its goals for the 2030 agenda as expected. The role o[...]Article
Article
This paper presents a conceptual framework that reflects the current state of thinking on tokenizing circularity in agri-food systems. The framework is built upon classifications of tokens and the key principles of circular economy and shows how[...]Article
This research focuses on the environmental taxation applicable to the agri-food sector and aligns with the objectives of the Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy of the European Green Deal context. Indeed, the methodology of the research develops a theor[...]Article
In the new global era, the process "from farm to fork" as a holistic approach to the production and consumption of food will become a key factor for the sustainability and progress of the food industry [...]Article
Smallholder farmers are key contributors to food security globally, and more so in developing countries. Despite their critical role in food security, smallholder farmers are highly constrained by specific contextual challenges such as climate c[...]Article
As indicated by the recent IPCC report on climate change, the growing number of extreme climatic events (e [...]Article

Wollenberg |A critical question is whether agroecology can promote climate change mitigation and adaptation outcomes without compromising food security. We assessed the outcomes of smallholder agricultural systems and practices in low- and middle-income cou[...]Article
CONTEXT In the French West Indies, the banana sector has made a transition from systems heavily reliant on synthetic inputs to more agroecological systems. However, despite abundant literature on the performance of these systems, few studies hav[...]Article
In recent years, the adverse effect of climate change on soil properties in the agricultural sector has become a dreadful reality worldwide. Climate change-induced abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought and temperature fluctuations are devas[...]Article

CONTEXT With the warming trend and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, accurate crop yield estimation is becoming urgent. Crop yield estimation mainly consists of two methods: crop model simulation and remote sensing observations[...]Article
E. Fouillet ; L. Delière ; A. Flori ; B. Rapidel ; A. Mérot |CONTEXT Winegrowers apply large quantities of pesticides to their vineyards to reduce high cryptogamic pressure. But these practices must change to lower pesticide use and improve viticulture sustainability. Different options for curbing pestici[...]Article
Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are advocated as strategies to improve the sustainability of the agro-food system. The recent literature claims that SFSCs are examples of social experimentation and innovation. By scaling up the positive element[...]Article
