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
D. Pasquel ; D. Cammarano ; S. Roux ; A. Castrignanò ; B. Tisseyre ; M. Rinaldi ; A. Troccoli ; J.A. Taylor |CONTEXT Most crop models are designed for point-based modeling and to simulate agronomic variables on their native spatial footprint, i.e. typically as a uniform field-scale value. Precision agriculture needs crop model simulations at sub-field [...]Article
Climate change is expected to affect the agricultural sector in ways that are often unclear to predict. If in the short- and medium-terms farmers may adapt to climate change by adjusting their agricultural practices, in the long-term, these adju[...]Article
K.U. Rehman ; S. Andleeb ; M. Ashfaq ; N. Akram ; M.W. Akram |Agriculture plays a vital role in global food security, but conventional practices have led to environmental degradation and health risks due to excessive use of agricultural nutrients and chemicals. In this era of increased consumer awareness a[...]Article
R. Belmin ; M. Paulin ; E. Malézieux |Climate change is increasingly affecting agriculture worldwide, causing yield losses and undermining food security. Behind the international consensus on the urgent need for ambitious policies to adapt agriculture to climate change (AACC) hides [...]Article
Precision agriculture technologies can help reduce nitrogen losses and the associated negative environmental impacts. As the adoption rate of such technologies in small-scale farming systems is still low, additional policy measures are required [...]Article

Krzyszczak |During the last decade, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has prioritised measures focused on sustainability and quality over production. The purpose of the AGRICORE project is to develop a tool based on agent-based modelling to assist policymake[...]Article
Emerging technologies associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) have enabled improvements in global food security situations. However, there is a limited understanding regarding the extent to which stakeholders are involved in AI modelling re[...]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
P.D. Wagner ; S. Kumar ; N. Fohrer |There is a common scientific understanding that global change impact analysis, mitigation, and adaptation require interdisciplinary work. Integrated modeling could help to address the challenges associated with the impacts of global change. Part[...]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
The objectives of this paper are to determine the factors that influence interannual movements of farms between income categories, and to forecast future income categories of farms under several different market, climate, and policy scenarios. T[...]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
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
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
National crop yields are difficult to estimate during a crop season and are usually only known after crop harvest. The goal of this study was to develop a simple methodology to estimate national wheat yields that could be easily applied to any c[...]Article
