Predicting crop yields is one of the most challenging tasks in agriculture. It plays an essential role in decision making at global, regional, and field levels. Soil, meteorological, environmental, and crop parameters are used to predict crop yi[...]Article
The expanded use of water-intensive crops, such as maize, has exacerbated soil drying and water scarcity in watersheds with large irrigated surfaces. As we face climbing drought risks, water can be conserved in such areas by adopting agricultura[...]Article
N. Bamber ; R. Johnson ; E. Laage ; G. Dias ; P. Tyedmers ; N. Pelletier |The purpose of this manuscript is to review LCA studies of organic field crops to identify best practices in collecting life cycle inventory data. Previous LCA studies of organic field crops from 2010 to 2021 were identified and data were collec[...]Article
Traceability is among the most significant challenges in supply chains, where multiple stakeholders and activities are involved in the production and distribution of products. No supply chain can become sustainable without effectively addressing[...]Article

Global and regional interest in the sustainable management of limited freshwater supplies to meet the rapidly increasing population and food dem[...]Article
Complex agricultural problems concern many countries, as a result of competing economic and environmental objectives. In this work we model three common agricultural problems through optimization techniques: a water-scarce area with overexploite[...]Article
C.D. Pérez-Blanco ; R. Parrado ; A.H. Essenfelder ; J. Bodoque ; L. Gil-García ; C. Gutiérrez-Martín ; J. Ladera ; G. Standardi |Farmers' adaptation responses to water conservation policies involve a complex decision-making process that depends on a range of criteria, including water availability, profits, and risks, which are in turn dependent on (and might have conseque[...]Article
Comparison of selected mathematical programming models used for sustainable land and farm management
The aim of this study is to compare three mathematical programing models used for sustainable land and farm management. The sample for the comparison was 219 agricultural holdings participating as beneficiaries of the measure Modernization of a[...]Article
J. Elfarkh ; V. Simonneaux ; L. Jarlan ; J. Ezzahar ; G. Boulet ; A. Chakir ; S. Er-Raki |Quantification of actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa) over large areas is a critical issue to manage water resources, particularly in semi-arid regions. In this study, four models driven by high resolution remote sensing data were intercompared[...]Article
The study proposes an agent-based model to investigate how adoption of climate smart agriculture (CSA) affects food security. The analysis investigates the role of social and ecological pressures (i.e. community network, climate change and envir[...]Article
Groundwater is a vital water resource for economic, agricultural, and domestic purposes in arid regions. To reduce water scarcity in arid regions, recently, remote sensing and GIS techniques have been successfully applied to predict areas with p[...]Article
The purpose of this study is twofold: firstly, to provide a literature review of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) critical factors, practices and performance; and secondly, to develop a comprehensive and testable model of SSCM in the f[...]Article
This study sought to propose a theoretical model by determining the incident factors of agro-industrial territorial development based on the existing scientific literature and the exploration of successful case studies in the sector worldwide. A[...]Article
P. Beullens ; Y. Ghiami |In this article, we examine how an Operational Research (OR) modeling approach can help in identifying how structural components in the supply process of a food product subject to a small probability of almost immediate failure affects the amoun[...]Article
In the last two decades, research on water resource monitoring and management has mainly been aimed at reducing irrigation water volume and energy consumption [...]Article
B. Alturk ; H.C. Kurc ; F. Konukcu ; I. Kocaman |Land use suitability for cattle farming is critical in sustainable land use planning and minimizing the environmental problems arising from farms. This study contributes to bridging the gap between classical application formulations that support[...]Article
Global scenario-based modelling efforts to support biodiversity policies typically consider agriculture only as a pressure factor. Current scenarios typically include the expansion of protected areas combined with higher agricultural productivit[...]Article
Recent econometric work suggests that there is a positive link between the development of land rental markets and the migration of workers out of agriculture in the developing world. I investigate this claim using a two-sector model of structura[...]Article
J.A. Martínez-López ; R. López-Urrea ; A. Martínez-Romero ; J.J. Pardo ; J. Montero ; A. Domínguez |Scarcity of water resources is one of the main constraints on agricultural activity in arid and semi-arid areas. Despite the great technological development over recent decades, farmers are demanding methodologies and tools adapted to their trai[...]Article

Fumagalli |Regional-to-global studies of hydrology, water availability and water use, and their interaction with agricultural production and food security require accurate information on the location and extent of irrigated croplands. In this study, we der[...]Article
J. Wang ; M. Bretz ; M.A.A. Dewan ; M.A. Delavar |Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) are of importance in natural resource management, environmental modelling and assessment, and agricultural production management. However, LULCC detection and modelling is a complex, data-driven process in [...]Article
M.S. Kivi ; B. Blakely ; M. Masters ; C.J. Bernacchi ; F.E. Miguez ; H. Dokoohaki |As we face today's large-scale agricultural issues, the need for robust methods of agricultural forecasting has never been clearer. Yet, the accuracy and precision of our forecasts remains limited by current tools and methods. To overcome the li[...]Article
Accurate information about the irrigated surface is essential to help assess the impact of irrigation on water consumption, the hydrological cycle and regional climate. In this study, we compare recently developed operational and spatially trans[...]Article
CONTEXT Agricultural systems are generally characterised by many dependent variables that represent their management practices and performances. Parametric approaches are usually used to explore data collected from farms and relations among vari[...]Article
The main type of consumptive water use is crop evapotranspiration. The historical evolution of crop evapotranspiration depends on climate and cropland changes. These two latter variables present complex interactions and are expected to continue [...]Article
