CONTEXT Ongoing decreases in family farms and livestock numbers in European mountain areas are linked to multiple interconnected challenges. The continuity of such farms concerns society at large since they also act as landscape stewards, and th[...]Article
Recent research established a link between environmental alterations due to agriculture intensification, social damage and the loss of economic growth. Thus, the integration of environmental and social dimensions is key for economic development.[...]Article
Increasing the levels of ecosystem services that contribute to agricultural production (ES) is a challenge for the sustainability of agricultural systems. Agricultural advisors lack low-data operational approaches for assessing ES and knowledge [...]Article
One important issue faced by wheat producers is temporal and spatial yield variation management at a within-field scale. Vegetation indices derived from remote-sensing platforms, such as Landsat, can provide vital information characterising this[...]Article
The demand for food based on intensive agriculture has decreased soil quality, posing great challenges such as increasing agricultural productivity and promoting environmental sustainability. Thus, researchers have focused on developing models f[...]Rapport, Expertise, Working Paper
