This paper compares the performance of conventional and organic fruit farms in Spain, using a set of base indicators to assess their economic and environmental performance on a per hectare basis. Composite indicators are also calculated to measu[...]Article
J. Zhao ; L. Yu ; T. Newbold ; X. Shen ; X. Liu ; F. Hua ; K. Kanniah ; K. Ma |Largely driven by agricultural pressures, biodiversity has experienced great changes globally. Exploring biodiversity responses to agricultural practices associated with agricultural intensification can benefit biodiversity conservation in agric[...]Article
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges worldwide. There is strong evidence from research that climate change will impact several food chain-related elements such as agricultural output, incomes, prices, food access, food qualit[...]Article
L. Nicita ; F. Bosello ; G. Standardi ; R. Mendelsohn |In the past decades, agricultural landscapes have simplified with crop specialization and the reduction of seminatural covers leading to a decline of biodiversity and (biodiversity-driven) ecosystem services. This study measures the impact of la[...]Article
This study investigates the impact of ex-ante policy scenarios on conventional farmers intentions to adopt smart farming applications and identifies influential factors. Through survey data collected from 117 conventional farmers, three scenari[...]Article
There has been an increase in the demand for agricultural products and different support programs are implemented by countries to keep a sufficient, economically active population in agriculture. The aim of this study was to examine the impacts [...]Article

Chehbouni |There are calls for effective measures to address climate change challenges for socio-economic development. This is a critical review to take stock of the impacts of climate change, and some gains made by Morocco in adapting to and mitigating cl[...]Article
The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war have significantly impacted global supply chains, including the food supply chain, in numerous countries. As one of the leading wheat importers, Egypt has been adversely affected by the simulta[...]Article
The main challenge in the durum wheat production chain is to capture as much as possible of the yield potential, whilst supporting long-term sustainability. The present work mainly aims at assessing the environmental performances of organic, bio[...]E-Book
H.S. Jatav ; V.D. Rajput ; T. Minkina ; E.D. van Hullebusch ; A. Dutta | Singapour [Singapour] : Springer | Sustainable Development and Biodiversity | 2024This edited book brings out comprehensive insights on agro-forestry systems to cope up climate change globally. The main essence of this book is to unfurl the positive sides of agri-silvipastoral system to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) and temp[...]Article
In this article, the impact of the Russia–Ukraine conflict on food security in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is analyzed. With Ukraine being recognized as one of the major global grain producers and exporters, the conflict[...]Article
B. Latrech ; T. Hermassi ; S. Yacoubi ; A. Slatni ; F. Jarray ; L. Pouget ; M.A. Ben Abdallah |Systematic biases in general circulation models (GCM) and regional climate models (RCM) impede their direct use in climate change impact research. Hence, the bias correction of GCM-RCMs outputs is a primary step in such studies. This study compa[...]Ouvrage
F. Goutille, dir. ; J. Candau, dir. ; E. Lambert, dir. | Toulouse [France] : Octarès Editions | Collection Travail et Activité Humaine | 2024À quoi renvoie la notion d'exposition quand elle est mobilisée par les sciences humaines et sociales et quelles méthodologies l'appréhendent ? Avec quels apports complémentaires aux sciences de la santé qui s'en sont saisies historiquement ? À p[...]Article
This study utilises structural gravity models to examine the impact of globalisation on distance in agricultural and processed food trade, the relative effects of international distance and home bias effects. The results show that larger interna[...]E-Book
Le changement climatique a de nombreux effets sur la vigne, dont un développement plus précoce conduisant éventuellement à une plus grande vulnérabilité aux gelées de printemps et à une avancée certaine de la période de maturation des raisins. [...]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
This study assesses the potential impact of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on poverty reduction and agricultural development in Lebanon, against a backdrop of economic crisis and agricultural uncertainties. GMO adoption is considered a vi[...]Article
Dans les rapports du Giec, les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et lempreinte carbone de lagriculture sont surestimées en raison da priori méthodologiques et de conventions statistiques.Article
This article develops a calculation method to compare the total effect of different agricultural land-use systems on biodiversity. The results of the calculations offer a clear indication of which land-use system provides the highest biodiversit[...]Article
P. Benito-Verdugo ; J. Martínez-Fernández ; Á. González-Zamora ; L. Almendra-Martín ; J. Gaona ; C.M. Herrero-Jiménez |Given the growing interest in drought impacts on crops, this work studied the impact of agricultural drought on wheat and barley during the period 2001–2020. The study was carried out in the Spanish regions of Castilla y León and Castilla&[...]Article
This article discusses how climate changes are intersecting with other environmental and social pressures to affect farmers in the Lombardy region of the central Italian Alps. Alpine areas are particularly susceptible to climate change. Natural [...]Article
