Sustainable intensification of production will rely [...]Article
M. Ruberto ; A. Catini ; M. Lai ; V. Manganiello |The aim of the research is to analyze economic aspects related to the use of water in agriculture, by evaluating the effect of irrigation on agricultural productivity in a sample of FADN farms in the Veneto region in 2018. Specifically, the chan[...]Article
The Maghreb regions (Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya) are facing increasing water scarcity amplified by inefficient water use and overexploitation of water resources. There is evidence that surface water is diminishing and that g[...]Article
La France reçoit chaque année environ 500 milliards de mètres cubes d'eau de pluie, dont les deux tiers s'évaporent à travers la végétation et le sol. Le reste alimente les eaux de surface et souterraines. En 2017, 32 milliards de mètres cubes d[...]Article
The Water Footprint (WFP) is an estimate of freshwater utilization in food production and its impacts on water resources by individuals, communities and industries. It is partitioned into green component that denotes rain water use, blue, ground[...]Article

Developing and disseminating resilient rice cultivars with increased productivity is a key solution to the problem of limited natural resources such as land and water. We investigated trends in rice cultivation areas and the overall production i[...]Article
Managing the use of water and energy for food production is the main challenge for agriculture in underdeveloped countries. Therefore, a change in farmers insight about resources consumption is essential. This study aims to apply the water-ener[...]Article
Securing agricultural commodities for a growing population requires a paradigm shift in agricultural thinking. An appropriate agricultural development pathway should be determined, which may include larger land extensions and water consumption o[...]Article
This paper examines irrigation management within the Tunisian Water Users Association (WUA),in Nadhour public irrigated area (central of Tunisia). The functioning of 14 WUAs was evaluated based on questionnaires and related interviews. The metho[...]Article
Increasing population and the need for more food has made demands on water resources due to crop productions. One of the strategies for preventing the overuses of safe water resources for agriculture is to increase agricultural productivity by r[...]Article
The countries in the Mediterranean basin increasingly specialized in Mediterranean agricultural products for exports throughout the twentieth century. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to quantify and discuss on the impacts th[...]Article
Today, the benefits of climate diversity and scaling up farmers' coordination to the landscape are particularly crucial in meeting increasing food demand and planning crop cultivation. The growing population with changing dietary patterns create[...]Article
