Les aides de la Politique agricole commune (PAC) sont, pour la plupart, distribuées par hectare de surface agricole utile. Par définition, les petites exploitations en touchent peu et pourtant, leurs contributions économiques, environnementales [...]Article
To guarantee an adequate food supply for the world's growing population, intensive agriculture is necessary to ensure efficient food production. The use of pesticides helps maintain maximum productivity in intensive agriculture by minimizing cro[...]Article
Climate variability and extremes, socio-economic conditions, crisis and market shocks are among the main factors determining risk in the agricultural sector. Drought, heat stress, flood, market volatility among the others, have caused heavy loss[...]Article
The agricultural sector in Algeria has always sparked a fascinating and captivating debate for years, in particular in the phase of economic transition started and triggered after the sharp fall in the price of the barrel and the need to adapt t[...]Article
Adoption of sustainable agriculture innovations is acknowledged to be an effective response to agro-ecological challenges, such as climate change, pests, drought, natural catastrophes, and food insecurity. However, its level of dissemination is [...]Article
Despite world food production keeping pace with population growth because of the Green Revolution, the United Nations (UN) State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022 Report indicates that the number of people affected by hunger has i[...]Article
Reduction of pesticide use is one of the major challenges in the agricultural sector. Several methods, including efficiency analysis, have been proposed to address this issue. In general, efficiency analysis in the use of pesticides is conducted[...]Article
S. Zingale ; P. Guarnaccia ; A. Matarazzo ; G. Lagioia ; C. Ingrao |It is recognised today that the global food system does not always deliver good nutrition for all human beings, and, additionally, dramatically contributes to climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. In particular, the c[...]Article
B. Thompson ; A.P. Barnes ; L. Toma |Understanding what influences the adoption of multiple sustainable farming practices, a concept we call adoption intensity, is critical to the sustainable development of our food system. Drawing on a survey of European farmers, and using structu[...]Article

Arampatzis |Despite the fact that the olive tree is one of the best-adapted species in Mediterranean hydroclimate conditions, climate extremes impose negative effects on olive fruit set and development and subsequently on crop yield. Considering that the fr[...]Article
The worlds population grows yearly, so increasing food production is necessary, to meet consumer demands. This production must be clean; thus, sustainable agriculture seems to represent a solution. However, social, economic, and environmental b[...]Article
The agricultural sector is one of the key sectors that need to be transformed in order to mitigate climate change. The use of predictive models supported by big data ("big data predictive tools") has already been named in the literature as one k[...]Article
Parcel-level cropland maps are an essential data source for crop yield estimation, precision agriculture, and many other agronomy applications. Here, we proposed a rice field mapping approach that combines agricultural field boundary extraction [...]Article
Cet article questionne la construction de la performance globale des exploitations agricoles en Circuits courts et de proximité (CCP) à partir des attentes des agriculteurs engagés dans ces circuits. L'analyse repose sur l'objectivation du disco[...]Article
Society recognises the importance of agriculture to supply goods, which are essential for human survival and well-being. Sustainable agriculture is an important goal since resources need to be preserved for future generations. The recent agricul[...]Article
Despite the increasing demand for food, agricultural systems are struggling with new challenges such as climate change, depletion of natural resources, loss of biodiversity and disease. This struggle requires not only ecological changes but also[...]Article
Most studies on climate changes impacts on agriculture focus on modeling techniques based on large-scale meteorological data, while few have investigated how farmers perception of climate changes impacts can affect crop diversity and crop man[...]Article
Les collectifs d'agriculteurs sont considérés comme des leviers pour les transitions agricoles. Parmi la diversité de collectifs existants, de nouvelles formes de collectifs tournés vers une agriculture alternative et agroécologique émergent et [...]Article
