Article
Promoting a sustainable economy through the digital and ecological transition of companies is one of the challenges of our century. By improving processes along the agri-food supply chains and enhancing the data generated in every single area of[...]
Article
This study evaluates the environmental impacts and productivity of a continuous durum wheat cropping system under three sowing dates and two water regimes, i.e., rainfed and irrigation at flowering in the Mediterranean context, specifically in t[...]
Article
CONTEXT Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of existing cropping systems in a given context is a key first step before designing new, more sustainable cropping systems. The concept of multifunctionality can be a useful tool for cropping sys[...]
Article
To attain food security, we must minimize crop losses caused by weed growth, animal herbivores, and pathogens (or "pests"). Today, crop production depends heavily on the use of chemical pesticides (or "pesticides") to protect the crops. However,[...]
Article
Agricultural systems strongly impact ecosystems by driving terrestrial degradation, water depletion, and climate change. The Life Cycle Assessment allows for comprehensive analyses of the environmental impacts of food production. Nonetheless, it[...]

Article
Cover crops are multifunctional, and contribute to improving soil properties and reducing environmental impact compared to no-cover crops, thus could provide multiple soil, agricultural, and environmental benefits, and they are recognized as a v[...]
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[...]

Sustainability and resilience against climate change provided by a territorial crop-livestock system
The development of territorial crop-livestock systems where exchanges between crops and livestock farms are managed in a synergistic way is seen as an opportunity to increase the sustainability and resilience of specialized agricultural systems [...]
Article
To ensure regular and high yields, current agriculture is based on intensive use of pesticides and fertilizers, which are detrimental to the environment and human health. Moreover, as pest resistance to pesticides increases, and more and more pe[...]

Bossuet |Water scarcity will be one of the main issues of the 21 st century, because of competing needs between civil, industrial, and agriculture use. While agriculture is the largest user of water, its share is bound to decrease as societies develop. C[...]
Article
In the future, a cropping system that guarantees food security by delivering high yields and, simultaneously, protects our environment is desperately needed. This can be achieved through a cropping system that waives chemical synthetic plant pro[...]

Hostens | Strasbourg [France] : European Parliament | 2023An increasingly digitised society involves recording human activity and monitoring products and processes. In the agri-food sector this gives rise to large quantities of data. At the same time, data is also generated for research and scientific [...]
Article
L’association de cultures avec les oliviers – arbre emblématique de la région – est une pratique ancienne en Méditerranée. Cette agroforesterie est reconnue pour fournir de multiples services écosystémiques. En Tunisie, l’un des plus[...]

M. Dhouib ; R. Zitouna-Chebbi ; L. Prévot ; J. Molénat ; I. Mekki ; F. Jacob |Exploring crop spatial organizations within landscapes is a promising solution for agroecological transitions and climate change adaptation in Mediterranean rainfed hilly agrosystems. A prerequisite is to ensure that crop models can simulate a r[...]
Article
In the context of climate change, water management is crucial for controlling the reproductive growth and quality of grapes. In this study, we aim to determine the effects of different water regimes on the yield components and chemical compositi[...]

Carbon stocks and changes in biomass of mediterranean woody crops over a six-year period in NE Spain
I. Funes ; R. Molowny-Horas ; R. Savé ; F. de Herralde ; X. Aranda ; J. Vayreda |Carbon sequestration and storage in biomass is one of the most important measures to mitigate climate change. Mediterranean woody crops can sequestrate carbon in the biomass of their permanent structures for decades; however, very few studies ha[...]
Article
Most studies on climate change’s impacts on agriculture focus on modeling techniques based on large-scale meteorological data, while few have investigated how farmer’s perception of climate change’s impacts can affect crop diversity and crop man[...]
