Vlontzos |The agricultural sector in the Mediterranean Basin is the largest consumer of water, using 70% of freshwater resources for crop irrigation, which accounts for 85% of the region’s agricultural output. With climate change and population growth exp[...]
Article
S. Yvoz ; M. Lechenet ; P. Amiotte-Suchet ; T. Castel ; E. Betting ; M. Ubertosi |The increase in crop water stress is one of the most critical effects of climate change and threatens farm production and food security both locally and globally. The adaptation process of the entire food system must be grounded in a local quant[...]
Article
Given agriculture's direct dependence on nature, the climate change effects on agroecosystems may reduce (in quantity and/or quality) agroecosystem services and increase agroecosystem disservices. To achieve a transition pathway for sustainable [...]
Article
Rainfed agriculture, sustaining billions globally, faces escalating threats from climate change, yet the role of green water (soil moisture) in quantifying these risks remains critically understudied. We quantify green water scarcity (GWS)—insuf[...]
Article
Y. Xu ; A. Albalawneh ; M. Al-Zoubi ; H. Baroud |Climate variability poses a significant threat to crop production in arid and semi-arid regions, where droughts are becoming more frequent and intense. This study employs a variance-based sensitivity analysis combined with machine learning to as[...]
Article
Numerous life cycle assessments (LCA) have been performed on tomato production; however, results vary greatly due to different system boundaries and assumptions, tomato production methods, and geography. This study seeks to identify the major dr[...]
Article
This article seeks to demonstrate the value of landscape character assessment in addressing the unique needs of remote areas, located at national insular borders, with lower levels of development and economic activity. The paper assesses and pre[...]
Article
Water scarcity, environmental factors, and climate change significantly impact agricultural productivity, making efficient irrigation strategies essential for sustainable crop production. The aim of this study is to determine how different soil [...]
Article
This study explores global research trends, regional challenges, and methodological approaches in food-water-energy (FWE) nexus research within agricultural contexts from 2000 to 2024. A bibliometric analysis of 929 articles indexed in the Web o[...]
Article
S.D. Yilmaz ; S. Ben-Nasr ; A. Mantes ; N. Ben-Khalifa ; I. Daghari |This paper constructs an empirical, multi-sectoral, open-economy Stock-Flow Consistent (SFC) model to assess the long-term macroeconomic impact of a sustained climate-induced decline in Tunisia's agricultural production. Our framework captures t[...]

Roggero |This study focuses on groundwater governance in Mediterranean socio-ecological systems, where anthropogenic and climate-related pressures lead to issues such as overexploitation, salinisation, and pollution, particularly in coastal areas. It pro[...]
Article
The increasing severity of water scarcity in southern Europe, caused by climate change, requires advanced and more efficient approaches to agricultural water management. In particular, in this paper, we address this problem for olive groves-a co[...]
Article
Sustainable water management requires integrated approaches balancing competing demands and environmental sustainability. This study introduces the Sustainable Water Optimization Tool (SUWO), an open-source, Python-based simulation-optimization [...]

Pergamo |Among its various targets on restoring natural habitats and ecosystems in the EU, the recently adopted Nature Restoration Law (NRL) introduces ambitious targets for restoring surface water bodies (SWBs) as well. Simultaneously, the Italian CAP S[...]
Article
The unique features of high-quality agri-food production are rooted in the specificities of ecosystems, interpreted through an anthropocentric lens. In Italy, such products are nationally certified with labels that enhance both their market valu[...]
