Sillero |Wheat and rice are two main staple food crops that may suffer from yield losses due to drought episodes that are increasingly impacted by climate change, in addition to new epidemic outbreaks. Sustainable intensification of production will rely [...]Article
La France, comme beaucoup de pays pratiquant une agriculture moderne, est une grande consommatrice de produits phytosanitaires. Depuis plusieurs années, des programmes, tels que le plan Ecophyto, ont été mis en place pour inciter les agriculteur[...]Rapport, Expertise, Working Paper

Baum |Low adoption of agricultural technologies slows efforts to increase agricultural productivity and enhance rural livelihoods in developing countries. A large body of literature has sought explanations for the problem, but the focus has been mainl[...]Article
A. Tomaz ; J.F. Palma ; T. Ramos ; M.N. Costa ; E. Rosa ; M. Santos ; L. Boteta ; J. Dôres ; M. Patanita |The evaluation of the role of different agronomic strategies in achieving sustainable wheat yields under variable Mediterranean climate conditions may involve the use of resource-use indicators that combine productivity and environmental impact.[...]Article
Feeding the world's growing population, while producing economic benefits with limited environmental effects, is a major challenge faced by global food supply chains. This is especially apparent when the production stage is predominated by small[...]Article

V. Mereu ; A. Gallo ; A. Trabucco ; G. Carboni ; D. Spano |The Mediterranean basin has been identified as a prominent hotspot of climate change, with expected negative impacts on crop productivity, among others. Given the primary role that agriculture has to sustain cultural values, economic opportuniti[...]Article
T. Kourat ; D. Smadhi ; B. Mouhouche ; N. Gourari ; M.G.M. Amin ; C.R. Bryant |Maintaining sustainability in rainfed wheat production under changing climate is a grave concern for food security in Algeria. This study aims to assess the impact of future climate change on rainfed wheat yield in the semiarid Eastern High Plai[...]Article
Improvements in the sustainability of agricultural production depend essentially on advances in the efficient use of nitrogen. Precision farming promises solutions in this respect. Variable rate technologies allow the right quantities of fertili[...]Article
Volatile prices and income uncertainties are major issues for farmers, leading to a demand for policies that mitigate such risks. However, the budgetary consequences of risk management schemes are uncertain due to their dependence on market pric[...]Article
Intensive agricultural farming systems have negative impacts on the ecosystem. Therefore, the use of crop rotation emerges as an opportunity to improve the environmental sustainability of agricultural systems. In the region of Galicia in north-w[...]Article
F. Cadeddu ; R. Motzo ; F. Mureddu ; F. Giunta |Thanks to their low fertilization requirements and high consumer demand, ancient wheats and old durum wheat cultivars represent an attractive option for the marginal areas of Mediterranean environments no longer cultivated due to the low grain y[...]Article

Chehbouni |The main goal of this research was to evaluate the potential of the HYDRUS-1D numerical model for estimating the soil moisture (θ) at different depths, actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa) and its components (crop transpiration, Ta and soil[...]Article
S. Ouda ; T. Noreldin ; J.J. Alarcon ; R. Ragab ; G. Caruso ; A. Sekara ; M.T. Abdelhamid |In many areas of the world, water shortages prevail and threaten food production. Deficit irrigation was commonly investigated in dry areas as a precious and sustainable production approach. Using the CropSyst model to simulate the effects of di[...]Article
F. Varia ; D. Macaluso ; A. Vaccaro ; P. Caruso ; G.D. Guccione |The adoption of rare, traditional crops represents a good example of enhancing functional agrobiodiversity, not only to provide benefits for farmers but also for society as a whole. The study outlined in this paper aims to verify how and under l[...]Article
