Z. Unnisa ; A. Govind ; M. Marchetti ; B. Lasserre |The ever-increasing water demands in the agricultural sector of the Mediterranean basin region (MBR) under climate change warrants that crop water productivity (WP) is a pertinent topic for discussion. Considering this need, this study aims to s[...]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
Agricultural intensification has strongly impacted ecosystems and accelerated the process of global change. Consequently, agroecological practices are being increasingly adopted. Agroecological practices are biodiversity-based solutions that aim[...]Article
A. Paulus ; N. Hagemann ; M.C. Baaken ; S. Roilo ; V. Alarcón-Segura ; A.F. Cord ; M. Beckmann |Agri-environmental schemes (AES) belong to the main instruments of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to foster sustainable farming practices that contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, ecosystem services, climate cha[...]Article
A. Mamassi ; H. Marrou ; M. El Gharous ; J. Wellens ; F.-E. Jabbour ; Y. Zeroual ; A. Hamma ; B. Tychon |Crop models have evolved over the past decade to incorporate more soil-related processes. While this may open avenues to support farmers regarding fertilization practices, it also widens the pitfalls related to model parametrization. Open-access[...]Article
M. Salman ; I. Ferto ; E. Pék ; I.A. El-Desouky ; S. Zaki ; R. Darwesh ; F. Lebdi ; Q. Alali |Irrigation development is essential for reducing vulnerability to water resource scarcity, food insecurity, and climate change impacts in Egypt. The centralized irrigation development must, however, overcome the challenges of the diversity of sm[...]Article
J.D. Hader ; T. Lane ; A.B.A. Boxall ; M. MacLeod ; A. Di Guardo |European agricultural development in the 21st century will be affected by a host of global changes, including climate change, changes in agricultural technologies and practices, and a shift towards a circular economy. The type and quantity of ch[...]Article
Cropping system design is being transformed through the twofold evolution of agricultural practices for an agroecological transition, and of equipment diversification for agrotechnical needs. Among the most well-known drivers there are genetic s[...]Article
Agri-environmental policies in Europe are failing to sufficiently address ongoing environmental degradation, biodiversity decline, climate impacts, and societal demands for sustainability. To reverse this, policymakers, practitioners, and farmer[...]Article

F. Taghikhah ; J. Borevitz ; R. Costanza ; A. Voinov |Threats to sustainable food production are accelerating due to climate change, population growth, depletion of natural capital, and global market instability. This causes significant risks to farmers, consumers, and financial and policy institut[...]Article
Preservation and promotion of agroforestry systems entails the ideology for more ecosystem services, additional biodiversity benefits and climate change mitigation. Furthermore, farmland and forest landscapes and the consequent benefits to the e[...]Article
Global scenario-based modelling efforts to support biodiversity policies typically consider agriculture only as a pressure factor. Current scenarios typically include the expansion of protected areas combined with higher agricultural productivit[...]Article
Current European agriculture policies and strategies are aimed to boost the transition from the predominant conventional to a more environmentally friendly agriculture model. As part of this, it is crucial to identify the barriers that exist to [...]Article
Many stated preference studies have shown that individuals attitudes play an important role in explaining their behaviour and helping to disentangle preference heterogeneity. When responses to attitudinal questions are introduced into discrete [...]Article
