Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFOLU sector) cover the 24% of global emissions, representing the second hot spot in the contribution to climate change after the energy sector. Thus, the land sector[...]Article
Curbing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to combat climate change is a major global challenge. Although irrigated agriculture consumes considerable energy that generates GHG emissions, the biomass produced also represents an important CO2 sink, wh[...]Article
Increasing pressures surrounding efficiency and sustainability are key global drivers in dairy farm management strategies. However, for numerous resource-based, social, and economic reasons sustainable intensification strategies are herd-size de[...]Article
Several economic approaches can be carried out for managing the environmental impacts in agriculture, i.e. property and bargaining rights, economic incentives, ecological fees, etc. These approaches can be mainly applied to the cultivation phase[...]Article
M. Lambotte ; S. De Cara ; C. Brocas ; V. Bellassen |This paper assesses the drivers of greenhouse gas emissions and economic performances for a sample of dairy farms Protected Designation of Origin dairy farms in France. Investigating caeteris paribus drivers of performance, we conclude that syne[...]Article
This paper examines the rationale for pursuing environmental objectives by reducing food loss and waste (FLW). The main thrust of the literature on this issue is that FLW reduction can make a major contribution to making food systems more sustai[...]Article

Bianchini |Sustainable agricultural management is needed to promote carbon (C) sequestration in soil, prevent loss of soil fertility, and reduce the release of greenhouse gases. However, the influence of agronomic practices on soil C sequestration depends [...]Article
Carbon footprint (CF) labels on agri-food products represent one of the most important tools to convey information to consumers about the greenhouse gases emissions associated with their purchase behaviour. Together with the growing interest of [...]Article
The response of the global food system to the Covid-19 crisis demonstrated not just its capacity to prevent a health crisis turning into a food crisis, but also highlighted deep divisions around the manner in which food security and climate acti[...]Article
Les sols ont été soumis à des pressions sans précédent au cours des dernières décennies, sous leffet conjugué de la croissance de la population et de la demande alimentaire et énergétique. Selon le concept de Rockström et al. (2009), le changem[...]Article
LUnion vise la cible zéro émission carbone en 2050. Cette orientation, qui pèse peu à léchelle du Monde, impacte beaucoup les équilibres socio-économiques des États membres. LUE, nétant pas dotée des compétences fiscales et sociales permetta[...]Article

Vázquez-Rowe |Improving the food supply chain efficiency has been identified as an essential means to enhance food security, while reducing pressure on natural resources. Adequate food loss and waste (FLW) management has been proposed as an approach to meet t[...]Article
J. Drews ; I. Czycholl ; J. Krieter |Recently, consumers concerns towards an environmental friendly food production are growing. The dairy sector contributes to the production of important greenhouse gases such as methane. The life cycle assessment (LCA) method enables to quantify [...]Article
We present for the first time the environmental footprint (EF) of grapes following the methodology proposed by the EU and life cycle assessment (LCA). We used data from three different production systems, conventional high- or low-input and orga[...]Article
R. Mancinelli ; S. Marinari ; M. Allam ; E. Radicetti |Agricultural practices should be approached with environmental-friendly strategies, able to restore soil organic matter and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the environmental benefits, in terms[...]Article
Analysis of energy consumed and greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted by farming systems is considered an important part of an environmental performance's evaluation, especially within an agroecological context. In this study, we focused on the aspects[...]Article
Dairy cows are able to convert fibrous materials, such as grass, roughage, and by-products from the food industry, into milk and meat, which justifies their role in food production. However, modern dairy farming is associated with major sustaina[...]Article
Les changements des variables climatiques telles que la température affectent directement les conditions de vie des espèces marines y compris les espèces de poissons. Dans ce travail, nous avons examiné le niveau dexposition de la distribution [...]Article
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the way their food is produced. This is particularly relevant in the case of meat, due to the impacts that its production methods can have on greenhouse gas emissions and its role in climate change. In [...]Article
Disposing food waste in landfills leads to significant greenhouse gas emissions and lost economic and environmental resources, motivating the need for alternative treatment processes to convert waste to energy and value-added products. Developin[...]Article
We quantitatively assess the impacts of re‐allocating budgetary resources within Pillar 1 of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) from direct income support to a direct greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction subsidy for EU farmers. The analys[...]Article
Large scale urban agriculture (UA) has been considered as a potential contributor to the sustainability and the resilience of the food system. However, its synergy with the tackling of another main challenge in cities, namely the management of o[...]E-Book
D. Deryng, ed. | Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing | Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science | 2020It has been suggested that agriculture may account for up to 24% of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) contributing to climate change. At the same time climate change is threatening to disrupt agricultural production. This collection reviews ke[...]Article
Changer intelligemment nos modes de production et de consommation alimentaires peut avoir un impact considérable sur notre planète.Article
Le Giec est partial. Il ne souligne pas l'apport positif de l'agriculture et de la forêt dans la compensation des émissions de GES.Article
Background: Climate change is on the rise due to continuous greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic activities ever since the industrial revolution. Changing weather conditions are likely to have consequences for horticulture. (2) Objective [...]Article
À travers lexploration de scénarios contrastés, nous évaluerons les fondamentaux sur lesquels reposent des visions alternatives du futur qui partagent les mêmes ambitions de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Pour cela, nous disti[...]Article
Le secteur des transports doit faire face à des mutations profondes : il doit répondre à une demande de mobilité toujours croissante aussi bien pour le transport des biens que pour celui des personnes, tout en intégrant les contraintes environne[...]Thèse, Mémoire, Master
