Reduction of pesticide use is one of the major challenges in the agricultural sector. Several methods, including efficiency analysis, have been proposed to address this issue. In general, efficiency analysis in the use of pesticides is conducted[...]Article
S. Zingale ; P. Guarnaccia ; A. Matarazzo ; G. Lagioia ; C. Ingrao |It is recognised today that the global food system does not always deliver good nutrition for all human beings, and, additionally, dramatically contributes to climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. In particular, the c[...]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
The worlds population grows yearly, so increasing food production is necessary, to meet consumer demands. This production must be clean; thus, sustainable agriculture seems to represent a solution. However, social, economic, and environmental b[...]Article
The agricultural sector is one of the key sectors that need to be transformed in order to mitigate climate change. The use of predictive models supported by big data ("big data predictive tools") has already been named in the literature as one k[...]Article
Cet article questionne la construction de la performance globale des exploitations agricoles en Circuits courts et de proximité (CCP) à partir des attentes des agriculteurs engagés dans ces circuits. L'analyse repose sur l'objectivation du disco[...]Article
Society recognises the importance of agriculture to supply goods, which are essential for human survival and well-being. Sustainable agriculture is an important goal since resources need to be preserved for future generations. The recent agricul[...]Article
Most studies on climate changes impacts on agriculture focus on modeling techniques based on large-scale meteorological data, while few have investigated how farmers perception of climate changes impacts can affect crop diversity and crop man[...]Article
Les collectifs d'agriculteurs sont considérés comme des leviers pour les transitions agricoles. Parmi la diversité de collectifs existants, de nouvelles formes de collectifs tournés vers une agriculture alternative et agroécologique émergent et [...]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

Pelletier |The purpose of this manuscript is to review LCA studies of organic field crops to identify best practices in collecting life cycle inventory data. Previous LCA studies of organic field crops from 2010 to 2021 were identified and data were collec[...]Article
CONTEXT Mediterranean peri-urban regions have changed considerably in recent decades, leading to different farming system trajectories. The high level of heterogeneity and complexity of these areas are particularly challenging in terms of unders[...]Article
Agriculture is a strategic sector of the European economy in the current economic, social, climatic, and geo-political conditions generated by global crisis and the war in Ukraine. The main objective of the research is to quantify the vulnerabil[...]Article
Regardless of public perceptions of the agricultural techniques, the fact is that the current agriculture industry is more data-driven, accurate, and intelligent than before. Therefore, novel technologies such as fog computing and the Internet o[...]Article
