H. Sales ; F. Figueiredo ; M.C. Vaz Patto ; J. Nunes |The olive value chain represents one of the most important bioeconomic sectors for Portugal, having this country the opportunity to emerge as the third-largest worldwide olive oil producer in the upcoming decade due to the modernization of its o[...]Article
G. Coppola ; M. Costantini ; A. Fusi ; L. Ruiz-Garcia ; J. Bacenetti |Agricultural activity is responsible of considerable negative effects on the environment. In this context, in the last years, organic cultivation is increasing being perceived as more sustainable for the environmental. Nevertheless, this higher [...]Article
The purpose of this research is the ex post evaluation of the efficiency of agricultural development projects for the period 2000-2009. The analysis had been based upon a random sample of 244 agricultural perimeters spread over 15 wilayas among [...]Article
Article
Biodynamic farming is increasingly popular among farmers and consumers, but it is still dismissed as pseudoscience by part of the scientific community. In this article, we first present an overview of biodynamic farming, its current development,[...]Article
Organic agriculture (OA) is an ecological, economic and social system that has been in the spotlight to replace and reduce the adverse consequences of conventional agriculture (CA) and achieve sustainable agriculture. The future of OA depends he[...]Article
New players are entering the new and important digital data market for agriculture, increasing power asymmetries and reinforcing their competitive advantages. Although the farmer remains at the heart of agricultural data collection, to date, onl[...]Article
H. Veisi ; M. Carolan ; A. Alipour ; A.V. Besheh |In this study, a cross-cultural analysis was undertaken to compare the knowledge of organic producers and agricultural experts in Iran concerning the concepts of good farming, good farmer, and organic farming in the field of sustainable agricult[...]Article
CONTEXT Conventional cropping systems in south-western France contribute greatly to the degradation of environmental resources. Crop diversification is considered to be an effective mechanism to increase the sustainability of cropping systems a[...]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
C. Mosnier ; M. Benoît ; J.J. Minviel ; P. Veysset |Mixed farming systems are gaining interest both as a risk management strategy and to apply agroecological principles. This study set out to assess the sustainability of mixed systems compared to their specialized counterparts. The Orfee bioecono[...]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
Article
In response to the climate emergency and other dimensions of the current global environmental crisis, the world is facing an agroecology transition aimed at scaling up the best sustainable ways of farming into circular agri-food territories. No [...]Article
A. Berthe ; P. Grouiez ; M. Fautras |Literature on biogas production mainly studies the outputs of production or the technical dimension of its organization. We argue that there is a need to study this process in a more institutional political economy perspective to understand the [...]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
The implementation of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concepts has been pointed out as an indirect strategy that could potentially help mitigating the environmental impacts of livestock production systems. To date, few studies have focused on [...]Article
E. Garmendia ; A. Aldezabal ; E. Galán ; A. Andonegi ; A. Del Prado ; G. Gamboa ; O. Garcia ; G. Pardo ; N. Aldai ; L.J.R. Barron |Pastoral systems face increasing pressure from competing global markets, food sector industrialization, and new policies such as Europes post-2020 Common Agriculture Policy. This pressure threatens the use of extensive sheep-grazing systems in [...]Article
Due to the increase of global demand of agriculture and agro-industrial products, agriculture has undergone some changes in the stages of procurement, planning, planting, maintenance, harvesting, transport and distribution. The use of formal mat[...]Article
Agricultural intensification decreased land cover complexity by converting small complex arable field geometries into large and simple structures which then were managed uniformly. These changes have led to a variety of negative environmental ef[...]Article
G.K. Abebe ; A. Traboulsi ; M. Aoun |The future of food value chains has increasingly been reliant on the wider adoption of sustainable farming practices that include organic agriculture. Organic farming in developed countries is standardized and occupies a niche in agro-food syste[...]Article
Agricultural intensification tends to maximize provisioning services at the expense of regulating, cultural and supporting ecosystem services (ES). Enhancing agroecosystem sustainability requires both individual and collective solutions, but the[...]Article
CONTEXT The social network analysis of farmers who have adopted agroecological practices give the possibility to identify which actors are involved in the agroecological transition and are influencing the resilience at territorial level. OBJECTI[...]Article
C. Gascuel ; F. Lescourret ; B. Dedieu ; C. Détang-Dessendre ; P. Faverdin ; L. Hazard ; I. Litrico ; S. Petit ; L. Roques ; X. Reboud ; M. Tixier-Boichard ; H. De Vries ; T. Caquet |A profound transformation of agricultural production methods has become unavoidable due to the increase in the worlds population, and environmental and climatic challenges. Agroecology is now recognized as a challenging model for agricultural s[...]Article
This paper aims to compare the cradle-to-farm gate sustainability of two dairy buffalo systems, according to life cycle assessment guidelines (LCA). Primary data were obtained by five intensive farms with feeding plans based on non-corn silage ([...]Article
