Y. Zhang ; L. Pichon ; S. Roux ; A. Pellegrino ; T. Simonneau ; B. Tisseyre |Inverse modeling (IM) is a valuable tool in agriculture for estimating model parameters that aid in decision-making. It is particularly useful when parameters cannot be directly measured or easily estimated due to logistical constraints in agric[...]Article
H. Darouich ; L. Simionesei ; A.R. Oliveira ; R. Neves ; T.B. Ramos |The IrrigaSys decision support system (DSS) has supported farmers decision-making regarding irrigation scheduling in the Sorraia Valley irrigation district in Southern Portugal over a span of six years (20172022). This study aims to conduct a [...]Article
Agricultural nonpoint source (NPS) pollution leads to water quality degradation. While agriculture is faced with the challenge of feeding a growing population in a changing climate, farmers must also strive to minimize adverse impacts of agricul[...]Article
A. Dzalbs ; M. Bimbere ; J. Pubule ; D. Blumberga |Horticulture is essential in the European agricultural sector and fundamental for many EU member states. Decision Support Systems and Tools can play an essential role in a shift to result-based agriculture and evidence-based decision making, imp[...]Article
T. Mabhaudhi ; T.L. Dirwai ; C. Taguta ; A. Sikka ; J. Lautze |While there is a proliferation of Decision Support Tools (DSTs) to enhance agricultural water productivity (AWP) and related objectives such as food security, an assessment of their adoption and performance is not known to be undertaken. To deve[...]Article
In recent years, scholars and practitioners have discussed several challenges related to the fresh-food supply chains (SCs). One of these challenges is the lack of availability of curated, clean, and processed market information for the SC parti[...]Article
Agricultural production and food are strategically important for nutrition, which is the basic requirement of living. Adequate supply of food depends on the sustainability of agricultural activities. Despite the proportional increase in other se[...]Article
In recent years, the waste management field has received substantial attention from policymakers, organizations, academics, and researchers due to increased focus on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction as well as concerns around rapid [...]Article
A. Domínguez ; J.A. Martínez-López ; H. Amami ; R. Nsiri ; F. Karam ; M. Oueslati |Despite the great number of models developed in research projects, only a small percentage have been successfully transferred to the productive sector. The PRIMA programme supported by Horizon 2020, the European Union Framework Programme for Res[...]Article
A decision support model for cost-effective choice of temperature-controlled transport of fresh food
L.M. Maiyar ; R. Ramanathan ; I. Roy ; U. Ramanathan |The application of a plethora of wireless technologies to support real-time food quality monitoring during transportation has significantly improved the performance of fresh food delivery systems. However, deployment of these technologies increa[...]Article
P.B. Hegedus ; B. Maxwell ; J. Sheppard ; S. Loewen ; H. Duff ; G. Morales-Luna ; A. Peerlinck |Few mechanisms turn field-specific ecological data into management recommendations for crop production with appropriate uncertainty. Precision agriculture is mainly deployed for machine efficiencies and soil-based zonal management, and the tradi[...]Article
Adoption and implementation of business planning and control methods is essential to efficiently and effectively allocate resources for producing food within sustainable agricultural systems in the Mediterranean Basin. To investigate this issue,[...]Article
Cropping system models are deployed as valuable tools for informing agronomic decisions and advancing research. To meet this demand, early career scientists are increasingly tasked with building crop models to fit into these system modelling fra[...]Article
This study assesses inputs use efficiency of durum wheat farmers, subscribed under a common Agricultural Decision Support System (ADSS), especially designed by Barilla and HORTA for this cultivation. Data Envelopment Analysis was the main analys[...]Rapport, Expertise, Working Paper
J. De Baerdemaeker, coord. ; S. Hemming ; G. Polder ; A. Chauhan ; A. Petropoulou ; F. Rovira-Más ; D. Moshou ; G. Wyseure ; T. Norton ; B. Nicolai ; F. Hennig-Possenti ; I. Hostens | Strasbourg [France] : European Parliament | 2023An increasingly digitised society involves recording human activity and monitoring products and processes. In the agri-food sector this gives rise to large quantities of data. At the same time, data is also generated for research and scientific [...]E-Book
D. Cammarano, ed. ; F.K. Van Evert, ed. ; C. Kempenaar, ed. | Cham [Suisse] : Springer | Progress in Precision Agriculture | 2023This book describes how models are used to monitor crops and soils in precision agriculture, and how they are used to support farmers decisions. The introductory section starts with an overview of precision agriculture from the early days of yi[...]Article
Nowadays, smart irrigation is becoming an essential goal in agriculture, where water and energy are increasingly limited resources. Its importance will grow in the coming years in the agricultural sector where the optimal use of resources and en[...]Article
B. Cicciù ; F. Schramm ; V.B. Schramm |This paper aims to perform a literature review on the use of multi-criteria methods for assessing agricultural sustainability, focusing on the distribution of papers according to year, journal, and countries, the most productive authors, the mos[...]Article
A. Di Guardo ; E. Capri ; M. Calliera ; A. Finizio |As echoed in the European Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategy, the EU agricultural policy has clear objectives of improving the sustainability (environmental, economic and social) of farm productions. The environmental goals are supported by pr[...]Article
In the past two decades, a number of researchers have sought to capture the complex interactions of the food system's outcome through frameworks. In several international discourses and expert foresight studies, food system frameworks are freque[...]Article
Predicting crop yields is one of the most challenging tasks in agriculture. It plays an essential role in decision making at global, regional, and field levels. Soil, meteorological, environmental, and crop parameters are used to predict crop yi[...]Article
Effective agricultural water management requires accurate and timely identification of crop water stress at the farm-scale for irrigation advisories or to allocate the optimal amount of water for irrigation. Various drought indices are being uti[...]Article
In arid and semi-arid regions, agriculture is an important element of the national economy, but this sector is a large consumer of water. In a context of high pressure on water resources, appropriate management is required. In semi-arid, intensi[...]Article
Agro-sylvo-pastoral systems are common around the Mediterranean Basin, where they provide a variety of goods and services to the local populations. Their sustainability relies on efficient grazing management, especially in Mediterranean rangelan[...]Article
