Decision support systems and models for aiding irrigation and nutrient management of vegetable crops
Vegetable growers in Europe are continually under increasing pressure to optimize irrigation and nutrient management. This results from the widespread effects of climate change and of competition from other sectors for water, and increasing soci[...]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
As a result of the growing awareness of the need to prevent food waste, several initiatives have been launched in the last few years to reduce food waste generated across the food supply chain. However, the evaluation of food waste prevention in[...]Article
