Article
The food chain is intrinsically linked to agriculture and enables a transition towards a Circular Economy (CE) system and a resource efficient future. Accordingly, the development of analytical models appears particularly useful to address these[...]Article
M. Coronese ; M. Occelli ; F. Lamperti ; A. Roventini |This paper presents a dynamic agent-based model of land use and agricultural production under environmental boundaries, finite available resources and endogenous technical change. In particular, we model a spatially explicit smallholder farming [...]Article
The aim of this article is to identify the conditions for the internationalisation of olive oil producing firms in southern of Spain (province of Jaén), as this region accounts for 20 percent of total world production. To that end, we propose a [...]Article
Global climate change has led to a severe loss of water and land resources and has exacerbated food crisis concerns. The water-land-food nexus in agricultural irrigation systems is receiving increasing attention. However, for sustainable food pr[...]Article
Studies on sustainability of agribusinesses often overlook the social dimension of sustainability. The social pillar is clearly the least studied of the three traditional pillars of sustainability, and the classification and estimation of the in[...]Article
A. Esteso ; M.M.E. Alemany ; F. Ottati ; A. Ortiz |The agri-food sector is subject to various sources of uncertainty and risk that can have a negative impact on its supply chain performance if not properly managed. In order to determine what actions the supply chain (SC) should take to protect i[...]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
G. Harik ; I. Alameddine ; R. Zurayk ; M. El-Fadel |A spatio-temporal Agent Based Modeling (ABM) framework is developed to probabilistically predict farmers' decisions concerning their future farming practices when faced with potential water scarcity induced by future climate change. The proposed[...]Article
The terroir effect refers to the interactions between the grapes and their natural surroundings and has been recognized as an important factor in wine quality. The identification and mapping of viticultural terroir have long been relying on expe[...]Article
In recent years, the circular economy and the bioeconomy have increasingly been developed in France, driven by public policies. In this article, innovative circular bioeconomy business models in the French agrifood domain are studied concerning [...]Article
D. Paudel ; A. de Wit ; H. Boogaard ; D. Marcos ; S. Osinga ; I.N. Athanasiadis |Machine learning models for crop yield forecasting often rely on expert-designed features or predictors. The effectiveness and interpretability of these handcrafted features depends on the expertise of the people designing them. Neural networks [...]Article
Growing nutrient fertilization has imperiled freshwater resources throughout the world. There is a conflict of interest between farmers and local environmental organizations who are concerning about nutrient pollution in waterbodies. Adoption of[...]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
K. Mainali ; M. Evans ; D. Saavedra ; E. Mills ; B. Madsen ; S. Minnemeyer |Landscape scale wetland conservation requires accurate, up-to-date wetland maps. The most useful approaches to creating such maps are automated, spatially generalizable, temporally repeatable, and can be applied at large spatial scales. However,[...]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
L'article s'intéresse aux nouvelles formes d'agriculture, concept issu essentiellement de la presse généraliste et qui correspond à des formes innovantes ou réinventées d'agriculture comme la permaculture, l'aquaponie, la culture sur toits, dans[...]Article
E. Elsadek ; K. Zhang ; A. Mousa ; G.T. Ezaz ; T.L. Tola ; H. Shaghaleh ; A.A. Hamad ; Y. Alhaj Hamoud |Crop growth models are cost-effective and user-friendly tools for decision-makers to develop efficient in-field management strategies. These models are particularly important in countries such as Egypt, where the risk of water scarcity is inevit[...]Article
The new CAP implementation model requires each Member State to design a CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) to deliver operational actions under the two CAP pillars. Each CSP must be built from an evidence-based needs assessment that undergoes rigorous pri[...]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 [...]Article
Climate change is a challenging fact influencing diverse sectors in society including the agricultural one, which is heavily dependent on natural resources and climate. In the Mediterranean region, climate change-related increases in air tempera[...]E-Book
