M. Salman ; I. Ferto ; E. Pék ; I.A. El-Desouky ; S. Zaki ; R. Darwesh ; F. Lebdi ; Q. Alali |Irrigation development is essential for reducing vulnerability to water resource scarcity, food insecurity, and climate change impacts in Egypt. The centralized irrigation development must, however, overcome the challenges of the diversity of sm[...]Article
R. Ouassissou ; G. Lacombe ; M. Kuper ; A. Hammani ; M. El Amrani |Despite the attention given to the waterenergyfood nexus, there is little field evidence of how this plays out for irrigators. This article analyses the diversity of irrigation system configurations and their related water and energy use in se[...]Article
Protected areas offer unique opportunities for recreation, but the non-market nature of these benefits presents a significant challenge when trying to represent value in the decision-making processes. The most common techniques to value recreati[...]Article
La lutte contre le changement climatique est lun des défis les plus importants auxquels lhumanité est confrontée. Après la combustion des énergies fossiles, la déforestation et lactivité agricole sont les autres sources majeures de changement[...]Article
Lagriculture est lun des principaux secteurs émetteurs de gaz à effets de serre (GES), en étant la principale source de méthane (CH4) et de protoxyde dazote (N2O), deux importants GES autres que le CO2. Réciproquement, le climat est un facteu[...]Article

Djekic |This paper provides an overview of how food production influences climate change and also illustrates the impact of climate change on food production. To perform such an overview, the (inter)link between different parts of the food supply chain [...]Article
A. Casson ; B. Ortuani ; V. Giovenzana ; L. Brancadoro ; S. Corsi ; O. Gharsallah ; R. Guidetti ; A. Facchi |Viticulture is gradually shifting to more sustainable production systems and a fair number of studies aim at assessing the environmental impacts of different technologies and techniques adopted in the wine production through the Life Cycle Asses[...]Article
V. Assumma ; M. Bottero ; E. De Angelis ; J.M. Lourenço ; R. Monaco ; A.J. Soares |Today resilience paradigm is shared by both academic and political debates, and it is gradually being implemented into plans, programmes, and project's initiatives. In this context, wine regions, particularly those designated as UNESCO sites, sh[...]Article
Agroecosystems benefit from many ecosystem services and are frequently managed to increase productivity. In recent years, agricultural industrialization has caused the loss of some important ecosystem services in agroecosystems, hindering some s[...]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
L. Villani ; G. Castelli ; L. Piemontese ; D. Penna ; E. Bresci |Mediterranean watersheds are expected to face increased and more severe drought events due to climate change. Urgent action is needed to shift from a reactive approach to a proactive one, for which drought risk assessment is fundamental. Neverth[...]Article
Lenvironnement dans le monde entier subit une dégradation très alarmante. Cela se manifeste au niveau de pénurie des ressources en eaux souterraines, due notamment au changement climatique qui se manifeste dans le réchauffement climatique. Les [...]Article
Ecosystem services (ES) clarifies nature's contribution to human in an intuitive way, and aims at fully recognizing the importance of nature in the decision-making of social-ecological system management. However, in order to improve the ability [...]Article
L. Dhaouadi ; H. Besser ; N. Karbout ; R. Khaldi ; Z. Haj-Amor ; S. Ben Maachia ; F. Ouassar |In dry-hot areas, such as southern Tunisia, the availability of good water is very limited by the low scanty rainfall, the long dry periods and the high evaporation rate. Thus, to deal with these issues, information concerning the quality of irr[...]Article
Dans le contexte du dérèglement climatique, il faudra veiller, encore davantage, à la gestion de leau. Des leviers sont à explorer en agissant sur loffre, la demande mais aussi en utilisant des pratiques alternatives.Article
Since the UN Water Conference in 1977, international debates have centered on global water scarcity and achieving sustainable development. In 1995, Morocco introduced a water policy to strengthen the countrys socio-economic development through [...]Article
R. Gamal ; M. El-Shirbeny ; A. Abou-Hadid ; A. Swelam ; A.-G. El-Gindy ; Y. Arafa ; V. Nangia |Evapotranspiration (ET) is a significant consumer of irrigation water and precipitation on cropland. Global and regional interest in the sustainable management of limited freshwater supplies to meet the rapidly increasing population and food dem[...]Article
A. Elkouk ; Y. Pokhrel ; Y. Satoh ; L. Bouchaou |Climate change is expected to exacerbate drought conditions over many global regions. However, the future risk posed by droughts depends not only on the climate-induced changes but also on the changes in societal exposure and vulnerability to dr[...]Article
We used Cyprus as a model to link the WaterEnergyFoodClimate (WEFC) nexus indicators (e.g., carbon and water footprints) to the ecosystem services (ES) provided by 39 mixed orchards (stone fruits and nuts) on organic (Org) and conventional (C[...]Article
Salinization is a major soil degradation threat in irrigated lands worldwide. In Portugal, it affects several pockets of irrigated agricultural areas, but the spatial distribution and intensity of soil salinity are not well known. Unlike convent[...]Article
n the last two decades of the 20th century, irrigation in Andalusia experienced a historic expansion as a result of the transfer of political powers from the State to regional authorities and, thanks to its application in Andalusia, to pass, amo[...]Article
