Article
S.T. Dugan ; A. Muhammetoglu ; A. Uslu |Pesticide pollution can degrade the quality of land, water, and air, and imposes risks on people, flora and fauna. Pesticides are frequently chosen based on their agricultural effectiveness and cost, rather than their potential environmental imp[...]
Article
S. Vermeulen ; Jan Cools ; J. Staes ; S. Van Passel |Due to climate change, the frequency and intensity of droughts are expected to increase. To improve resilience to droughts, proactive drought management is essential. Economic assessments are typically included to decide on the drought risk-redu[...]
Article
Production systems that do not use environmentally sustainable practices are being pressured to change their production strategies. Conventional agricultural practices are associated with negative impacts, such as extensive land use, soil contam[...]
Article
The economic effects of global warming have gained considerable attention in the recent economic literature. While the relationship between rainfall and agriculture is well known, precipitations alone do not capture the soil water availability, [...]
Article
J. Garnier ; G. Billen ; E. Aguilera ; L. Lassaletta ; R. Einarsson ; J. Serra ; M.doR. Cameira ; C. Marques-dos-Santos ; A. Sanz-Cobena |Ammonia (NH3) volatilization, nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, and nitrate (NO3−) leaching from agriculture cause severe environmental hazards. Research studies and mitigation strategies have mostly focused on one of these nitrogen (N) losse[...]
Article
The liberalization of world trade has led to a significant increase in agricultural trade, which has brought to light various environmental externalities, including climate change, deforestation, and water pollution. While economic studies tend [...]
Article
J. McGinley ; M.G. Healy ; P.C. Ryan ; H. O'Driscoll ; P.-E. Mellander ; L. Morrison ; A. Siggins |Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to optimise food production. However, the movement of pesticides into water bodies negatively impacts aquatic environments. The European Union (EU) aims to make food systems fair, healthy and environment[...]
Article
L'oasis Ghout est un système agricole oasien traditionnel typique à la région du Souf. Les oasis Ghout on subi une forte dégradation durant les 5 dernières décennies. L’objectif de cette recherche est l’évaluation et cartographie spatio-temporel[...]
Article
A. Mendoza Beltran ; R. Padró ; M.J. La Rota-Aguilera ; J. Marull ; M.J. Eckelman ; J. Cirera ; A. Giocoli ; G. Villalba |Peri urban agriculture (peri-UA) can supply food locally and potentially more sustainably than far-away conventional agricultural systems. It can also introduce significant environmental impacts depending on the local biophysical conditions and [...]
Article
M. Zambelli ; V. Giovenzana ; A. Casson ; A. Tugnolo ; A. Pampuri ; S. Vignati ; R. Beghi ; R. Guidetti |When talking about environmental and sustainability topics, the wine sector plays a fundamental role ensuring that wine remains not only economically but also environmentally sustainable, hence the importance of conducting analyses to measure th[...]
Article
Agricultural life cycle assessment (LCA) at the sub-national regional level may be a valuable input for the decision-makers. Obtaining representative and sufficient data to develop life cycle inventories (LCIs) at that level is a relevant challe[...]
Article
Z. El Hathat ; V.R. Sreedharan ; V.G. Venkatesh ; T. Zouadi ; M. Arunmozhi ; Y. Shi |As the world is driving towards climate change, customers are concerned over the issues around greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption in production cycles. Business leaders and governments are eager to reduce emissions through spe[...]
Article
Article
Agriculture is one of the main sources of diffuse pollution, such as fertilisers, plant protection products, solid particles or pathogens. The short- and long-term impact of agriculture on surface water quality is often driven by on-farm decisio[...]
Article
Drought is considered one of the key barriers influencing wheat production, and various adaptation schemes are practiced globally to mitigate drought impacts. However, it is difficult to precisely assess the performances of drought mitigation me[...]
Article
S. Vanino ; C. Di Bene ; C. Piccini ; G. Fila ; B. Pennelli ; R. Zornoza ; V. Sanchez-Navarro ; J. Álvaro-Fuentes ; R. Hüppi ; J. Six ; R. Farina |The intensification of agricultural systems has caused a noticeable impact on agro-ecosystem services. Thus, the adoption of more sustainable agricultural practices such as crop diversification and reduction of external inputs represent an alter[...]
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
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
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
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
We explored the relative importance of climate oscillations and human-driven disturbances on the change in vegetation biomass in agroecosystems, and whether it is associated with land use. Our main contribution is a quantitative treatment of the[...]
Article
Droughts have severe impacts on the economy, society, and environment. They also have impacts on groundwater and vice versa. While most analyses consider drought and groundwater as disconnected, we argue that drought and groundwater management s[...]
Article
In recent decades, most Spanish Mediterranean agricultural regions have been transformed to meet global food demands and have joined global agricultural production networks: a convergence process that has granted them steady economic growth. In [...]
Article
Meteorological drought is defined as the event that arises when precipitation is lower than average and initially affects rainfed crops; this is transformed into hydrological drought when persistent drought affects water storage. We have studied[...]
