This article aimed to calculate and evaluate comparable environmental intensity indicators in the food production systems of European Union (EU) countries. The study uses the latest release of uniform input-output tables and greenhouse gas emiss[...]
Article
The global food system is a key contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Companies can play an important role in reducing these emissions but doing so effectively requires accurate emissions data. This study assessed the status and[...]
Article
Wetlands constitute important habitats that provide several ecosystem services (ES). Wetlands have been termed the kidneys of the world for their water purification services and contain 20–25% of total soil organic carbon. This paper is a review[...]
Article
Recent research established a link between environmental alterations due to agriculture intensification, social damage and the loss of economic growth. Thus, the integration of environmental and social dimensions is key for economic development.[...]
Article
Ecosystem service cascade (ESC) links each component of ecosystem services with social value, building an interdisciplinary research bridge between natural science and social science, which can help decision-makers better integrate the concept o[...]
Article
Assessing the spatial and temporal changes in ecosystems is essential to account for natural capital contribution to human well-being. However, various methods to quantify these changes challenge the development of reliable values which can be i[...]
