Climate change affects women and men differently according to multiple overlapping factors such as intersectionality. Fair distribution of the benefits of climate-resilient agriculture matters given that some people, and communities, are more vulnerable to risk than others. Agricultural systems are at particular risk from climate change. As evidenc...

Современное сельское хозяйство подразумевает использование специализированной техники, в которую заложены параметры, отвечающие за качество и плодородность почвы. Обеспечение уверенного движения тяговых средств в изменчивых почвенно-грунтовых условиях – актуальная задача, стоящая перед проектировщиками сельскохозяйственных машин. Для подбора оптима...

To achieve a more sustainable food system, it is necessary to shift toward more plant-based protein sources. Europe currently imports huge amounts of protein crops each year, mainly soy, which has adverse environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, there is a need to increase local production. Despite the numerous advantages associated with...

Weed control is a basic agricultural practice, typically achieved through herbicides and mechanical weeders. Because of the negative environmental impacts of these tools, alternative solutions are being developed and adopted worldwide. Following recent technical developments, an autonomous laser-based weeding system (ALWS) now offers a possible sol...

Recently, new agricultural technologies have emerged to increase sustainable food production, often referred to as "Agriculture 4.0." They consist of more advanced precision agriculture technologies, such as sensors, robotics, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which can lead to environmental and economic benefits for farmers and society. Despite...

During the 2021 conflict in Tigray (north Ethiopia), crop cultivation has been hampered by warfare. Oxen have been looted and killed, farm inputs and tools destroyed by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers. Farmers felt vulnerable out in the open with their oxen. To produce, farmers evaluated risks involved with ploughing and organised lookouts. Overall...
