This study assesses inputs use efficiency of durum wheat farmers, subscribed under a common Agricultural Decision Support System (ADSS), especially designed by Barilla and HORTA for this cultivation. Data Envelopment Analysis was the main analysis used to highlight differences in the implementation stage of ADSS’s suggestions, between 4 agricultura...
This manual provides key information and instructions on the application and use of the SHERPA Characterisation Tool for rural areas. The tool was developed to examine the characteristics of rural areas in the EU. It consists of an excel file providing information on a set of indicators related to different key topics (e.g. climate, infrastructure,...
Nowadays, the sustainability of Greek dairy cattle farms is questionable due to low competitiveness and high GHG emissions. In this context, the BIOCIRCULAR project, funded by the EYDE ETAK, developed a series of alternative practices focusing on precision agriculture principles. However, the adoption of any practice from farmers is not a given, an...
Recent years have witnessed a substantial decline of both managed and wild bees in Europe due to the increase of pesticides use. Hence, many European agricultural systems depend on the buy/rental of managed bees in order to maintain sufficient levels of pollination services. However, this substitution of wild bees by managed ones apart from costly ...
Face à l'urbanisation et au changement climatique qui ont des effets néfastes sur le bilan énergétique (îlot de chaleur urbain) et le cycle de l'eau (crues plus intenses et plus fréquentes, périodes d'étiage plus longues et plus marquées, recharge des nappes limitées), des solutions d'adaptation sont nécessaires: elles jouent sur les différents pro...

Railway stations that concentrate starts and ends of train journeys structure most of the passenger lines operations. Indeed, rolling stock preparation operations (cleaning, trains coupling...) which are called shunting are scheduled there. These operations are essential to ensure service quality. These operations require train movement and parking...
Dans cette communication, nous présentons le contexte général ainsi que la méthodologie mise en oeuvre pour réaliser la démonstration de la sécurité opérationnelle de la téléconduite des trains fret. En complément, nous présentons une synthèse des résultats, soutenue par une discussion de la méthodologie.
