Economic risk assessment of the quality labels and productive efficiency strategies in Spanish extensive sheep farms
CONTEXT The socio-economic decline of extensive sheep farming caused by its low profitability in southern European Union (EU) regions threatens marginal depopulated rural areas' survival. In the face of new future institutional and climate challenges, there appears to be an urgent need for strategies to improve economic performance. OBJECTIVE This ...

Reuse of treated water in European agriculture: Potential to address water scarcity under climate change
The use of reclaimed or treated water from urban wastewater treatment plants for irrigation has been proposed as an alternative water source to address water scarcity issues in Europe. In this paper using agro-economic modelling, we analyse if treated water available for agriculture has the potential to reduce freshwater abstraction and, consequent...
Stakeholder perspectives to improve risk management in European farming systems
...
The challenges faced by agricultural systems call for an advance in risk management (RM) assessments. This research identifies and discusses potential improvements to RM across 11 European Union (EU) farming systems (FS). The paper proposes a comprehensive, participatory approach that accounts for multi-stakeholder perspectives relying on 11 focus ...
Graphene: A new technology for agriculture.
Abstract: This article presents a review on the use of graphene in various segments, elucidating that this product can be used in various industrial sectors. These include mainly agriculture (as in large crops of high relevance, such as coffee), the food industry and the environment, as a plant growth stimulator and in fertilizers, nanoencapsulatio...
Agricultura urbana e agroecologia no território do extremo sul do município de São Paulo
RESUMO A partir dos anos 2000, diversas ações voltadas para a agricultura urbana e periurbana no município de São Paulo surgiram e ganharam força, impactando diretamente a atividade agrícola da maior metrópole brasileira. No extremo sul, houve a atuação do poder público, da Universidade de São Paulo e de diversas ONG, o que levou ao incentivo da pr...
Model Based on Clusters of Similar Color and NIR to Estimate Oil Content of Single Olives
Lipid extraction using the traditional, destructive Soxhlet method is not able to measure oil content (OC) on a single olive. As the color and near infrared spectrum are key parameters to build an oil estimation model (EM), this study grouped olives with similar color and NIR for building EM of oil content obtained by Soxhlet from a cluster of simi...
