Leveraging Machine Learning to Predict Food Waste Quantity: Focusing on Military Dining Facilities as Large‐Scale Food Service Operations

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste reveals inefficiencies in resource use and contributes significantly to environmental pollution. In the United States, food waste accounts for the majority of total waste, with more than 50 million tons generated annually. In military units that operate large‐scale institutional food‐service facilities and generate significant food ...

Selecting Promising Soil Quality Indicators for Monitoring Soil Management Effects Based on 10 European Long‐Term Field Experiments

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...
