Sustainable irrigation in fruit trees

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2010
Water management in fruit growing, particularly in areas with high water deficit, low rainfall and limited availability of water for irrigation should aid to save water by: i) the choice of high efficiency irrigation methods and their correct management;

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Unveiling the Impact of Digitized Supply Chains on Reducing Food Loss and Waste: A Multiple Case Study of Italian Agri‐Food Firms

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food loss and waste (FLW) within agri‐food supply chains significantly impact the consumer economy, depleting natural resources and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, thereby posing a critical challenge to sustainable development. Digital transformation is increasingly recognised as a key lever for reducing FLW in agri‐food supply ...

Improving water productivity in Walnut (Juglans regia L.): effects of spring regulated deficit irrigation and sustained irrigation rates under semi-arid conditions

Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences
The increasing water scarcity and rising irrigation costs in semi-arid regions like Mendoza, Argentina, threaten the sustainability of high-density walnut orchards, requiring irrigation strategies that balance yield with water productivity.

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Assessing the impacts of regulated deficit irrigation on soybean using AquaCrop

Italian Journal of Agronomy
Deficit irrigation (DI) is a viable adaptation strategy to reduce agricultural water demand. Field experiments and subsequent data modelling help assess the impacts of DI on crop yield and water productivity (WPET). This study aims to simulate the potential impacts of climate change on soybean performance under full (FI) and regulated deficit (RDI ...

Fair Markets and Resilient Supply Chains: Designing Sustainable Intermediation for Rural Communities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture in Ecuador's communes faces significant economic, social, and environmental challenges, intensified by supply chains dominated by traditional intermediaries. The lack of context‐specific sustainability studies further increases the vulnerability of smallholders.

Climate‐Resilient Agri‐Food Systems (CRAFS): A Review of Approaches and Outcomes of Agri‐Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly destabilizing agri‐food systems globally, with complex disruptions extending across production, distribution, and consumption. In response, climate‐resilient agri‐food system (CRAFS) approaches have gained prominence as a means to sustain food security under escalating climatic stressors.

Plant and Soil Water Dynamics of Alternate Furrow and Regulated Deficit Irrigation for Two Legume Crops

, 2016
Water scarcity and severe environmental degradation are causing water managers in Central Asia to reevaluate irrigation water use. In this area, the goal of any intervention must include water conservation without reducing crop productivity.
