Reshaping Labor Intermediation: An Integrated Workforce Management Strategy to Contrast Agricultural Workers' Exploitation in Italy

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Labor exploitation within agri‐food supply chains poses significant ethical and managerial challenges, particularly in Mediterranean contexts where irregular employment practices persist. This study investigates the case of NoCap, a third‐party ethical certification initiative operating in Italy that integrates social responsibility into ...

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Development and Preliminary Evaluation of a Machine Vision‐Guided Smart Sprayer Prototype Toward Precision Vegetable Weeding

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable weed management necessitates herbicide‐reduced, precision weed control. Recent advancements in machine vision and artificial intelligence (AI) for weed recognition and localization have created new opportunities for high‐precision weeding. Although blanket spraying systems are widely used for weed removal, machine vision‐guided, AI‐

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 ...

High Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I Detection via MP‐Locked Aptamer and Multimeric DNAzyme‐Coupled Hyperbranched Hybridization Chain Reaction

Small, EarlyView.
We report a magnetic particle anchored locked aptamer platform integrated with hyperbranched HCR and DNAzyme amplification for enzyme‐free, ultrasensitive detection of cardiac troponin I. The assay achieves a 0.25 ng/L detection limit within 25 minutes and enables cross‐species MI detection, with machine learning classification reaching 90% accuracy ...
