Glocal Regenerative Viticulture: Exploring Sustainable Winemaking Strategies in Europe

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global wine industry is transforming due to climate change challenges. Glocalization is increasingly relevant in winemaking, where geographical and cultural diversity requires context‐specific solutions in the existing sustainability spectrum in viticulture.

Bridging Efficiency Gaps in Rice Production: A Primal System Analysis of Technical and Allocative Constraints in Bangladesh

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Declining natural resources, rising production costs, and diminishing returns from input‐intensive practices threaten the sustainability of smallholder rice systems in Bangladesh. Using a primal system approach and survey data from 1869 rice‐producing households, this study evaluates technical and allocative inefficiency across major agro ...

Abattoir antemortem inspection protocol: Observation of unloading improves detection of transport welfare compromises in livestock

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

The relative abundance of crop and natural food influences crop consumption by brown bears

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many mammalian species now inhabit anthropogenic landscapes, and human–wildlife conflicts, particularly pertaining to crop damage, have become a significant issue. To develop more effective measures to limit crop damage caused by wildlife, it is crucial to identify how natural and anthropogenic food availability affect crop use by wildlife in the ...

Thermal‐UAV assisted detection and relocation of roe deer fawns in managed grasslands

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Advancements in modern fodder production have unintentionally increased wildlife mortality during grass mowing operations. Roe deer Capreolus capreolus fawns are particularly vulnerable because they remain motionless as a predator‐avoidance strategy. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with thermal sensors offer a promising method for detecting ...

A Collaborative Optimisation Strategy of Electric Agricultural Machinery Clusters and Rural Distribution Network in Renewable Energy Storage Application Scenario

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a two‐stage electric agricultural machinery charging optimisation strategy that first adjusts Charging scheduling to minimise load variance, then uses V2G technology with idle machinery as energy storage to reduce fluctuation and improve PV integration, solved via NSGA‐II and TOPSIS.
