Weed control is a basic agricultural practice, typically achieved through herbicides and mechanical weeders. Because of the negative environmental impacts these tools, alternative solutions are being developed adopted worldwide. Following recent technical developments, an autonomous laser-based weeding system (ALWS) now offers possible solution for sustainable weed control. However, beyond proof performance, little known about adoption potential such system. This study assesses ALWS, using...
Purpose As the global demand for alternative protein sources grows, understanding perceptions of key stakeholders in agri-food chain is critical to fostering sustainable and resilient food systems. This study investigates stakeholders' views on risk, resilience sustainability within plant-based chains. It aims cluster based these identify factors that influence membership. Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted with participants including consumers, farmers, industry...
Abstract Biomass waste and waste-derived feedstocks are important resources for the development of sustainable value-added products. However, provision preparation biomass as well all possible downstream processing steps need to be thoroughly analyzed gain environmentally sound economically viable Additionally, its impacts substantially determined by decisions made at early stages. Therefore, sustainability assessment methods can support improve production process, reduce waste, costs help...
To achieve a more sustainable food system, it is necessary to shift toward plant-based protein sources. Europe currently imports huge amounts of crops each year, mainly soy, which has adverse environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, there need increase local production. Despite the numerous advantages associated with cultivation crops, farmer adoption rate in remains very low. This study aims investigate farmers’ willingness grow determinants adopt using standardized survey. In...
