Considering the existing world population, set of environmental impacts, and predicted changes in dietary trends, one can expect that, coming decades, food security will remain high on list sustainability concerns. In relation to this challenge, Europe's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) must address a diverse goals: (i) guarantee stable affordable supply; (ii) preserve socioeconomic stability farmers by guaranteeing their economic viability; (iii) protect environment reducing pressures...
In the European Union, national-scope efforts to protect local ecosystem services are greatly helped by externalization of agricultural production. Domestic environmental pressures such as pesticide residue, fertilizer leakage and waterbody overdraft would all significantly increase if production were be re-localized. Those increases add additional stress on habitats, soils freshwater reserves. This work addresses concerns anticipating pressure associated with a near-complete...
This paper seeks to clarify the confusion created by simultaneous use of non-equivalent policy discourses about biofuels within EU and addresses inconsistency between long-term goals short-term targets. To this purpose, a novel approach, quantitative storytelling, is employed examine plausibility current narratives. It confronts data on production at member-state (the Netherlands) level against official storytelling. Our analysis shows that in Netherlands actual are motivated economic...
The steady increase in production volume of salmon aquaculture has sharpened concerns about its sustainability. In particular the feed is a reason for concern given reliance on scarce natural resources, such as wild fish captures. Multi-scale integrated analysis put forward tool to anticipate environmental and socio-economic impacts large-scale implementation alternative feeds, considering both plant insect sources potential replacements meal oil. proposed accounting framework, based...
Biofuels represent a complex issue in the sustainability discourse as they require simultaneous consideration of different dimensions and scales analysis. This situation explains co-existence contrasting 'scientific evidence' about their performance. paper presents novel conceptual framework that integrates four key aspects performance biofuels: (1) social factors determining desirability biofuel use on demand side – why do we want to produce biofuels?; (2) internal technical economic...
The paper presents insights from carrying out a pan-EU sustainability assessment using Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) data (the old wine) with societal metabolism accounting (SMA) processes new bottles). SMA was deployed as part of transdisciplinary study EU policy stakeholders how may need to change deliver commitments, particularly the UN Sustainable Development Goals. outlines concepts underlying and its specific implementation FADN data. A key focus on interactions between crop...
Abstract The divergence between the disappearance of primary forests and appearance secondary indicates a set circumstances that simultaneously converge in what we called society–agriculture–forest complex. Such vary places over time are associated with internal factors—factors originating within reference system—and external outside borders system—restrict use standard strategies for any reality. We present quantitative model helps to understand relationships complex as whole. This...
