Agroforestry systems have multifunctional roles in enhancing agronomic productivity, co-production of diversity food and non-food products provision ecosystem services. The knowledge the performance agroforestry compared with monoculture is scarce scattered. Hence, objective study was to analyze productivity economic viability diverse Europe. A network five integrating arable crops, livestock biomass trees investigated assess range agricultural each system. Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) used...
The atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased to unprecedented levels during last decades, raising concerns about their effect on climate change. Agriculture and land use change play an important role in CO2 emission fixation, especially by affecting the soil carbon (C) storage. In this context, agroforestry systems (AFSs) could contributing mitigation. Given importance olive cultivation Mediterranean region, it is investigate C stock groves, assess which agronomic...
Silvopasture is the deliberate integration of a woody component with grazed pastures as understorey. It one most extended agroforestry practices all over world. use key to increase sustainability livestock farming systems silvopasture reduces concentrates since provides feed for animals. However, it not an extensively used practice in Europe. This paper aims at evaluating, from Eurostat, LUCAS database and 118 rural development programs, current situation permanent grasslands Mediterranean...
Given the environmental footprints of conventional agriculture, it is imperative to test and validate alternative production systems, with lower impacts mitigate adapt our systems. In this study, we identified six four in Italy two Denmark, assess footprint for comparison among systems additionally SimaPro 8.4 software was used carry out life cycle impact assessment. Among other indicators, three significantly important namely global warming potential, acidification, eutrophication, were as...
ABSTRACT Improved tree fallows to improve soil fertility have considerable potential in many areas of sub-Saharan Africa. This paper assesses the experiences 99 farmers western Kenya, following initial testing improved during 1997. Over three seasons, 53% could be considered as medium adopters (planting one season), 26% were strong at least two seasons) and 21% non-adopters (not planting all). The proportion women was roughly same men. interest poor female farmers, relative other studies...
Abstract Olive tree is a vector of cultural heritage in Mediterranean. This study explored the biocultural geography extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from cultivar Ogliarola campana Campania region, Italy. Here, rich elements related to and represent suitable case for analysis. We joined analytical techniques, based on stable isotopes trace EVOOs, with humanistic analyses, toponymy historical data. In order provide science-based assessment terroir concept, we set up new method data analysis...
Agroforestry systems are traditional land use practices widely evident in different agro-ecological environments. In Mediterranean areas they comprised the most important cultural models until introduction of modern industrialised agriculture. Further, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) EU has dramatically promoted agricultural monocultures, with detrimental effects on agroforestry systems. Consequently, both tree presence across lands and associated biological diversity have been...
