Agricultural intensification negatively affects the environment through soil degradation, loss of agrobiodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, and nutrient leaching. Thus, introduction crop diversification strategies alternative management practices is crucial to re-design agricultural systems. To better understand contribution more sustainable systems, an accurate evaluation synergies trade-offs needed. In this context, 5-year Horizon 2020 DIVERFARMING project aims define sustainable,...

Abstract Water availability patterns in semiarid regions are typically extremely variable. Even basins with a highly developed infrastructure, users subject to unreliable water supplies, incurring substantial economic losses during periods of scarcity. More flexible instruments, such as voluntary exchanges among users, can help reduce risk exposure. This article looks at the effects spot markets on caused by variations. Our theoretical and empirical analyses based random profits users....
Economic narratives are largely put forward as an argument for the promotion of Nature Based Solutions (NBS). However, integrated economic evidence, taking into account direct and opportunity costs, avoided damages multiplicity co-benefits generated by NBS still needed to support this convince decision makers invest in these solutions. To address gap, we develop a methodological framework assessment water related risks present its application three European case studies. We find that cost...
This paper presents some results from a survey carried out in 2004 among 223 olive tree farmers mountainous areas the Spanish Southern provinces of Granada and Jaén regarding adoption soil conservation management practices. Olive groves are subject to high risk erosion incur higher cost conservation. greater difficulty comply with requirements new single payment scheme (cross-compliance) benefit agri-environmental schemes. The main objectives this study analyze current level practices area...
Abstract The objective of this paper is to analyse the adequacy and effectiveness farming practices agricultural soil conservation policies in Murcia Region sector Guadalentín basin southeast Spain. This area constitutes one most severe cases land degradation Europe. representative Spanish Mediterranean areas where predominant semi‐arid dry‐land mixed with highly profitable intensive irrigated horticulture. Based on interviews farmers, experts, governmental officers other stakeholders, we...
The Gamma-Ray and AntiMatter Survey (GRAMS) is a next-generation balloon/satellite mission utilizing Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector to measure both MeV gamma rays antinuclei produced by dark matter annihilation or decay. GRAMS can identify antihelium-3 events based on the measurements of X-rays charged pions from decay exotic atoms, Flight (TOF), energy deposition, stopping range. This paper shows sensitivity estimation using GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation. For...
This study assesses local stakeholders’ perceptions regarding how a Mediterranean cereal-based cropping system could transition to more sustainable production, focusing on the identification of most suitable alternatives for their diversification. Fifty-four stakeholders from Aragon region in Spain, including farmers, technical advisors, public agricultural officers, researchers, and experts environmental NGOs, were consulted. Their responses analysed using multi-criteria decision-making...
This study calculates the use value of water in irrigated agriculture Segura basin and areas served from Tajo-Segura transfer. Water is valued using a non-linear mathematical programming model that allocates land among crop activities each 64 Demand Units basin. The marginal average for are 0,52 €/m3 0,81 respectively, with marked differences between areas. Irrigation generates an annual farm net margin 879 million €/year, whereas resources transferred Tajo has been conservatively estimated...
Water supply instability is one of the main risks faced by irrigation districts and farmers. procurement decision optimisation essential in order to increase reliability reduce costs. markets, such as spot purchases or water option contracts, can make this process more flexible. We analyse potential interest an contract for district that has access several sources. apply a stochastic recursive mathematical programming model simulate decisions district's board operating context uncertainty...
This paper reports a survey of how 64 tropical fruit growers from the Granada coast Spain use and value their water resources. area produces crops high added value. The agricultural demand for is ever increasing much greater than actual supply. problem worsened by infiltration seawater into aquifers that provide most irrigation area. Moreover, population increases five-fold in summer due to tourism, further aggravating scarcity. Technical innovations, especially reuse urban wastewater,...
