Once a very important crop, the cultivation of hemp has seen significant reduction in Europe for long time, but it is now subject to direct payments and promotion initiatives. Italy used be an producer exporter textiles until Second World War currently information lacking regarding production chain legislation on issue often misunderstood by producers. Moreover, there been development economic activities connected with hemp, such as so-called “hemp shops” or “grow market product called...
: Propolis is used as folk medicine due to its spectrum of alleged biological and pharmaceutical properties it a complex matrix not still totally characterized. Two batches propolis coming from two different environments (plains Po Valley the hilly Ligurian-Piedmont Apennines) Northern Italy were characterized using analytical methods: Spectrophotometric analysis phenols, flavones flavonols, DPPH radical scavenging activity, HPLC, NMR, HSPME GC-MS HPLC-MS Orbitrap. Balsam moisture content...
Climate change and the call for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, efficient use (renewable) energy, more resilient winter tourism regions, forces ski resorts across European Alps to look “smart” approaches transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon economy. Drawing on smart-city concept considering different historical developments Alpine resorts, Smart Altitude Decision-Making Toolkit was developed using combination an energy audit tool, WebGIS, collaborative innovative living labs...
<title>Abstract</title> In recent years, many spruce (<italic>Picea abies</italic>) forests have been severely affected by bark beetle (<italic>Ips typographus</italic>) outbreaks in the Southern Alps, but their ecological impacts remain poorly studied. This research analyzed distribution, ecological, and floristic-vegetational characteristics of recently upper basin Oglio River (Northern Italy) developed a MaxEnt model to predict severe insect attacks coming decades. The results showed that...
In recent years, many spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst., Pinaceae) forests have been severely affected by bark beetle (Ips typographus L., Coleoptera: Curculionidae) outbreaks in the Southern Alps, but their ecological impacts remain poorly studied. We analyzed distribution, ecological, and floristic–vegetational characteristics of recently upper basin Oglio River (Northern Italy) developed a MaxEnt model to map with bioclimate more prone severe insect attacks coming decades. The results...
Italy has faced a renewed interest in the production of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) recent times. However, little is known about status this agri-food chain. This exploratory study investigates (from agronomic to social and marketing aspects) through 162 interviews with farmers. A large part them (38%) are young, often at higher level literacy (bachelor or master) new entrants agricultural sector (data significantly than average for Italian farms). In more half cases, considered...
Nowadays, ski resorts represent an energy-intensive industry in the mountain environment. On one hand, their energy consumptions (and costs) have greatly increased last 40 years, linked to growing: (I) snow production and grooming demands, facing climate change season extension, (II) number of lifts, with a share expansion ones (e.g. gondola), (III) need operational buildings warehouses, workshops). other transition calls for efficiency improvement renewable sources integration, be part...
Abstract Honey is a variegate matrix depending significantly on the floral origin, and it could become an important agri-food product to valorise specific territories. Being so diverse, different analytical techniques are necessary for its description. Herein we characterized honey produced in one of Italian sand dunes systems hosting beekeeping activities. In terms floristic phytochemical characterization, sensory colour analysis, collected 2021 2022 was comparable. polyfloral, with several...
“Carciofo di Malegno” is a little-known landrace of Cynara cardunculus subsp. scolymus cultivated in Camonica Valley (northern Italy). The morphological and phytochemical characteristics this were investigated; furthermore, species distribution model (MaxEnt algorithm) was used to explore its ecological niche the geographical area where it could be grown future. Due spiky shape, distinct from any other artichoke sample considered, appears similar those belonging “Spinosi” group....
Abstract Honey is a variegate matrix depending on the floral origin, and it can become an important agri-food product to valorise specific territories. Being so diverse, different analytical techniques are necessary for its description. Herein we characterized honey produced in one of largest Italian sand dunes systems hosting beekeeping activities. In terms floristic phytochemical characterization, sensory colour analysis, collected 2021 2022 was comparable. polyfloral, with several pollens...
