The Multi-Level Perspective in Research on Sustainability Transitions in Agriculture and Food Systems: A Systematic Review
Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 74
The multi-level perspective (MLP) is a prominent transition framework. The MLP
posits that transitions come about through interaction processes within and
among three analytical levels: niches, socio-technical regimes and a
socio-technical landscape. This systematic review provides an overview on the
use of the MLP in research on agro-food sustainability transitions. In
particular, it analyses the...
Global Change and Helminth Infections in Grazing Ruminants in Europe: Impacts, Trends and Sustainable Solutions
Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 484-502
Infections with parasitic helminths (nematodes and trematodes) represent a
significant economic and welfare burden to the global ruminant livestock
industry. The increasing prevalence of anthelmintic resistance means that
current control programmes are costly and unsustainable in the long term. Recent
changes in the epidemiology, seasonality and geographic distribution of helminth
infections have ...
Assessment of the Impact of Small-Scale Irrigation on Household Livelihood Improvement at Gubalafto District, North Wollo, Ethiopia
Tập 6 Số 3 - Trang 27
Ethiopia has been highly affected by drought and climate-related hazards, and
millions of people have been left without sustenance every year. To increase
productivity and diversify the livelihood scenarios as an option, small-scale
irrigation (SSI) schemes have been introduced.This study assessed the impact of
SSI in achieving household livelihood improvement and the major challenges of
SSI pract...
Differentiation of Blossom Honey and Honeydew Honey from Northwest Spain
Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 25-37
The knowledge of important parameters for honey characterization is an
increasing requirement of consumers and the honey industry. In this respect,
differentiation between blossom honeys and some honeydew honeys is still an
unresolved task. This study includes the results of physicochemical and
melissopalynological analysis of 86 honey samples from north-western Spain. The
relationship between the...
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Sustainable Food Systems: Lessons Learned for Public Policies? The Case of Poland
Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 61
COVID-19 has affected the functioning of food systems all over the world. This
paper seeks to identify and analyse the economic, legal and institutional, as
well as social effects of the pandemic’s outbreak on food systems, and the
implications for the EU Farm to Fork Strategy whose main purpose is to put food
systems on a sustainable path. Qualitative economic and social impact analysis
was used ...
Sources of Total-Factor Productivity and Efficiency Changes in China’s Agriculture
Tập 10 Số 7 - Trang 279
The core of agricultural development depends on agricultural production
efficiency improvement, and total-factor productivity growth is its significant
embodiment. Hence, it is essential to address the question of “how to improve
China’s agricultural productivity and efficiency in order to achieve growth and
sustainability of agriculture in the future”. This paper estimates indices of
China’s agri...
Winter Wheat Straw Decomposition under Different Nitrogen Fertilizers
Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 83
The climate changes and increased drought frequency still more frequent in
recent periods bring challenges to management with wheat straw remaining in the
field after harvest and to its decomposition. The field experiment carried out
in 2017–2019 in the Czech Republic aimed to evaluate winter wheat straw
decomposition under different organic and mineral nitrogen fertilizing (urea,
pig slurry and d...
Nutritional Value of Jerusalem Artichoke Tubers (Helianthus tuberosus L.) Grown in Organic System under Lithuanian and Polish Conditions
Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 440
The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional value of H. tuberosus tubers
grown in the organic farming system in Poland and Lithuania. The work was based
on field experiments carried out in 2015–2017 in Parczew (Poland) and Akademija
(Lithuania). The experiments were carried out using the randomized block method
in four replications. Two cultivars of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) ‘Albik’ and
‘Rub...
Research on a Low-Cost, Open-Source, and Remote Monitoring Data Collector to Predict Livestock’s Habits Based on Location and Auditory Information: A Case Study from Vietnam
Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 180 - 2020
The supervision and feeding of grazing livestock are always difficult missions.
Since animals act based on habits, the real-time monitoring data logger has
become an indispensable instrument to assist farmers in recognizing the status
of livestock. Position-tracked and acoustic monitoring have become commonplace
as two of the best methods to characterize feeding performance in ruminants.

Influencing the Success of Precision Farming Technology Adoption—A Model-Based Investigation of Economic Success Factors in Small-Scale Agriculture
Tập 12 Số 11 - Trang 1773
Even more than 30 years after the introduction of precision farming technologies
and studies of their benefits in terms of productivity gains and environmental
improvements, adoption rates, especially for variable-rate technologies, are
very low. In particular, in smallholder areas, farm managers are reluctant to
adopt these technologies. Therefore, this study identifies factors that hinder
or fac...
