Microwave communication networks as a sustainable tool of rainfall monitoring for agriculture needs in Africa
(Corresponding) David N., (Corresponding) Gao H., Kumah K., Hoedjes J., Su B., Liu Y.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs), that provide the underlying framework for data transfer between cellular network base stations have been found effective for monitoring rainfall. Wireless infrastructure of this kind is deployed widely by communication providers across Africa and can be used as a...Read more
Effect of the forage maize-pasture rotation on the soil carbon storage in Galicia (NW Spain)
(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Galicia is a region in NW Spain with high economic dependence on dairy cattle where livestock feeding is mainly based on the production of forage maize. In this region, one of the major challenges for the forage maize production systems is to maximize the economic return while minimizing...Read more
Climate Adaptation and Local Institutions: An Assessment of The Adaptive Capacities of Key Sectors In Adansi North District
(Corresponding) Enu K., Ahenkan A., Ackom E., Odame Appiah D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The over-domineering of political policies aimed at perpetuating power means issues of social interest such as climate adaptation capabilities are often relegated to the background. Thus, the success of adaptation efforts often hinges ultimately on the nature of institutional robustness and...Read more

CIRC4FooD: An urban food production system inspired by the circular economy
(Corresponding) Tsatsou A., Ioannides C., Noutsopoulos C., Tsimiklis G., Chrisomallos G., Tsiropoulos Z., Mamais D., Malamis S.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The environmental footprint of the current, linear food system is a key challenge that must be faced for a global transition to sustainability. Agricultural practices are drivers of polluting food production, while cities form critical hubs of wasteful food consumption. In this context, urban...Read more

Implementing Circular Economy in Wineries: The Case of Greece
(Corresponding) Kounani A., Sotiropoulou E., Seleventi M.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Grape is considered one of the largest fruit crops in the world, since its 2017 production, the vast majority of which was used in winemaking, reached 74 MT globally and 24 MT in the EU. The main target of this paper is to highlight the urgent need for transforming the linear model into a circular...Read more
Environmental LCA and Carbon Footprint of Cauliflower as Produced in Southeast Spain
Rasines L., San Miguel G., Molina-García Á., Artés-Hernández F., Hontoria E., (Corresponding) Aguayo E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Southern Spain has an optimal climate for growing fruits and vegetables. Over 39,534 ha are currently dedicated to the production of cauliflower and broccoli in Spain, 33% of which correspond to the Region of Murcia. This type of intensive agriculture causes environmental impacts which must be...Read more
Application of cutting-edge environmental technologies for the development of resilient and sustainable cities
(Corresponding) Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The development of resilient and sustainable cities emerged as a solution to tackle the several challenges arising from the exponential growth of urban areas population worldwide. The implementation of environmental technologies represents a solution to minimize negative impacts of crowded cities...Read more
Relationship of satellite-derived atmospheric CH4 concentrations with agriculture sector CH4 emissions in Turkey
Ceylan E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic:
Air pollution
In this study, bottom-up annual CH4 emissions from agriculture (rice cultivation, enteric fermentation and manure) were calculated with the IPCC Tier 1 approach on county-level, and province totals were obtained for the first time in Turkey. Konya, which produces the highest annual CH4 emissions (...Read more
Agroforestry innovation networks (AFINET): Knowledge Transfer and Innovation
Rodríguez-Rigueiro F., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Agroforestry is recognised as climate-smart agriculture, being a powerful tool for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Considering knowledge transfer a capital challenge to overcome the needed transition towards this for the European Commission, the AFINET (AgroForestry Innovation NETworks)...Read more
Using multiregional environmentally extended input-output assessment to quantify the carbon footprint of peach production
BAÑALES B., (Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., NÚÑEZ P., DIEZMA B., ÁLVAREZ S., CORREA E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The main objective of this investigation is to analyse the validity of multiregional input-output methodology to evaluate the environmental performance of peach production using a life cycle approach. The analysis is based on a detailed sectorial economic foreground inventory applicable to the...Read more
