The adoption of AV could enhance the environmental and ecological sustainability of agricultural land compared with conventional solar energy deployment (i.e., PV array systems) and crop monoculture alone as recently reported (Gomez-Casanovas et al., 2023).
The achievement of sustainability in agriculture and food systems means a relentless effort to consider and align the socioeconomic and ecological goals of agriculture and other economic sectors. Energy is integral in all food network phases like crop production, forest management, dairy farming, post-harvest operations, food
Coordinating agricultural production and the ecological environment is a crucial aspect of sustainable growth, while digital transformation (DIG) provides new technical means to achieve this goal. Consequently, it is essential to investigate the impact of DIG on agricultural ecological efficiency (AEE). Thirty of China''s provinces have
Here, we propose techno–ecological synergy (TES), a framework for engineering mutually beneficial relationships between technological and ecological systems, as an approach to augment the
Our main assertions in this opinion article are that: (1) AV systems need to overcome several agronomical, environmental, and ecological challenges to intensify
In the middle of the 20th century, as productivist agriculture developed (Wiilson and Rigg, 2003), ecosystem ecology and its associated theories emerged.The theory of the strategy of ecosystem development proposed by Odum (1969), in which soils and its biodiversity occupy a major place, describes the evolution over time of functional
Oil spills are of great concern because oily wastewater disrupts the aquatic ecosystem, causes mutations in animals, contaminates surface water resources, and causes diseases such as cancer in humans. Current efforts are geared towards recovering spilled oil from aquatic environments and ensuring the effective separation of oil and water in the
We provide a theoretical basis for microbial storage ecology by distinguishing a spectrum of storage strategies ranging from surplus storage (storage
By adjusting green production practices, we can reduce the negative impacts of agriculture on ecosystems, thereby maintaining ecological balance and ecological security [74].
The agriculture sector needs innovative energy storage solutions if farmers hope to make the most of their renewable energy. Industry professionals are
Protecting the environment is essential because a healthy ecosystem purifies air and water, maintains the soil, regulates the temperature, recycles nutrients, and provides food. However, when nations experience fast growth, they pay the utmost attention to their development and disregard the environmental and development-related
Agricultural ecology is simply the examina tion of food production activities in the-context of the world ecosystem. The first principle of agricultural ecology is that, with very minor exceptions, the systems from which man ob tains food are ecosystems, the most highly manipulated of which we now commonly term agroecosystems.
Using all OECD indicators for sustainable agriculture through energy measures, the proposed zero emission agricultural system reduces external energy
Energy holds a key role in farm systems. Cultivation is based on the conversion of solar energy into biomass of interest. Fossil energy allows mechanized
Energy cover crops could provide one third of the necessary biomass and serve as the main source of agricultural biomass (ADEME 2018). Energy cover
By advancing energy management practices and promoting the adoption of renewable energy in agriculture, we can contribute to a more sustainable and
Results indicated that multiple uncertainties (i.e., random water availability and fuzzy cultivation area) can impact the synergetic management of WAE nexus system. In detail, with the increasing p level (from 0.01 to 0.15), as shown in Fig. 2, the share of water allocation for agricultural irrigation would decrease by [8.5, 9.7] %, while that for animal
Abstract. Insect ecology addresses an astounding variety of interactions between insects and their environment. A unifying theme is the diversity of positive and negative direct and indirect feedbacks that govern insect responses to environmental changes and their potential regulation of primary production, energy and nutrient fluxes, and climate.
Birds force Australia to activate defen - How to turned INVASIVE BIRD into a source of HUGE PROFIT？
Farm PV systems contribute toward the reduction of energy supplied from the grid, reducing peak load demand and mitigating transmission losses as generation is done onsite [10], [11]. The cost-effectiveness of PV systems depends on the availability of solar radiation in a specific region as well as electricity prices.
The aim of this paper is (1) to propose a framework to include ecological engineering tools in coastal protection and (2) to apply this framework in different pilot projects which make use of ecosystem engineer services. We will achieve these objectives by reviewing the spatial and temporal scales involved in coastal protection both from an
Current food systems are at a crossroads. There is a strong need for transforming food production and consumption patterns in a sustainable way. One where farmers adapt and build resilience to the

Agriculture can reduce environmental pressures and tackle poverty and related injustices. Showing examples of agricultural systems that do so while producing food and energy, this Perspective
The international 4 per 1000 initiative aims at supporting states and non-governmental stakeholders in their efforts towards a better management of soil carbon (C) stocks. These stocks depend on soil C inputs and outputs. They are the result of fine spatial scale interconnected mechanisms, which stabilise/destabilise organic matter-borne C. Since
Traditional rural cultural heritage is not only the crystallisation of China''s long agricultural history but also can guide the development of modern agriculture to some extent. It has its
Soil Properties • Soil is a living, viable ecosystem – "dirt" is what you get under your fingernails. • Soil is classified according to its texture –the amount of sand, silt and clay in it. • Sand 0.2 mm • Silt 0.02 mm • Clay 0.002 mm. Soil properties • Soil with more clay in it has greater nutrient holding ability than soil
The additional energy required by a transition to high-input farming might have direct impact on energy poverty and fairness in access to local energy resources
Under China''s carbon neutrality vision, the integration of resource consumption and ecological protection in agricultural production requires increased attention to agroecology. This study comprehensively integrates the carbon impact within agricultural ecological efficiency (AEE). Based on the window analysis of super-SBM
Some European countries are exploring the idea of replacing dedicated crops with energy cover crops for biogas production. Indeed, energy cover crops can generate consequential biomass without competing with food crops for land use. However, the potential benefits and impacts of this choice are not fully understood. Here, we review
Here are 5 lessons that agriculture can learn from ecology: 1. Systems are interconnected. Mass production systems such as monocultures with intensive practices often treat components of an agroecological system, like nutrients or microorganisms in the soil, as completely separate entities. This makes them more manageable in the short
Furthermore, findings from Dimobe et al. (2019) showed that carbon storage was largely controlled by stand composition than local ecological conditions in Burkina Faso. Pellikka et al. (2018) reported land-use change as the main driver of carbon storage in Kenya.
They serve as a natural nursery for fish and also provide protection against coastal erosion. 5,245 square kilometers of mangroves have been lost due to human activities such as agriculture,
Recently, various research and industrial endeavors have been stimulated to convert agricultural biomass into renewable energy and chemicals, while critical issues related to energy conversion efficiency, environmental pollution, and economic feasibility
1. Introduction Although China''s arable land constitutes only 9 % of the global total, it can produce 25 % of the world''s food, effectively resolving the food security issue for its nearly 1.4 billion population (Hu et al., 2019), which is an impressive achievement in agricultural development.
