Camelina (C. sativa L. Crantz) is a promising biofuel crop with high potential for cultivation on marginal soils. In this work, seed yields have been modelled to assess...

the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Commission (EC), the World Food Programme (WFP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and GEOGLAM are co-organising the EO for Agriculture...

The concept of crop yield is generally used to represent the average amount of produce obtained per unit of the crop area. In case of tree crops, the concept of yield covers the average...

The European bioeconomy is steadily driving an industrial, economic, and social growth looking for sustainable biobased feedstocks able to replace fossil-based materials. In this scenario, there is an urgent and increasing...

Tillage is one of the agricultural management practices that significantly impacts agroecosystems, crop production, and the environment. Conventional tillage (CT) practices alter the soil environment and induce organic...

The VALPRO Path project aims to shed light on the need to boost and diversify the production of plant-based protein in Europe. This is for a range of reasons including food security, human nutrition...

Forages are essential crops in high-latitude regions and the primary feed source for ruminant-based dairy industries. Maximizing farm economic and ecological performance, as well as meat and dairy...

Pathways to eradicate global hunger while bending the curve of biodiversity loss unanimously suggest changing to less energy-rich diets, closing yield gaps through agroecological...

Recent studies have estimated the potential yield impacts of pesticide reductions in the European Union. While these estimates guide policy design, they are often...

That climate variability and change can potentially force multiple simultaneous breadbasket crop yield shocks has been established. But research quantifying the mechanisms behind such...
