Agriculture is considered one of the main nitrogen (N) pollution sources through the diffuse emissions of ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere and nitrate (NO3) to water bodies. The risk is particularly high in horticultural production systems (HPS), where the use of water and fertilizers is intensive and concentrated in space and time, and more specifically, in the case of v...

As climate changes due to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, agriculture will be one of the key human activities affected. Projections show that while overall global food production in the coming decades may keep pace with the food requirements of a growing world population, climate change might worsen existing regional disparities because it will reduce crop yields mo...

By considering all this there is a need for tailor-made strategies with combination of traditional and scientific reasoning to conserve the freshwater ecosystem.

Tomatoes produced by smallholders in the summer season Uzbekistan provide a significant part of population’s demand for tomato products. However, production is based on principles free market economy and operating at high risk. The paper aims to assess reduce level risks associated with infrastructure, financial, natural environmental, farm management political changes among entities smallholde...

Abstract It has become clear in recent decades that manufacturing supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions of varying geographical scales and intensities. These disruptions—whether intentional, accidental, or resulting from natural disasters—cause failures capacity reductions infrastructure, with lasting effects can cascade throughout the network. An overall lack understanding s...

Abstract The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to “strengthen the global response threat of climate change, in context sustainable development and efforts eradicate poverty” (UNFCCC 2015). Designing a mitigation strategy support this goal poses formidable challenges. For one, there are trade-offs between economic costs environmental benefits averting impacts. Furtherm...

Climate science suggests that, to have a high probability of limiting global warming to an average temperature increase of 2 1C, global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2020 and be reduced to close to zero by 2040. However, the current trend is heading towards at least 4 1C by 2100 and little effective action is being taken. This paper commences the process of developing contingency plans ...
