Agricultural policy in the European Union at Community level, as well member states, increasingly emphasises issue of sustainable agriculture. The pursuit climate neutrality requires a reduction emissions from agricultural sources. Above all, it is necessary to fully exploit potential and forestry areas increase carbon sequestration biomass soil, optimise systems for storage, transport use live...

Climate change and the need to feed an increasing population undermines food production safety, representing reasons behind development of a new agriculture that is much more sustainable, productive accessible worldwide. Genome editing and, in particular, clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) tools will play major role plant breeding address ...

An important factor in sustainable agriculture and economic management is to calculate areas under different crops that the inputs of agriculture connect to this topic. Planning of agricultural mechanization, fertilizer and pesticide requirements, pests and diseases control, estimates of agricultural production, income and tax and financial planning, all linked to the cultivated areas and estim...

Due to constant decrease in farmlands, it is important to identify the best lands for sustainable agriculture (productive and profitable agriculture that protects the environment and that is socially equitable). This requirement has resulted in the development of land suitability maps for agriculture by combining a range of factors. Spatial analysis approaches, based on the concepts of the weig...

Soil degradation is one of the most topical environmental threats. A number processes causing soil degradation, specifically erosion, compaction, salinization, pollution, and loss both organic matter biodiversity, are also strictly connected to agricultural activity its intensification. The development adoption sustainable agronomic practices able preserve enhance physical, chemical, biological...

This paper discusses the medicinal herb industry in relation to conservation of medicinal plants, including an overview of sustainable wildcrafting and sustainable forest agriculture. Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) and Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) are given as examples of wild herbs of economic importance which may be readily cultivated. Includes guidelines and techniques for forest fa...
