Agriculture faces many challenges, making it more and more difficult to achieve its primary objective-feeding the world-each year. Population growth and changes in diet associated with rising incomes drive greater demand for food and other agricultural products, while global food systems are increasingly threatened by land degradation, climate chan...

... Montpellier Panel (2013) [33] found that high priority must be given to helping farmers worldwide adapt to climate change and weather extremes by building more resilient agricultural systems. That requires making farming more precise by implementing agro--ecological, as well as socioeconomic intensification measures, and having the necessary support systems in place for maximum impact [ Figure 8a]. ...

... has recently been made in establishing better methodologies for yield gap analysis, mapping the yield gaps of major crops at global and regional scales, and understanding their different contexts. Although this is encouraging, a lot more remains to be done to obtain a deep understanding of yield and efficiency gaps in the world's major agricultural systems, at a scale that enables people to use this knowledge for concrete action in farmers' fields [ Figure 9a]. ...

Food systems and, to an extent, the pig sector are major contributors of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. At the same time, significant amounts of waste are produced from the food sector. The aim of this study is to examine the implementation of circular bio-economy practices in the Greek pig sector to improve its environmental performance....

... Due to lesser input cost and easy adoptability, this farming system is specifically suitable for small and marginal farmers [8]. The wide scale application of ZBNF can be helpful in reducing the use of harmful chemicals in the soil and pollution of water as well as air [9]. In Himachal Pradesh, this farming method was implemented in 2018 with the goal to convert the chemical farming (CF) system into natural farming in the state up to 2022 under the scheme of "Prakartik Kheti Khushal Kisan" [10]. ...
Abstract A study was conducted to record the effect of modified atmospheric packaging (MAP), storage conditions (ambient, zero energy cool chamber and refrigerated) as well as storage period on shelf-life and quality of tomatoes produced through Subhash Palekar natural farming (SPNF) and chemical farming (CHEM) systems. Freshly harvested tomatoes (SPNF and CHEM) packed in LDPE pouches (25.40 μm and 10 pin holes/100 cm2 area) and without packaging were stored under ambient (27±2 °C and 70±2% RH), zero energy cool chamber (ZECC) (17±2 °C and 82 ±2 % RH) and low temperature conditions (10±2 ºC and 90 % RH) for shelf-life studies. The shelf-life comparison was done at every two days’ interval up to 24 days based on physiological loss in weight (PLW) and spoilage percentage. SPNF and CHEM tomatoes were compared on the basis of quality attributes (firmness, acidity, TSS, sugars, total phenols, antioxidant activity etc.), mineral content and sensory characteristics. Results revealed that tomato stored in refrigerated condition had significantly (p ˂0.05) lowest PLW and spoilage incidence and highest sensory acceptability up to 24 days and was at par with ZECC stored tomatoes. Quality evaluation indicated that tomatoes grown under SPNF system contained a higher amount of total solids, total sugars, reducing sugars, ascorbic acid, total phenols and ash. The results showed that tomatoes with MAP and stored under refrigerated storage condition retained maximum quality up to 24 days followed by tomatoes stored under ZECC (18 days) compared to 12 days at ambient conditions.

... The modern agriculture has influenced the economy and way of life, resulting into the initial increase in production and farmers' earning. However, it has now become amatter of public debate for overshadowing its positive attributes with many ecological (Naresh et al 2018), economical (Lorenz and Lal 2016) and public health issues (Kumari and Sharma 2014). Furthermore, consumers are becoming more and more distrusting with respect to food safety and the credibility of the conventional farming is in doubt (Cristache et al 2018). ...
