Although eco-innovation in the agri-food sector is receiving increasing attention, heterogeneity of firms operating encourages development specific sub-sectoral studies to define strategies. In this regard, main goal present study evaluate drivers olive oil production sector. Our empirical method relies on data from Spanish mills, and uses qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). The results sho...

In Western Europe, recreational amenity is presented as an important cultural ecosystem service that, along with other values, helps justify policies to conserve biodiversity. However, whether recreational use by the public is enhanced at protected areas designated for nature conservation is unknown. This is the first study to model outdoor recreation at a national scale, examining habitat pref...

The aim of the present work has been to characterize, by NMR-based metabolic profiling, extravirgin olive oils (EVOOs) from a subarea (Salento) of Apulia, leader EVOO producer among the Italian regions. According to the European Union (EU) definition, Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) products are mostly closely linked to the concept of terroir due to the place of origin, climate and local ...

BACKGROUND Raw ewe's milk, as used to manufacture Serra da Estrela Protected Designation of Origin cheese, was pre-treated by high pressure processing (HPP), using previously optimized conditions (121 MPa for 30 min), aiming evaluate its effect on milk technological properties subsequent cheese production, namely the impact resulting curd, whey and throughout ripening. RESULTS The yield increas...

Cheese production causes significant environmental impacts, which have to be reduced. In France, a lot of different cheeses are available, made from milks but also cheese technologies. The goal this study was understand the origin impact variation between technologies and produced using ripening practices. To do so, impacts 44 types French artisanal cheese, all under protected designation (PDO)...

Vegetation is sparsely distributed over Antarctica's ice-free ground, and distinct plant communities are present in each of the continent's 15 recently identified Antarctic Conservation Biogeographic Regions (ACBRs). With rapidly increasing human activity in Antarctica, terrestrial plant communities are at risk of damage or destruction by trampling, overland transport, and infrastructure constr...
