Industrial crop cultivation on marginal agricultural land limits indirect land-use change effects that pose a threat to food security. This review compiles results from 91 published crop-specific field trial datasets spanning 12 relevant industrial crops and discusses their suitability for unfavorable soil types (USTs). It was shown the perennial species Miscanthus (Miscanthus Andersson) reed c...

Currently, there are increased interests in growing grain and fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) as well large-scale products. Cannabis has been grown/utilized for thousands of years a fiber, grain, drug/medicinal plant. However, the strict control cannabis cultivation to combat illegal use, spread new yarns oilseeds, advent cheap synthetic fibers caused decreased/eliminated production. Hemp banne...

One of the effective steps in use of water resources is accurate estimation of plants water requirement. Lack of accurate estimation of this amount leads to water loss and failure to achieve optimum yield, reduced potential of production, soil resources degradation by too much irrigation or lack of enough leaching and salinization of soils by irrigation less than necessary level, which would ul...

the objectives for this study were first to understand and estimate energy consumption in each stage of production and processing of milk using regional data and second, suggesting improvement opportunities. a cradle to gate assessment of market milk was performed by separating the system into three stages: agronomy, animal farm and processing plant. data were collected from multiple sources e....

Abstract Promoting crop diversification in European agriculture is a key pillar of the agroecological transition. Diversifying crops generally enhances productivity, quality, soil health and fertility, resilience to pests diseases reduces environmental stresses. Moreover, provides an alternative means enhancing farmers’ income. Camelina ( sativa (L.) Crantz) reemerged background approximately t...
