Bio-economy and Agri-production: Concepts and Evidence

Bio-economy and Agri-Production: Concepts and Evidence bridges the knowledge gap on sustainability and bio-economy aspects of agri-production over the last decade. It complements traditional aspects on the specific topic with advanced engineering and ICT approaches that have been recently applied in the agri-business (e.g. knowledge-based agriculture) under the prism of sustainability and circular economy principles. The proposed book approaches aspects of sustainable bio-economy in agriculture in a holistic way, contributing to the development of integrated agricultural systems. Based on topics presented at the XXXVIII CIOSTA & CIGR V International Conference, and supplemented by targeted invited articles of key-scientists, this book recognizes that as technology advances, agricultural production management practices are now being called upon to address the need for sustainability in the bio-economy. Topics including circular economy in agri-business, lifecycle thinking, lean management, agri-chains, green production and waste management, labor ergonomics and other social aspects are all addressed in this important resource. Complements traditional aspects on specific topics with advanced engineering and ICT approachesFocuses on responsible management practices to protect the environment while producing needed resourcesProvides real-world insights into transitioning practices INDICE: 1.
