This paper aims to broadly develop the concept of bioeconomy from the perspective of agricultural producers, presenting an analysis of the current challenges as well as the future trends in this field. In the coming period, the world economy is moving towards increased competition for limited...

During the last years, the renewable energy strategy of the European Union (EU) and the proposed policies and regulations, namely the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), have been heavily discussed among scientific circles and various interest groups. The sustainability of different biofuels and...

Indigenous fruits contribute widely to rural incomes in Southern Africa but their availability is declining. A domestication program aims to increase farm-household income and conserve biodiversity through farmer-led tree planting. Planting domesticated indigenous fruit trees is an uncertain,...

The challenges facing the 21st century, presented by a growing global population, range from food security to sustainable energy supplies to the diminishing availability of fossil raw materials. An attempt to solve these problems is made by using the concept of bioeconomy. Plants, in particular,...

The gap between demand for and supply of food in Ethiopia can be reduced by improving farm productivity through the introduction of productivity-enhancing technologies. Conversely, in Ethiopia, the adoption rates of agricultural technologies remain below the expected levels. Hence, by using...

Production data registered at winter wheat Ariesan cultivar in 2007-2017 period, indicates suitability for cultivation in system with no ploughing, the difference in production between the two systems classic and conservative is just 81 kg/ha thus, in the classic system the average yield was...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the soybean yield obtained from the application of the additional fertilization and economic efficiency determination. Experimental factors: Factor A - the fertilization: a1-N20P20K0 (100 kg/ha), applied simultaneously with sowing, a2-N20P20K0 (100...

Despite years of scientific effort to develop useful and safe biotech crops, ideologies have prevailed and genetically modified (GM-)crops have still not been fully accepted by today's society. This leads one to reflect on the role of Science in society, on what makes scientists credible, and...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the soybean yield obtained from the application of the minimum tillage system compared to the classical tillage system. Conservative tillage systems have become an important part of agriculture, and the need to apply these systems is justified by the...
