“…At the same time, in the new global economy, the implementation of sustainable development has become an essential challenge facing modern science and technology. − From this point of view, renewable plant biomass appears to be the most promising source of organic carbon for the chemical industry in the future. − Considering the available sources of renewable aromatics, lignin appears to be a promising choice. Being a complex polymer based on phenolic units, lignin could serve as an alternative source of bioderived aromatics.…”

Rapid development in the area of cellulose biomass conversion to furanic platform chemicals has led to expectations of their valuable practical use. Impressive research progress in this direction has resulted in several achievements but at the same time identified a key challengethe necessity to produce aromatic compounds. In this perspective, we analyze the current stage of development of the furanics-tobenzene conversion process (F2B process) in connection with a bioderived route to aromatic compounds. Cycloaddition reactions between bioderived C 6 -furans as diene components and alkene/alkyne units are discussed in detail, followed by considering the subsequent aromatization reaction. Progress in the development of the F2B process and future challenges are outlined in this perspective. The key role of the F2B process in the overall biomass to aromatics transformation is discussed in view of the implementation of carbon neutral sustainable technologies in practice.

“…Some regions such as Haiti and Madagascar have good conditions and tropical climates for algae cultivation, but it is incompatible with biodiversity and harms lands with high-value biodiversity. 56 If a country does not have enough non-arable lands and uses agricultural land for algae cultivation, the land-use change in a short time causes increasing carbon footprint and GHG emission. For example, in the European Union (EU), replacing current transport fuel with algal biodiesel demands one-fourth of the land currently used for agriculture.…”

“…Usando tecnologías avanzadas como los sensores, la inteligencia artificial y la robótica que se promueven cada vez más como un medio para mejorar la productividad en la producción de alimentos al tiempo que se minimiza el uso de recursos (Rotz et al 2019) puede combinar los insumos RED (reducidos) y la diversidad DAG (granos anuales diversificados) para reducir el impacto del cambio climático evitando pérdidas de NO3-N y P del suelo, proporcionando así una solución adaptativa y sostenible para la agricultura con respecto a las próximas variaciones estacionales de temperatura y precipitación (Lychuk et al 2019) para reducir los impactos ambientales de la agricultura (Sylvester et al 2016). También se puede usar microalgas como una alternativa prometedora para la producción futura de biocombustibles ya que no dependen necesariamente de suelos fértiles o agua dulce (Correa et al 2021).…”

Biodiversity is being affected by the overexploitation of natural resources, the increase of invasive species, climate change, intensive agriculture, and livestock farming. Among these, intensive soybean cultivation has displaced other products such as rice and wheat; intensive cultivation leads to increased use of agrochemicals, which generates severe socio-environmental effects, particularly on biodiversity. The objective of the study was to compile scientific literature produced on the loss of biodiversity caused by intensive agriculture and climate change, and within them the possible effects on the interrelationship between human beings and the environment. The methodological procedure was the systematic review developed in March 2021, using Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT with terms “biodiversity”, “climate change” and “agriculture” in the Scopus, Web of Science and Scielo databases. The results identified that there were at least 99 topics in Web of Science (99 topics), Scopus (155 topics) and Scielo (36 topics) that show the loss of biodiversity due to climate change and the expansion of intensive agriculture with consequences, not only in the regions surrounding the crops in question, but also indirectly in the mountain regions through the consumption of soybean in animals and derivatives in humans. It is concluded that biodiversity as a provider of food and disease prevention for humanity contributes to sustainability and, therefore, its preservation requires the adoption of aggressive public policies within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
