“…In this perspective, this part will be structured in the following subsections: environmental impacts and climate change; new technologies and approaches; food supply and security; farming systems and crop management; multifunctionality and agricultural/rural development. [2] The new technologies and approaches are not exempt of risks and vulnerabilities [40] CSA approach is a promising solution for the sustainability [41] Some studies use the terminology of Environment-Smart Agriculture (ESA) [19] CSA is a concept presented by FAO in 2010, is known as the "triple win" approach [42] CSA practices improve the soil resilience and quality [43] The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Everything (IoE) may bring relevant added value for the farms [44] The wireless sensor network is an interesting tool to collect data [45] The biosensors are other techniques to collect information [46] Mobile applications, big data analytics and information systems, cloud computing, drones, blockchain, artificial intelligence [47] An efficient use of the agriculture resources, such as water, soil and energy, is crucial for competitiveness and food and security [48] Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors to the global warming [49] The agricultural sector contributes with about a third of the anthropogenic GHG emissions worldwide [50] The eco-efficiency is the buzzword for the sustainability [51] The rice-wheat cropping systems concern particularly the researchers specifically in South Asia [52] Africa is another world region where it is important to promote cleaner farming systems [53] Sometimes the sustainable practices are misunderstood in these countries [54] In other cases and contexts there is not a convergent view about the CSA practices [20] CSA concept has a narrow perspective about the current farming contexts and a wider debate is needed [55] Rural development may benefit from the concept of smart villages [56] Sometimes is easier to convince the entrepreneurs than the policymakers [57] For an effective CSA implementation the farmers should be involved in the policy design process [58] Vocational training and the extension services may contribute for the adoption of the CSA practices [59] The European Union invested over the last years a significant part of its budget to promote CSA practices…”

“…In the relationships between the agricultural sector, food security and the environmental impacts, on the framework of the climate change, the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach appears as a promising solution [40] for the sustainability [4] with the following three objectives: improve the resilience of the farming sector to the climate change; mitigate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; and guarantee the food security [60]. The resilience will be the main challenge to deal with the climate change [61] and the transition to smart solutions is unstoppable [62].…”

The innovative technologies developed in the different fields of science (nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, genetic modification, etc.) opened new and infinite possibilities for the several stakeholders that carry out their activities in the different economic sectors. For agriculture, these new approaches are particularly relevant and may bring interesting contributions, considering the specificities of the sector, often dealing with contexts of land abandonment and narrow profit margins. Nonetheless, the question in these unstopped evolutions is about the interlinkages with sustainability. In this context, the objectives of this study are to highlight the main insights from the available scientific literature about the interrelationships between the new trends in the agriculture and the sustainability. To achieve these aims, a search on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) and Scopus databases was carried out, on 15 May 2021, for the topics ‘smart agriculture’ and ‘sustainability’. A total of 231 documents (102 from WoS and 129 from Scopus) were obtained, remaining 155 documents after removing the duplicated, which were surveyed through systematic review following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach. As main insights, the concerns of the researchers with the impacts on the sustainability from the transformations in the farming organization are highlighted. On the other hand, it was shown the relevance and the new opportunities, including in terms of food supply, arising from the precision agriculture, agricultural intelligence, vertical/urban farming, circular economy, internet of things, and crowdfarming. We suggest the new and wider concept of ‘integrated-smart agriculture’, better than ‘climate-smart agriculture’.

“… Braimoh (2013) speculated that there is a linkage between the conventional agriculture and food insecurity, due to the massive pollution/emissions and deforestation that occur from the practice of the current form of conventional food production. In fact, more than 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are the result of unsustainable agriculture ( Brohm and Klein, 2020 ).…”

Rapid rate of industrialization has turned our planet around in favor of fast foods, food fraud, food terrorism, food waste, food adulteration, food poisoning, food contamination and food injustice, paving the path for green, smart and organic products. Green foods are grown and harvested in the absence of any form of environmental pollution or harmful conditions. Smart foods are termed to be good for the consumers, farmers and the planet. Organic foods are regarded as “credence goods” because some of the attributes that consumers may consider are neither obvious nor easily verified. Therefore, these three terms are interconnected as they forge a substantive common denominator - healthfulness. The concepts of green, smart and organic (GSO) foods are herein recounted together with their interdependence and relationship to health and sustainability. The processes, policies and global trends of GSO foods were discussed, whilst not undermining the benefits and challenges associated with them.

Social and Economic Aspects of Sustainable Development of Livestock Production and Meat Consumption in the Czech Republic

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this article was to express social and economic aspects of the sustainable livestock production in relation to meat consumption in the Czech Republic and to predict the possibilities of further development of livestock production in the conditions of Czech agriculture. With the accession of Czechia to the EU (2004), the structure of Czech agriculture changed to the detriment of livestock production. The decisive sectors of livestock production are pig breeding, cattle breeding and poultry farming. This article (contribution) analyzes trends in the development of production in the basic categories of livestock, and it evaluates the degree of self-sufficiency of the economy in the given sector of agricultural production and the consumption of individual types of meat in Czechia. Using Holt’s model of statistical analysis, it then predicts the future consumption of meat and its individual types in the Czech Republic in the years 2020–2024. As research has shown, the sustainable development of livestock production and meat consumption in the Czech Republic depends not only on the mutual size of meat production and consumption or its quality, but also significantly on the market prices of meat (including world prices), as well as changes in eating habits of the population.
