“…In some cases, many types of decisions are considered simultaneously. In other cases, the focus is narrowed to one or a few types of decisions, while assuming other decisions as given (Romera and Doole, 2016; Rojas‐Downing et al., 2018; Worden and Hailu, 2020; Quintero‐Herrera et al., 2021). To sum up, Table 8 gives an overview of the whole farm optimization studies sorted by their decision focus.…”

“…Cecchini et al (2022) and Rojas-Downing et al ( 2018) consider climate variability, while Worden and Hailu (2020) consider uncertainty in genomic selection and breeding. Furthermore, many of the models are static (see, e.g., Klootwijk et al, 2016;Notte et al, 2016;Dominati et al, 2019;Bellingeri et al, 2020;Rendel et al, 2020;Salinas-Martínez et al, 2020;Allison et al, 2021;Quintero-Herrera et al, 2021), but there are also many models that are dynamic (see, e.g., Castelán-Ortega et al, 2016;Cortez-Arriola et al, 2016;Romera and Doole, 2016;Shrestha et al, 2018;Paul et al, 2020;Ouellet et al, 2021;Taifouris and Martin, 2021;Kokemohr et al, 2022). The dynamic nature reflects that many of the decisions in farming rely on how some factors change over time, for example, the milk yield or weight of an animal.…”

This paper surveys recent literature on decision support for beef and dairy farming, covering 110 articles published between 2016 and 2022. We classify these articles based on the type of farm, country of application, objectives and decisions, model scope, and methodology. The paper provides guidance for future research efforts by discussing the choice between whole farm and intrafarm modeling, the choice between optimization and simulation, and how to leverage existing modeling frameworks. Additionally, we identify opportunities for future research and discuss possibilities for increasing the adoption of decision‐support tools in practice by farmers and industry advisors.

“…However, broccoli marketable florets (flower heads) represent only a minor part of the total above-ground plant biomass (<25% of the total yield), which generates a huge amount of agricultural waste [31,32]. So far, the use of broccoli waste is restricted to flour and fibre, standard extraction or characterisation of glucosinolates, and dairy cattle feed production [33][34][35][36]. The waste produced from broccoli by horticulture represents around 60-75% of the broccoli production [37,38].…”

A new biosorbent obtained from Calabrese broccoli stalks has been prepared, characterised and used as an effective, low-cost and ecofriendly biomass to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions, without any complicated pretreatment. Structural and morphological characterisation were performed by TGA/DGT, FTIR and SEM/EDX; the main components are hemicellulose, starches, pectin, cellulose, lignin and phytochemicals, with important electron donor elements (such as S from glucosinolates of broccoli) involved in Pb(II) sorption. The biosorbent showed values of 0.52 and 0.65 g mL−1 for bulk and apparent densities, 20.6% porosity, a specific surface area of 15.3 m2 g−1, pHpzc 6.25, iodine capacity of 619 mg g−1 and a cation exchange capacity of 30.7 cmol kg−1. Very good sorption (88.3 ± 0.8%) occurred at pH 4.8 with a biomass dose of 10 g L−1 after 8 h. The Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms and the pseudo-second-order kinetic models explained with good fits the favourable Pb(II) sorption on the heterogeneous surface of broccoli biomass. The maximum adsorption capacity was 586.7 mg g−1. The thermodynamic parameters evaluated showed the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the Pb(II) biosorption. The chemical mechanisms mainly involved complexation, ligand exchange and cation–π interaction, with possible precipitation.

“…Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool that has often been utilized for the estimate of environmental impacts 18 . Moreover, LCA has been used to plan alternatives to soften the environmental impacts of different processes by considering all material inputs and emissions along each production step of a given product 19,20 . The LCA includes impacts related to climate change, ozone depletion, eutrophication, acidification, human toxicity (cancer related and non‐cancer related), respiratory inorganics, ionizing radiation, ecotoxicity, photochemical ozone formation, land use, and resource depletion 21 .…”

The food industry generates large volumes of organic by‐products, which require proper environmentally friendly disposal. In the case of the apple‐processing industry, apple pomace constitutes 25–30% of the original apple weight. The conventional treatment of food industry by‐products involves composting, which releases greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change. This study presents an environmental assessment of apple pomace management technologies for industrial juice processing. The life cycle analysis (LCA) methodology was applied as a tool for evaluating the technological routes of composting (method conventionally used) and anaerobic digestion (AD) (an innovative technological route). The main change proposed to the current process would be the implementation of anaerobic reactors in the apple industry, avoiding the transport of apple pomace to the composting unit and producing bioenergy from the burning of methane‐rich biogas. The results showed a reduction in the environmental impacts in the system composed of AD of apple pomace. In the categories related to eutrophication and acidification, a reduction of approximately 50% was obtained when comparing AD with composting. The global warming potential and greenhouse gas emissions showed a significant reduction with the adoption of AD, due to the conversion of biogas into energy and its use by the industry. In conclusion, the implementation of AD technology for the management of apple pomace can be a promising alternative to recover bioenergy and decrease the environmental impacts caused by the apple‐juice processing industry. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
