Reorganization and Resilience of Food Supply Chains According to Current International Crisis Scenario
The current international scenario with the war in Ukraine will have potential impacts on agri-food systems across the world. This scenario will change the balance of power among actors in the agri-food sector. High margins of uncertainty are common across supply chains in the face of uncontrolled increases in raw material prices and an uncertain guarantee of supply. This uncertainty is compounded by rising energy prices, putting the entire agrifood supply chain, which is highly energy-intensive, in crisis. In addition, the current war scenario could impact the demand for agricultural and food products by changing consumers' purchasing habits. Increasing the resilience of agri-food systems may need to become a priority for many national economic systems. In this scenario, the routes to achieve resilient agrifood systems are numerous and include reducing agriculture's dependence on energy, energy-intensive imports and raw material imports. Resilience also requires diversified import sources and market outlets through sound multilateral and bilateral trade policy.
New Metropolitan Perspectives
The book aims to face the challenge of post-COVID-19 dynamics toward green and digital transition, between metropolitan and return to villages’ perspectives. It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, economic programs and decision support tools, within the urban–rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities. The book focuses on six topics: inner and marginalized areas local development to re-balance territorial inequalities; knowledge and innovation ecosystem for urban regeneration and resilience; metropolitan cities and territorial dynamics; rules, governance, economy, society; green buildings, post-carbon city and ecosystem services; infrastructures and spatial information systems; cultural heritage: conservation, enhancement and management. In addition, the book hosts a Special Section: Rhegion United Nations 2020-2030. The book will benefit all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in the issues applied to metropolitan cities and marginal areas.
Agrobiodiversity, Community Participation and Landscapes in Agroecology
Maintaining and managing agrobiodiversity is a key issue proposed by agroecology, not only to maintain high agricultural productivity, but also to increase the resilience, stability and sustainability of the agroecosystems, meant as the functional relationship between the natural assets and the human use of them, at farm and farm matrix scale. The main hypothesis of this approach is that, the greater the interactions between organisms of different trophic levels (edaphic organisms, multiple crops, weed plants, herbivores, carnivores, plants in living fences, corridors or forest patches within agroecosystems), the greater will be the possibilities of obtaining abundant and varied harvests, wi...
AIIA 2022: Biosystems Engineering Towards the Green Deal
This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of biosystems engineering, as presented at the 12th Conference of the Italian Association of Agricultural Engineering (AIIA), held in Palermo, Italy, on September 19-22, 2022. Focusing on the challenges of improving the resilience of agriculture, forestry and food systems in the post-Covid era, it shows how the research has addressed the following topics: Monitoring and modelling hydraulic and hydrological processes in agriculture and forestry systems; Challenges in stream rehabilitation and soil conservation strategies; Sustainable water resource management under climate change scenarios; Planning safe, heal...

I Greci selvaggi
Tra le monografie dedicate alla figura di Ernesto de Martino, spicca per originalità di temi e acutezza d’analisi I Greci selvaggi di Riccardo Di Donato. Straordinario lettore e interprete di documenti inediti, lettere e manoscritti, che qui s’illuminano reciprocamente, il celebre ellenista ripercorre i momenti più significativi della storia intellettuale demartiniana: la partecipazione alla Resistenza, la scelta del Sud e del meridionalismo, la passione politica e il disincanto partitico a seguito della Rivoluzione ungherese del 1956. Dall’interesse per i misteri dei culti antichi fino alla fondazione di un’antropologia religiosa, passando per le forme di cultura e religiosità po...
Ancora una volta il mare
Chi, tra le tre sorelle protagoniste di Ancora una volta il mare, pronuncia questa frase? La primogenita Roberta, la sensuale Lucia o Nannina, la più giovane e sognatrice?Tutto ha inizio a Monterchi. Davanti alla Madonna del Parto di Piero della Francesca, la diciannovenne Roberta Alessi viene avvicinata da un uomo, un poeta di qualche anno più grande di lei. È un incontro voluto dal destino, l’inizio di un’appassionata storia d’amore.Lui si chiama Alessandro Lang. È dolce, romantico, imprevedibile, anche se spesso scompare per lunghi periodi, prigioniero della sua poesia. La coppia sta insieme per anni finché, un giorno, vedendo Alessandro con Lucia, Roberta si convince che abbia...
