Abstract:
Abstract China has traditionally placed tremendous importance on agricultural research. Meanwhile, in recent years, sustainable agriculture has been increasingly highlighted in both policy agenda and the capital market. However, while terms like environmental friendliness, low carbon, organic and green agriculture have become buzzwords in the media, few meaningful discussions have been raised to examine the relationship between science and technology (S&T) development and sustainable agriculture. What's more, some environmentalists stress that sustainable agriculture should abandon modern agriculture's heavy reliance on science and industrialization, making the link between agricultural S&T and sustainable agriculture seem problematic. What is the truth? If S&T are to play an important role in advancing sustainable agriculture, what is the current status of the field? What factors have caused the sustainable development of agriculture in China? At an online forum organized by the National Science Review (NSR), Hepeng Jia, commissioned by NSR executive editor-in-chief Mu-ming Poo, asked four scientists in the field to examine the dynamic relationship between sustainable agriculture and agricultural S&T in the Chinese context.

Abstract:
The aim of this analysis is to examine the efficacy of sustainable farming in Africa and industrial farming. Sustainable agriculture as an approach to food production that combines agriculture's economic, social and environmental dimensions. The agricultural societies in Asia and Africa have effectively followed these values. The growing evidence and accessible scientific review of the creation of programs suggests that sustainable interventions can be highly successful to enhance productivity, promote protection of soil and water incomes and to ensure food safety; improve agricultural, wildlife and plant health; increase natural disasters and climate change resistance, minimize greenhouse gas emissions and promote societies. This demonstrates that the efficiency of organic farming has a positive influence in different countries on the future of agriculture.

Abstract:
This document includes three completed publications to represent Urban Agriculture as a ideal solution to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The first publication (Weaver, 2017a) provided in Chapter Two examines the stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) modelling parameters for the current EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) as the first step to developing Urban Agriculture BMPs. The second publication (Weaver, 2015) provided in Chapter Three highlights how many high-rated scholars have identified agriculture as a critical driver for the planetary systems impacts we find with community development. The third publication (Weaver, 2017b) provided in Chapter Four breaks down a completely new definition for Urban Agriculture, as the foundational works disagree on meaning, resulting in an ambiguous definition. Together, these publications encourage engineers to model Sustainable Development options with green infrastructure (Weaver, 2017a), distinct from the Planetary Systems impacts of other contemporary options (Weaver, 2015), with a greater understanding of the social capital to engage stakeholders in meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Weaver, 2017b).

Abstract:

Scientists widely accept that modern agriculture is unsustainable, but the best methods for addressing unsustainability are still contested (Constance, Konefal, and Hatanaka 2018). Grassroots sustainable agriculture communities have long participated in the exploration of solutions for agriculture unsustainability, and their momentum continues to grow in the technical age. Practitioners of grassroots sustainable agriculture use many information systems that were not originally built to support the design of agricultural systems. Based on ethnographic research with two grassroots sustainable agriculture communities, I show that participants’ personal and community values frequently clashed with those embedded in information systems, including ones used to look for and manage plant information. Furthermore, I demonstrate a range of information challenges that participants faced in the absence of tools designed to support their specific work. I argue that practitioners of grassroots sustainable agriculture need information systems tailored to their goals and values in order to productively address barriers to designing and building agroecosystems for their communities.

This dissertation provides an example of how to involve communities in the development of information technology artifacts and strengthen efforts to support sustainability via technological interventions. First, I engaged in two grassroots sustainable agriculture communities as a participant, experiencing their practices, values, and information challenges first hand. Then, I worked with the communities to create a plant database web application (SAGE Plant Database) that supports agroecosystem design in local contexts. Members of the communities participated in the design, development, and data population stages so that the SAGE Plant Database supports their design context and upholds their technological and holistic sustainability values. At the foundation of the database is a plant ontology grounded in the participants’ practice of designing agroecosystems. My comparative analysis of the design of the SAGE Plant Database to other databases demonstrates its relevance due to its emphasis on agroecological relationships among plants and between plants and the environment, the inclusion of ethnobotanical data, and the embedded community values. By engaging in this research, I seek to make progress towards transforming the technology-supported food system into one that furthers food security, food sovereignty, and holistic sustainability.

Abstract:
At the United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change COP15 (2009) Brazil presented ambitious commitments or Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), to reduce greenhouse gases emissions (GHGs) mitigation by 2020. At COP21 (2015), the country presented new commitments and a framework to achieve further mitigation targets by 2030 as so-called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). Both NAMAs and INDCs focus on the land use change and agricultural sectors, but the INDCs include a commitment of zero illegal deforestation in the Amazon by 2030. This research focuses on the contribution of the livestock sector to reducing GHGs through the adoption of sustainable intensification measures. A detailed linear programming model, called Economic Analysis of Greenhouse Gases for Livestock Emissions (EAGGLE), of beef production was developed to evaluate environmental trade-offs. The modelling encompasses pasture degradation and recovery processes, animal and deforestation emissions, soil organic carbon dynamics and upstream life-cycle inventory. The model was parameterized for the Brazilian Cerrado, Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes and further developed for farm-scale and regional-scale analysis. Different versions of the EAGGLE model was used to: (i) Evaluate the GHG mitigation potential and economic benefit of optimizing pasture management through the partitioning of initially uniform pasture area; (ii) to define abatement potential and cost-effectiveness of key mitigation measures applicable to the Brazilian Cerrado; (ii) to demonstrate the extent of cost-effective mitigation that can be delivered by the livestock sector as part of INDCs, and to show a result that underpins the national INDC target of zero deforestation; and (iv) to evaluate the consequences of reducing (or increasing) beef production on GHGs in the Cerrado. Counter-intuitively, a sensitivity analysis shows that reducing beef consumption could lead to higher GHG emissions, while increasing production could reduce total GHGs if livestock is decoupled from deforestation.

Abstract:
Today more than 200 million people are suffering from malnutrition in Africa, a major contributing factor to this is that Africa is the continent, by a large margin, that gets least yield per cultivated hectare. The relatively poor yield is not because Africa has no cultivable land but because of the prevailing agricultural practices. Orongo is a village in western Kenya, where large parts of agriculture are threatened by severe soil erosion problems and two-thirds of the inhabitants are totally dependent on agriculture for food and economic security. Today's agricultural practices have proved inadequate. Organic agriculture is not dependent on high-tech methods or expensive synthetic chemicals to provide a relatively good harvest and has therefore proved to have particularly good potential to increase the harvest of small-scale farmers living under poor circumstances. Organic agriculture relies entirely on natural processes that exist to increase soil fertility. The strengthening of these natural processes is the most important work in Organic agriculture with many long-lasting positive effects and a constant increase of soil fertility as a result. All the different components of organic agriculture have the potential to independently contribute to the desired development, decreased soil erosion and increased resistance of the local ecosystem are common consequences of organic agriculture components. There are many indications that Organic agriculture could provide a sustainable solution to the malnutrition problem in Orongo but to implement such modernization has globally proven difficult. The various components must all be adapted to the local biophysical circumstances, the local need and knowledge level of the farmers concerned. This document describes and analyzes these components from an Orongo perspective and looks at local cultural phenomena that must be considered. For a modernization to organic agriculture to be possible, a combined effort will be necessary, both to raise awareness of Organic agriculture through physical demonstration and classical learning but also provide economic security and incentives for farmers who want to change to Organic agriculture. It is also important to encourage entrepreneurship forces that can help to spread the different components of organic agriculture, components that on their own can contribute to a desired development.

Abstract:
L'urbanisme sostenible promou el desenvolupament d'estratègies amb l’objectiu de la sostenibilitat del territori. Una d'aquestes estratègies és l'agricultura urbana (AU). Específicament, els hivernacles en cobertes o terrats (RTGs) permeten el cultiu d'aliments a la ciutat sense comprometre superfície de sòl permeable. No obstant això, la investigació que abordi el seu comportament energètic i que brindi eines per a la quantificació i anàlisi de la seva viabilitat és limitada. A Amèrica Llatina i al Carib (ALC), l'estudi de la AU encara es troba en una etapa inicial, fet pel qual és necessari aprofundir i promoure el seu estudi. La present tesi doctoral pretén cobrir aquests àmbits d'estudi a través d'intentar donar resposta a les següents quatre preguntes: -Per als països desenvolupats (i) En quina mesura les eines urbanes, arquitectòniques, socials i sostenibles contribueixen a avaluar el potencial d'implementació de l'agricultura en terrats d'edificis existents en ciutats del sud d'Europa?, (ii) Pot la integració d'un hivernacle al terrat d'un edifici, aprofitant el seu intercanvi de fluxos tèrmics residuals, contribuir tecnològicament i arquitectònicament al desenvolupament de l'agricultura urbana?; -per als països en vies de desenvolupament (iii) Quin és el panorama actual de l'agricultura urbana als països en desenvolupament d'Amèrica Llatina i el Carib?, (iv) Quines són les implicacions de la planificació urbana i l'habitatge social en la promoció de l'agricultura urbana per a la sostenibilitat de la ciutat llatinoamericana de grandària mitjana? La tesi inclou un marc interdisciplinari. En cada línia de recerca estudiada s'han utilitzat materials i mètodes complementaris per a l'obtenció de dades específiques: sensors aerotransportats, sensors de temperatura i humitat de l'aire, diversos programaris, revisió documental, entrevistes i grups d'interès, entre d’altres. Els resultats van demostrar que un hivernacle integrat al terrat (iRTG) pot proporcionar temperatures dins del rang 14-26 °C, les quals són idònies per als sistemes tancats d'horticultura en zona mediterrània. A més es poden “reciclar” 341.93 kWh / m2 / any d'energia de calefacció de la resta de l'edifici. L'ús dels sensors aerotransportats (TASI 600 i Leica ALS50-II) per a la identificació de les característiques bàsiques dels terrats per a la implementació d'hivernacles, és viable i confiable. L'eina multicriteri per a la presa de decisions per a la implementació de RTGs va demostrar ser viable i objectiva, i l'ús d'un índex de sostenibilitat global minimitza la subjectivitat del procés i permet seleccionar l'alternativa més sostenible. L'estudi de la AU en ALC es desenvolupa en almenys 14 països, però el 86% de la recerca està centrada a Brasil, Cuba, Mèxic, Colòmbia i Argentina. La AU desenvolupa cinc funcions: ecològica-ambiental, social, productiva, urbana-política i econòmica. A més, és una mesura d'emergència enfront dels problemes socials i dels perills naturals, i està vinculada a l'habitatge social i al planejament urbà. Els barris d'habitatge social tenen característiques que els fan espais apropiats per al desenvolupament de l'agricultura vertical. La AU sol desenvolupar-se de forma tradicional dins dels límits del predi, a escala petita i de forma privada. El cultiu de fruites s'imposa (70%) enfront de les verdures i plantes aromàtiques (30%). Les futures línies de recerca a Europa haurien de centrar-se en l'anàlisi de la interconnexió bidireccional energètica entre el RTG i l'edifici, aprofundir (proves en laboratori) en la identificació de materials en cobertes usant sensors aerotransportats i analitzar la viabilitat de cobertes multipropósit en parcs industrials. En el cas de ALC, s'ha d'explorar les funcions menys desenvolupades de la UA (econòmica i urbana-política); treballar amb organitzacions comunitàries per a la quantificació del potencial de l'agricultura vertical i desenvolupar una base de dades de la UA en l'habitatge social.
El urbanismo sostenible promueve el desarrollo de estrategias en pro de una sostenibilidad del territorio. Una de estas estrategias es la agricultura urbana (AU). Específicamente, los invernaderos en la azotea (RTGs) permiten el cultivo de alimentos en la ciudad sin comprometer superficie de suelo permeable. Sin embargo, las investigaciones que aborden su comportamiento energético y que brinden herramientas para la cuantificación y análisis de su viabilidad son limitadas. En América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), el estudio de la AU aún se encuentra en una etapa inicial, por lo que es necesario profundizar y promover su estudio. La presente tesis doctoral pretende cubrir estos ámbitos de estudio a través de intentar dar respuesta a las siguientes cuatro preguntas: -Para los países desarrollados (i) ¿En qué medida las herramientas urbanas, arquitectónicas, sociales y sostenibles contribuyen a evaluar el potencial de implementación de la agricultura en azoteas de edificios existentes en ciudades del sur de Europa?, (ii) ¿Puede la integración de un invernadero en la azotea de un edificio, aprovechando su intercambio de flujos térmicos residuales, contribuir tecnológicamente y arquitectónicamente al desarrollo de la agricultura urbana?; -para los países en vías de desarrollo (iii) ¿Cuál es el panorama actual de la agricultura urbana en los países en desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe?, (iv) ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones de la planificación urbana y la vivienda social en la promoción de la agricultura urbana para la sostenibilidad de la ciudad latinoamericana de tamaño mediano? La tesis incluye un marco interdisciplinar de diversas disciplinas. Y en cada línea de investigación estudiada se han utilizado materiales y métodos complementarios para la obtención de datos específicos: sensores aerotransportados, sensores de temperatura y humedad del aire, diversos softwares, revisión documental, entrevistas, grupos de interés, y otras. Los resultados demostraron que un invernadero integrado en la azotea (iRTG) puede proporcionar temperaturas dentro del rango 14-26 °C, las cuales son idóneas para los sistemas cerrados de horticultura en zona mediterránea. Y se puede “reciclar” 341.93 kWh / m2 / año de energía de calefacción del resto del edificio. El uso de los sensores aerotransportados (TASI 600 y Leica ALS50-II) para la identificación de las características básicas de las azoteas para la implementación de invernaderos, es viable y confiable. La herramienta multicriterio para la toma de decisiones para la implementación de RTGs demostró ser viable y objetiva; y el uso de un índice de sostenibilidad global minimiza la subjetividad del proceso y permite seleccionar la alternativa más sostenible. El estudio de la AU en ALC se desarrolla en al menos 14 países, pero el 86% de la investigación se desarrolla en Brasil, Cuba, México, Colombia y Argentina. La AU desarrolla cinco funciones: ecológico-ambiental, social, productiva, urbano-política y económica. Además, es una medida de emergencia frente a los problemas sociales y los peligros naturales; y está vinculada a la vivienda social, y al planeamiento urbano. Los barrios de vivienda social tienen características que los hacen espacios apropiados para el desarrollo de la agricultura vertical. La AU suele desarrollarse de forma tradicional dentro de los límites del predio, a escala pequeña y de forma privada. El cultivo de frutas se impone (70%) frente a las verduras y plantas aromáticas (30%). Futuras investigaciones en Europa deberían centrarse en el análisis de la interconexión bidireccional energética entre el iRTG y el edificio; profundizar (pruebas en laboratorio) en la identificación de materiales en cubiertas usando sensores aerotransportados; analizar la viabilidad de cubiertas multipropósito en parques industriales. En el caso de ALC, se debe explorar las funciones menos desarrolladas de la UA (económica y político-urbana); trabajar con organizaciones comunitarias para la cuantificación el potencial de la agricultura vertical y desarrollar una base de datos de la UA en la vivienda social.
Sustainable urbanism promotes strategies for the sustainability of the territory. One of these strategies is urban agriculture (UA). Specifically, rooftop greenhouses (RTGs) are an alternative that in recent years has had a considerable rise in European compact cities, as they enable the cultivation of food in the city without compromising permeable soil surface. However, research that addresses their energy behavior and provides tools for the quantification and analysis of their viability is limited. In the case of Latin America and the Caribbean, the study of UA is still in an initial stage, so it is necessary to deepen and promote its analysis. In this sense, the present doctoral thesis aims to cover these areas of study and answer the following four questions: -For developed countries (i) To what extent do urban-architectural, social and sustainable tools contribute to assess the potential for implementation of agriculture on roofs of existing buildings in Southern European cities?, (ii) Can the integration of a greenhouse into the rooftop of a building, taking advantage of its exchange of residual thermal flows, contribute technologically and architecturally to the development of urban agriculture? For developing countries (iii) What is the current state of urban agriculture in developing countries in Latin America and the Caribbean? and (iv) What are the implications of urban planning and social housing in the promotion of urban agriculture for the sustainability of the medium-sized Latin American cities? This thesis includes an interdisciplinary framework that combines aspects of various disciplines. In each line of research studied, complementary materials and methods have been used to obtain specific data: TASI-600 and Leica ALS50-II airborne sensors, air humidity and temperature sensors, various software, document review, interviews and focus groups, among others. The results showed that an integrated rooftop greenhouse (iRTG) can provide temperatures within the range of 14-26 °C, which are ideal for closed horticultural systems in the Mediterranean area. Moreover, 341.93 kWh / m2 / year of heating energy can be "recycled" from the rest of the building. The use of airborne sensors (TASI 600 and Leica ALS50-II) for the identification of the basic characteristics of the roofs is viable and reliable. The multicriteria tool for decision making for the implementation of RTGs proved to be viable and objective; and the use of a global sustainability index minimizes the subjectivity of the process and allows selecting the most sustainable alternative. The study of UA in LAC is being developed in at least 14 countries, but 86% of the research is developed in Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. UA develops five functions: ecological-environmental, social, productive, urban-political and economic. In addition, the UA is an emergency measure in the face of social problems and natural hazards. The UA in LAC is linked to social housing and urban planning; and social housing neighborhoods have characteristics that make them suitable spaces for the development of vertical agriculture. The UA is usually developed within the boundaries of private properties on a small scale and privately. Fruit cultivation is imposed (70%) against vegetables and aromatic plants (30%). Future research in Europe should focus on the analysis of the bidirectional energy interconnection between the iRTG and the building; deepening the identification of roof materials using airborne sensors through laboratory tests; analyzing the feasibility of multipurpose covers in industrial parks. In the case of LAC, on exploring the less developed functions of UA (economic and political-urban); working with LAC community organizations to quantify the potential of agriculture on the roof; and developing a database on the current development of UA in social housing.

Abstract:
Small-scale, conservation-based agrarianism provides a model for sustainable human habitation within heterogeneous landscapes. Thoreau's Transcendentalism and the historical roots of American Agrarianism are explored as influences for wilderness preservation and the New Agrarian movement. Idealizing a distant wilderness too often means overlooking the ecological and socio-economic environment where people live. Middle landscapes between nature and culture, or between wilderness and cities, can either increase or reduce ecological and social functioning within the landscape matrix. Managing middle landscapes by agrarian principles helps move both nature and culture towards ecological, economic, and social sustainability. This thesis ends with a discussion of agrarian themes, such as supporting decentralized local economies and increasing community connectivity, applied in urban, rural, and wilderness landscapes.

The term precision agriculture were introduced into scientific literature by Jhon Schueller in the 1991 Meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) in Chicago: “the continuous advantages in automation hardware and software technology have made possible what is variously knows as spatially-variable, or site specific crop production”. The concept of sustainable development was introduced in 1987 in the Bruntland Report and the term “sustainable agriculture” was defined in the 5th European Environmental action programme: Towards sustainability. In Agenda 2000, 5 main objectives founded Common Agricultura Policies toward 2020: competitiveness; food safety and quality; farmers’ wellness and proper income; environmental respect; new jobs opportunities for farmers’ communities

Abstract:
Agricultural sector is different from industrial or service sectors due to its specific functions, i.e. food function, social function, economic situation on country growth function, environmental function. These functions of agricultural sector include three dimensions (economic, social, environmental), which are closely connected with the conception of sustainable development. Therefore, the taxation system of agricultural sector has been orientated to sustainability. The research direction of sustainable taxation is relevant. This research direction leads to opportunities to find the sustainable taxation system effect to the sustainable development of agriculture. The paper aims at disclosing the singularity of sustainable taxation in agriculture. To investigate the theoretical aspect of the specificity of agricultural business in the context of taxation and singularity of sustainable taxation, systemic analysis and synthesis of theoretical insights of foreign and local scientific literature as well as the methods of induction and deduction have been applied. Theoretical research results helped to identify singularity of sustainable taxation in agriculture, which encompasses three dimensions (economic, social, environmental) with different characteristics. This taxation system contributes to the goals of the development of sustainable agriculture.

Abstract:
The rapid development of individual countries often has unprecedented environmental consequences. This is why more and more innovations are being used to ensure, in addition to economic development, the preservation of environmental quality. In addition to transport and industry, agriculture is an important environmental factor. There are many studies in the literature dealing with the relationship between agricultural development and sustainable development, as well as the study of the economic and social role of innovation in this field. The paper aims to examine the relationships between innovation in agriculture and sustainable development, based on extensive scientific literature. The results of the research show that agriculture, such as organic agriculture, is one of the interesting solutions for maintaining the principles of sustainable development. Such an innovation, concerning the mode of production in agriculture, can have many positive benefits for sustainable development from both an economic and environmental point of view.

Abstract:
Agricultural production is currently at a crossroads due to the need to balance the requirements of climate, biodiversity, air quality, and access to food health, farmers' incomes and economic conditions. These demands are often controversial, and the goals of policy makers are contradictory. Sustainability in agriculture needs to be put into practice. The concept of sustainable agriculture is based on agro-ecology and a system approach and aims to promote sustainable, resilient, cost-effective and stable farming systems. Based on the analysis of the scientific literature and the current situation, the paper authors have concluded that a logical path to sustainability is integrated agriculture. It is a whole farm management system that allows farmers to identify opportunities and threats and act accordingly, while also taking into account the interests of consumers in their business. The paper aims to outline the role of integrated agriculture in the development of sustainable agriculture based on the analysis of the relevant scientific literature and the current situation. Integrated management is the knowledge-based management of all available resources integrated farms are able to provide climate benefits, provide more diverse (especially pasture) land management, farm animals have a higher quality of life and survival.

Abstract:
This review synthesises evidence on water in sustainable agriculture standards. Sustainable agricultural standards, hereafter standards, is a broad term encompassing certification schemes, tools, and programmes. The International Trade Centre’s Sustainability Standards Map includes 166 agricultural standards . However, there is a smaller number of prominent standards that are popularly used by major retailers or for particular commodities. Two studies looking at how water is considered in standards selected smaller numbers: Morgan (2017) benchmarks 25 popular use conventional agricultural standards and organic standards, whilst Vos & Boelens (2014) selected eight prominent standards for their analysis. The evidence base for this request was limited. Whilst water is included in individual standards, there is limited research on the efficacy or impact of standards on water issues. This review identified an extremely small number of studies that either assessed or benchmarked standards’ water related requirements or the impacts of certification and water requirements on water resources.

Full text
Abstract:
Like other Small Island Developing States (SIDS), Caribbean island economies have intrinsic characteristics that make them vulnerable to external shocks. The recent pandemic highlights the structural problems of small island economies. Due to their remote location and small size, islands lack economies of scale and rely on global supply chains, which are currently disrupted. Islands depend either on service-based economic activities like tourism, which are being affected during the current crisis, or on a single commodity, which makes them extremely vulnerable. Islands must rethink their approach to development, adopting one of sustainable development. The Sustainable Islands Platform aims to create a new approach that targets the needs of Caribbean islands and prescribes circular economy-inspired interventions in key areas such as sanitation, waste management, agriculture, fisheries, tourism, energy, transportation, and health. Traditional approaches have not proven successful in solving developing problems on SIDS. Therefore, a new concept that considers islands in a new way should be considered.
