Impact of food consumption on water footprint and food security in Tunisia
Food loss and waste (FLW) reduce food available for consumption and increase the environmental burden of production. Reducing FLW increases agricultural and value-chain productivity and may reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with feeding the global population. Although studies of interven...

Soils are a very important component of the global carbon cycle as they contain the largest sink of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere. At the same time, soil organic carbon (SOC) is the basis for soil fertility and the production of food to feed the growing global population. Healthy soils are ...
