“…This is because they are not limited to target pests and can also harm non-target organisms. Of all the resources and inputs used in horticulture, pesticides are considered to pose the greatest direct threat to humans and the environment [43,44]. This is mainly due to the potential impact of the active ingredients, which are derived from mineral sources, particularly metals, such as manganese, zinc, aluminum, and lithium, thus contributing to abiotic depletion.…”

“…The reduction of environmental impacts could be achieved through the application of CPI. Based on an international literature review, environmental management strategies and CPI focusing on good agricultural practices, technical solutions for efficient use of resources and waste management have been identified in the agricultural sector [43,44]. Some of the most important initiatives include the use of biological controls to replace pesticides, the use of organic fertilizers instead of synthetic fertilizers, the best use of natural resources and the valorization of agricultural wastes [43,[45][46][47].…”

In the subregion of La Paz Province in eastern Antioquia, Colombia, hydrangea floriculture has boosted economic and social development, generating high value in the territory; however, there are still environmental gaps to be resolved to make it a sustainable activity. This study analyzed some environmental aspects of cultivation based on life-cycle assessment under ISO 14040/14044 standards. The functional unit defined was 1 kg of hydrangea stems grown on a small farm of 0.45 ha, and the limits selected were gate-to-gate. The environmental impacts were evaluated using the CML methodology, Umberto LCA + 10.0.03 software, and the Ecoinvent 3.8 database. The most significant contributors to these impacts were ozone depletion, terrestrial ecotoxicity, and photochemical oxidant formation, which come from the application and pretreatment of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, plant residue generation, and fossil resource materials, such as polymers and fuels. In addition, two cleaner production initiatives were considered: composting plant residues for fertilizer (the use of 100% and 50% composting) and integrated pest management with biological control and natural agents to reduce pesticide use (30% and 50% of chemical pesticides). And the integration of both actions, with 50% composting and 30% substitution of chemical pesticides, was considered. The environmental impacts were reduced by 19.63% and 9.97%, respectively, for composting, 6.62% and 11.03%, respectively, for biological control, and 16.59% for the integration of actions. The two alternatives allowed for improving the crop, contributing to the minimization of environmental impacts, optimizing the use of inputs and fertilizers, and contributing to the sustainable development of floriculture.

“…According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 69% of the water extracted is used in agriculture, followed by 21% dedicated to industry and 10% used in municipal areas, on the other hand, 93% of water consumption is associated with agricultural activities, followed by 4 and 3% pertaining to water consumption in the industry and in municipal areas, the figures show that between 1000 and 3000 m3 are needed per ton harvested. The excessive use of water can cause great tension in terms of water resources, one of the ways to reduce this impact is by improving the yield in the process of irrigation of crops [22,23]. Through an extended policy analysis matrix, distortions and failures in the environmental market were evaluated, as well as the effects of the economic intervention in Zacatecas bean production systems, showing as a result that agriculture consumes 77% of the available groundwater associated with unsustainable technologies in the irrigation process.…”

The increasing trend of consumption and consequent food production has induced to the implementation of different agricultural technologies, to improve yields on land for cultivation and livestock, and food processing has implemented improvements to optimize its processes. Parallel to these improvements, environmental impacts are generated during each stage of production, from the farm to the final product. In this review were identified principal aspect and environmental impacts associated to agriculture, livestock and dairy product activities. Mismanagement of soils, herbicides and insecticide applications and liquid effluents due to milk processing, are the main factors that affect environmental causing greenhouse gases, Poisoning of beneficial insects and contamination of clean water and rivers.

Purpose. The development of general-scale diagnoses is one of the main reasons why policies, lines of action, and strategies do not adequately respond to the dynamics and needs of rural territories. Consequently, there is a recognition of the need to select rural spaces that require a territorial diagnosis due to their particular characteristics and unfavorable conditions toward balanced development. Method. We design four phases in the rural space selection method. In the first phase, of the method’s development, we identify the formation of Technical Working Table(s) as a key factor. The second phase involves a systematic literature review from local sources, tailored to the application context. In the third phase, variables measuring rural space selection are identified and validated, determining the rural zones of interest. Finally, in the fourth phase, two mathematical techniques, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted ratings, are proposed. These techniques enable quantification of options and provide information to facilitate the decision-making process for selecting rural spaces. Results. The first phase involves the formation of the Technical Working Table (TWT), identified as a key factor in the design and operation of the proposed research method. The Technical Working Table (TWT) comprises nine institutional actors committed to regional development, who participated in both the design and implementation of the proposed methodology. Similarly, in the phase of systematic literature review, 43 articles are selected, identifying 21, 18, and 26 variables of major significance in the ecological, social, and economic dimensions of the study area. Subsequently, in the third phase, collaboration with the TWT is employed to validate and select the nine variables constituting the criteria for rural space selection. In the final phase, results from applying the two mathematical techniques quantifying the rural space selection are obtained. Conclusions. The rural space selection method enhances the development of specific territorial diagnoses, given the unique characteristics and dynamics of the study area.
