“…The first and most important rule forbids the use of chemical fertilizers and artificial pesticides. Integrated pest management, better known as IPM in fruit production, is a trend to reduce the levels of agricultural chemistries to protect consumer health and the natural environment [32,33]. Many experiments conducted to compare organic and conventional farming practices have shown that organic fruits are richer in biologically active compounds [13], [34,35].…”

Fruit allergies are a large problem today. Many consumers suffer from food allergies or intolerances. The method of food production has a major impact on its quality. In fruit and vegetable production, three different farming systems are mainly found: conventional, integrated pest management and organic production. The latter is considered the best in terms of fruits and vegetables safety and high quality. The present experiment was performed to demonstrate the effect of the strawberry production method on its allergenic properties and flavonoid content. The strawberry ‘Honeoye’ cv. was used for the study. Fruits from the three cultivation systems, organic, conventional and integrated, were tested for their content of biologically active compounds and their potential allergenicity. The results obtained indicate that the strawberries from the organic system were the safest because they contained the lowest levels of Bet v1 and profilin in comparison with the fruits from the integrated and conventional systems.

“…Also, the selection of species for domestication is considered an interesting opportunity area for the use of MCDA methods (Tonissi Moroni et al, 2015;Vergara-Solana et al, 2018). DEXi is a widely used MCDM in the agricultural field for assessing environmental, economic and social sustainability of production systems (Bergez, 2013;Gendron et al, 2017;Hawes et al, 2019;Iocola et al, 2018;Karleuša et al, 2019;Montemurro et al, 2018;Rezaei et al, 2018). To our knowledge, there are no available applications of the DEXi method in relation to IMTA and Ap, so far.Aims…”

“…Se puede adaptar a la realidad de cualquier sistema agrícola, al ser un instrumento holístico (FAO, 2013). SAFA se ha utilizado en pocas publicaciones relacionadas con actividades agrícolas como fresa, ganado, café y banano (Bonisoli et al, 2019;Gayatri et al, 2016;Gendron et al, 2017;Sánchez y Moya 2018). En la presente investigación, el objetivo fue evaluar indicadores de sostenibilidad adaptados a la realidad de sistemas productivos tradicionales y sistemas convencionales de pequeñas unidades productoras de plátano en el Caribe Sur de Costa Rica, mediante la herramienta SAFA de FAO.…”

[Introducción]: Los plátanos por sus valores nutritivos se ubican entre los principales alimentos producidos a nivel mundial. Crece en los trópicos y son cultivados por pequeños agricultores que lo usan para economía de subsistencia y consumo. En Costa Rica, las plantaciones de plátano se ubican en diferentes sectores del país, una de las regiones más importantes es la región Huetar Atlántica (RHA). [Objetivo]: Se evaluaron indicadores de sostenibilidad adaptados a la realidad de sistemas productivos tradicionales y sistemas convencionales de pequeños productores de plátano en el Caribe Sur de Costa Rica, mediante la herramienta Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture (SAFA) de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO, por sus siglas en inglés). [Metodología]: Esta investigación se desarrolló en el Caribe Sur de Costa Rica, distritos de Bratsi y Sixaola, pertenecientes al cantón de Talamanca. Esta región cuenta con una precipitación de 2387 mm anuales y una temperatura promedio de 26.5 °C. Se estudiaron dos sistemas productivos tradicionales y dos convencionales, con una extensión de 2 500 m2, cada uno. Se aplicó SAFA, herramienta holística para medir sostenibilidad en sistemas de producción agrícolas mediante 41 indicadores de integridad ambiental, resiliencia económica y bienestar social. [Resultados]: La integridad ambiental reflejó puntajes entre 42 y 87 %. Resiliencia económica, 78 y 96 % y bienestar social 81 a 96 %. [Conclusiones]: La evaluación de la sostenibilidad evidenció que los sistemas tradicionales tuvieron mejor puntaje que los convencionales.
