“…Based on the above research conclusions, this paper puts forward the following policy recommendations: (1) Agricultural grey water in different provinces varies greatly; therefore, agricultural water management policies should be formulated according to local conditions, rational allocation of resources and coordinated regional development. (2) It is also vital to constantly improve various infrastructure, accelerate the diversified development of the agricultural economy, cultivate and expand characteristic industries and achieve sustained progress in the agricultural economy. (3) Finally, policymakers should strengthen the protection and scientific and rational use of water resources, further promote the application of water-saving technologies, accelerate the development of green agricultural technologies, consolidate and improve coordination between the agricultural economy and agricultural water use, and achieve the high-quality development of green agriculture.…”

“…Still, the growth rate of the AGWF was significantly slower than that of AGDP, indicating that the control of agricultural grey water footprint in the YRB was relaxed. (2) The decoupling state between the AGWFI and AGDP showed END in 2017-2019, but the value of 2018-2019 was much lower than that of 2017-2018, indicating that although both were in the END state, the END state gradually decreased with the increase in time. Although the AGWFI increased with the increase in AGDP, and the growth rate of the AGWFI was much higher than that of AGDP, the growth rate of the AGWFI slowed down, indicating that the agricultural water use efficiency in the YRB was not greatly improved, but decision-makers have paid the issue of improving agricultural water use efficiency attention.…”

“…The key contributions of our research include the following points: (1) The AGWF in the YRB during 2016-2021 was accurately estimated via crop farming and animal husbandry, and the trend of the AGWF was evaluated as a whole. (2) The LMDI model was adopted to quantitatively decompose and analyze the driving factors of the AGWF. (3) The TDM was introduced to dissect the decoupling state between the AGWF and AGDP in the YRB, and the decoupling relationship between AGWF driving factors and AGDP was discussed.…”

Decoupling agricultural economic growth from agricultural water pollution is of great importance to regional sustainable development. It is necessary to further explore the decoupling state and key driving factors connecting agricultural water pollution and agricultural economic growth on the basis of accurate measurement of agricultural water pollution. Accordingly, taking the Yellow River Basin (YRB) as the research object, this study combined the water footprint theory, the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) model and the Tapio decoupling model (TDM) to conduct an in-depth decoupling analysis of the connection between the agricultural grey water footprint (AGWF) and agricultural economic growth in the YRB. Specifically, this study first calculated the AGWF of the YRB during 2016–2021 and objectively evaluated the water resource utilization in this region based on the AGWF. Then, the LMDI model was used to explore the driving factors of the AGWF in the YRB. Finally, the decoupling states between the AGWF and its driving factors with agricultural GDP (AGDP) were studied using the TDM. The main results are as follows: (1) The overall AGWF in the YRB showed a decreasing trend and a slow increase, decreasing by 5.39% in 2021 compared to 2016. (2) The primary promoting factor and inhibiting factor of AGWF reduction are the efficiency effect and agricultural economic effect, respectively. (3) The decoupling states of the AGWF and AGDP presented strong decoupling (SD) and then weak decoupling (WD) in the YRB during the research period. The decoupling states between the agricultural grey water footprint intensity (AGWFI) and AGDP changed from expansive negative decoupling (END) to SD. The decoupling state of population and AGDP remained SD. This study will contribute to alleviating agricultural water pollution in the YRB and help policymakers in water-stressed countries to formulate agricultural water management policies.

“…Kiwifruit thrives in sub-temperate to sub-tropical climates. Ozturk et al [82] estimated the water footprint of kiwifruit in the areas transferred from hazelnut to kiwi and concluded that kiwi cultivation might be advantageous economically, but this economic benefit might be an ecological disadvantage as kiwi production is highly dependent on limited blue water resources. The cultivation of kiwifruit is increasing in India, Nepal, and Portugal [10,[83][84][85].…”

Climate variability affects the phenological, physiological, and morphological adaptability of Kiwifruit. Hence, five Kiwifruit varieties were evaluated under variable rainfed climatic conditions in Pothowar. Phenological data of all five varieties was observed at both study sites, including bud initiation, bud swelling, and bud burst. Goldflesh (GDF) and Green Flesh 1 (GF1) were observed to be late in bud burst and to have poor physio-morphological responses and plant survival rates. In contrast, Hayward (H), Bruno (B), and Greenflesh 2 (GF2) exhibited superior performance in terms of plant physiological and morphological traits (e.g., heat damage percentage, photosynthetic activity, shoot length, t runk diameter, d isease incidence percentage, and survival rate). Greenflesh 2 (GF2) plants at both study locations exhibited a lower percentage of heat damage (4.25 and 5.83) than

Riceberry rice has a special characteristic of being specially bred with high nutrients. High-value added products from riceberry are being promoted targeting health-conscious consumers. To provide supporting information for sustainable food systems, environmental footprinting was applied for evaluating the environmental performance of a ready-to-eat product of riceberry rice mixed with kidney red bean called “Riceberry + KU”, developed by Kasetsart University in Thailand. Based on sold unit as the unit of analysis, the carbon footprint of Riceberry + KU was 5.24 gCO2e per 300 g. Interestingly, white rice had the highest carbon footprint and riceberry rice as well as the riceberry product had at least 30% lower values. However, using nutrient-based scores, although white rice still had the highest carbon footprint, Riceberry + KU had 80% lower and the riceberry rice had 65% lower values. This resulted from the highest nutritional levels found in Riceberry + KU along with the lower greenhouse gas emissions from riceberry field during the cultivation stage. Similar trends were found in the other impact categories assessed by using life cycle assessment as well. To provide appropriate information to consumers for making more sustainable food choices, the environmental performance based on nutrient quality resulting from different farming systems and processing methods should be used to derive recommendations for moving toward sustainable food systems. The nutrition-environment nexus assessment could be very useful for supporting consumers toward making more sustainable food choices.
