“…The main sources of GHGs are CO 2 (74%), CH 4 (17%), and N 2 O (9%) (Figure 3; [60]). Recent studies have focused on aspects of the GHG balance, including urban balances [61,62]; climate-smart management to reduce GHGs from agricultural production [63], transportation and energy [64,65]; and GHG reduction strategies for various regions around the world [57,66,67]. Global warming results from the accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere.…”

Increased heat stress is a common feature of global climate change and can cause adverse impacts on crops from germination through maturation and harvest. This review focuses on the impacts of extreme heat (>35 °C) on plants and their physiology and how they affect food and water security. The emphasis is on what can be done to minimize the negative effects of heat stress, which includes the application of various materials and approaches. Nano-farming is highlighted as one promising approach. Heat is often combined with drought, salinity, and other stresses, which together affect the whole agroecosystem, including soil, plants, water, and farm animals, leading to serious implications for food and water resources. Indeed, there is no single remedy or approach that can overcome such grand issues. However, nano-farming can be part of an adaptation strategy. More studies are needed to verify the potential benefits of nanomaterials but also to investigate any negative side-effects, particularly under the intensive application of nanomaterials, and what problems this might create, including potential nanotoxicity.

“…Livestock, particularly ruminants, significantly contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change through manure management and the release of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide through enteric fermentation [12][13][14][15][16][17]. The consequences of increasing emissions include a heightened greenhouse effect and global warming, which necessitates appropriate mitigation strategies to limit temperature rise [14,18].…”

Uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis are essential for improving the modeling and estimation of greenhouse gas emissions in livestock farming to evaluate and reduce the impact of uncertainty in input parameters to model output. The present study is a comprehensive review of the sources of uncertainty and techniques used in uncertainty analysis, quantification, and sensitivity analysis. The search process involved rigorous selection criteria and articles retrieved from the Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases and exported to RAYYAN for further screening. This review found that identifying the sources of uncertainty, implementing quantifying uncertainty, and analyzing sensitivity are of utmost importance in accurately estimating greenhouse gas emissions. This study proposes the development of an EcoPrecision framework for enhanced precision livestock farming, and estimation of emissions, to address the uncertainties in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change mitigation.

“…In the scientific community, there is widespread recognition that the significant increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations, resulting from extensive fossil fuel usage in recent decades, has led to substantial changes in the global climate system [1,2]. Additionally, concerns about the sustainability of energy sources, specifically the future availability of non-renewable fossil fuels, have given rise to significant public apprehension.…”

In Greece, agricultural residues form a significant part of available biomass resources. This study focuses on exploring energy production potential from olive tree pruning and kernels via anaerobic digestion in the Achaia region of Western Greece. It aims to address environmental challenges by analyzing anaerobic digestion of these residues. The study evaluates qualitative and quantitative attributes, including composition analysis and energy content assessment. Detailed design considerations for an anaerobic digestion system tailored for these residues are presented, laying the groundwork for practical implementation. By integrating scientific analysis with engineering principles, this research aims to optimize anaerobic digestion systems for a more sustainable agricultural landscape in Greece.
