“…The authors address the efficiency calculation moving towards a more comprehensive concept accounting for the initial energy content of OFMSW and its final use. Nevertheless recycling could be the foreseeable solution, and the anaerobic digestion fared well environmentally [12,13]. In Figure 1, the distribution of MW sources for anaerobic digestion is shown.…”

Abstract:Urban waste management is one of the most challenging issues in energy planning of medium and large cities. In addition to the traditional landfill method, many studies are investigating energy harvesting from waste, not as a panacea but as a foreseeable solution. Thermo-chemical conversion to biogas, or even bio-methane under certain conditions, could be an option to address this challenge. This study focuses on municipal solid waste conversion to biogas as a local energy supply for the cities. Three urban models and their subdivision into urban areas were identified along with a typical Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) matrix for each urban area. Then, an energy analysis was carried out to provide an optimization map for an informed choice by urban policy-makers and stakeholders. The results highlighted how the urban context and its use could affect the opportunity to produce energy from waste or to convert it in fuel. So, in this case, sustainability means waste turning from a problem to a renewable resource.

“…Environmental sustainability is related to the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of natural resources (water, soil, and forests), biodiversity (species and habitat), and landscapes (Passeri et al., 2016). Yurimaguas registered a loss of forest cover of approximately 25 thousand hectares in the last 15 years.…”

“…Requirements for sustainable agriculture are not only defined on the national level but are also integrated on a long-term basis into the Common Agricultural Policy's (CAP) approach, which blends together production and agro-environmental perspectives (EC 2006;Passeri et al 2016), given how crucial social and economic sustainability is to agricultural activities (Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture 2016).…”

This paper describes a methodology for assessing farms that considers the multi-functionality derived from the requirements and expectations of the agricultural sector. To this end an original, multicriteria method was developed for assessing farms based on their individual data. Five dimensions were assessed (production, economic, financial stability, environmental, social & other), representing the most important aspects of farming. The overall assessment based on these five dimensions aims to express the total sustainability rate of the farms. The methodology used to develop this assessment is described. The results of the assessment for 2016 are presented and classified according to various factors and are linked to other important indicators. The data used is from the Farm Accountancy Data Network database in the Czech Republic.
