“…packing, processing) are generally overlooked. Regarding production, the selected documents focus, among others, on water resources management and irrigation (Ameur et al, 2013;Difallah et al, 2017;Ghareeb and Seif, 2020;Jovanovic et al, 2020;Kuper et al, 2009;Le and Dhehibi, 2019;Naouri et al, 2020;Narvarte et al, 2018;Salhi et al, 2012) and pest management (Bouissil et al, 2020). Some articles take a more holistic approach and deal with different types of innovative practices.…”

“…Similarly, there is more recourse to renewable energy sources at the farm level, such as using photovoltaics in large power irrigation systems (Narvarte et al, 2018) to adapt agriculture to climate change. In the category of organizational innovations, all decision support systems and modeling tools such as those that help in water management can also be enumerated (Difallah et al, 2017;Ghareeb and Seif, 2020;Jovanovic et al, 2020;Kuper et al, 2009). Only a few articles refer explicitly to marketing innovations (Bouzid et al, 2020;Callieris et al, 2016).…”

“…First, innovation is presented as a tool to address many sustainability challenges. These challenges relate to environmental issues such as the scarcity of water resources (Ameur et al, 2013;Difallah et al, 2017;Ghareeb and Seif, 2020;Jovanovic et al, 2020;Kuper et al, 2009;Le and Dhehibi, 2019;Naouri et al, 2020;Narvarte et al, 2018;Salhi et al, 2012), waste (Badaoui et al, 2019;Khaled and Segni, 2016;Lin et al, 2013;Souli et al, 2020), agro-ecosystem disturbance and biodiversity loss (Ameur et al, 2020) or land degradation (King, 2008;Labbaci et al, 2015;Singh, 2018); social issues such as migration (Daoudi and Lejars, 2016;Naouri et al, 2015); or economic issues such as the improvement of the competitiveness and marketing of agri-food products (Callieris et al, 2016). For instance, Ameur et al (2020) point out that irrigated agriculture in North Africa is subject to multiple threats (e.g.…”
