Trends in scientific literature on the environmental sustainability of the artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. spp.) supply chain

Abstract: PurposeThe research provides a systematic literature review on the environmental sustainability of the globe artichoke [Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus (L.) Fiori], in the cultivated cardoon [Cynara cardunculus L. var. altilis DC.] and in the wild cardoon [Cynara cardunculus L. var. sylvestris (Lamk)] supply chains, to fill in the literature data gaps and to identify new research directions.Design/methodology/approachIn the light of the PRISMA standard guidelines, the research provides a systematic literat… Show more

“…In addition, the guest editors have synthesized the contributions according to a co-word analysis (Rana et al ., 2023), which investigates the co-occurrences of keywords and identified the relationships and interactions among different subject areas, by using the VOSviewer software. Considering that the unit of analysis has been the variable “keyword”, the minimum number of keywords occurrence has been two times.…”

“…Its global production amounts about to 1500 Kt and the edible parts consist only of heads (flowers) and, partially, stems, generating a large amount of by-product (80-85% of fresh weight material), mainly composed of external bracts and stems, but also residual leaves, stalks, roots, and, to a lesser extent, seeds. Italy, Spain, and France are the main globe artichoke producers; Italy is currently the leader not only in the production of globe artichoke (390 Kt, corresponding to 26% of the world production), but also in the recovery and valorization of its by-products [1][2][3]. FAO estimated that, annually, 1.3 Bmt of edible food is lost or wasted, with a production of around 190,000 Kt of byproducts (leaves, seeds, brans, pomaces, meals, cakes, and raw materials) and, accordingly, a great impact on worldwide cost ($750 B/year) [1,4].…”

“…In fact, nowadays, the environmental and economic impact of food-waste disposal represents an ever-growing issue and, for this reason, the United Nations is continuing to encourage the recovery policies and circulareconomy plans for waste reduction and re-use, to guarantee food security and protect human health and the environment by decreasing air, water, and soil pollution [4][5][6][7][8]. The actual trend of circular economy is based on the production of bioenergy, biocomposite material, or bioactive compounds, and the search for efficient and environmentally friendly methodologies with sustainable procedures and competitive costs in comparison to those incurred for food-waste disposal [2,6]. C. cardunculus L. is widely cultivated for its large immature inflorescences (30-40% of fresh weight material), also named capitula or heads, which represent the edible parts together with small stems and fleshy bracts.…”

“…Even though neither offer the holistic and integrative model required to overcome current environmental issues, they are still recognized as sustainable alternatives [ 14 ]. Indeed, waste-to-bioproducts has become a trend in agricultural production [ 15 ], since properly managed waste biomass may trigger the development of new value chains characterized as more profitable and sustainable which, ultimately, may ameliorate the survival of natural ecosystems [ 13 ].…”
