The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Goal 12—“Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”) calls for renewed efforts to reduce food losses along production and supply chains. Achieving this goal will require greater efforts globally to implement food loss reduction policies and interventions. In addition, the sustainable management and use of byproducts from agriculture, including agricultural residues, has been analyzed. Special attention is given to pre- and post-harvesting losses of agricultural products, including the assessment of their environmental and economic sustainability.Agricultural and Food Systems SustainabilityTechnologyEngineeringEnvironmental sciencebiomassbioenergystrawcombine harvesterchaffby-productbioeconomylife cycle assessmentlife cycle costingRicinus communis, L.castor oilharvestingresidue managementbiopreservativesshelf lifeessential oilorganic foodsconsumers’ attitudewillingness to paywork productivityharvesting costsharvesting efficiencywheat headerseed lossheader impactecoefficiencylife cycle assessment (LCA)life cycle costing (LCC)run-offpondflexible water storage systemCynara rootsbiorefinerymarginal landsmultipurpose cropfermentable sugarsagricultural residues exploitationpostharvest lossesfood wastephysicochemical propertiestable grapeshelf-lifedecaystem browningSO2 damagesocioeconomic impactspomegranatelossesnutritionenvironmentalresourcespackhousepostharvestimpactsTechnology.Engineering.Environmental science.Palmieri NadiaSuardi AlessandroBOOK9910637781303321Agricultural and Food Systems Sustainability3028759UNINA
