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 SustainabilityEnvironmental science, engineering and technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscagricultural residues exploitationbioeconomybioenergybiomassbiopreservativesbiorefineryby-productcastor oilchaffcombine harvesterconsumers' attitudeCynara rootsdecayecoefficiencyenvironmentalessential oilfermentable sugarsflexible water storage systemfood wasteharvestingharvesting costsharvesting efficiencyheader impactimpactslife cycle assessmentlife cycle assessment (LCA)life cycle costinglife cycle costing (LCC)lossesmarginal landsmultipurpose cropnutritionorganic foodspackhousephysicochemical propertiespomegranatepondpostharvestpostharvest lossesresidue managementresourcesRicinus communis, L.run-offseed lossshelf lifeshelf-lifeSO2 damagesocioeconomic impactsstem browningstrawtable grapewheat headerwillingness to paywork productivityEnvironmental science, engineering and technologyTechnology: general issuesPalmieri NadiaSuardi AlessandroBOOK9910637781303321Agricultural and Food Systems Sustainability3028759UNINA
