Farming systems mostly relying on ecological processes and the reduced application of external inputs (fertilizers and pesticides), such as organic farming and integrated farming, can even contribute to the mitigation of global warming and of the desertification of soils. Conservation agriculture (CA) is also widely recognized as a farming system able to preserve soils from erosion and nutrient loss, increase soil organic matter and carbon sink capacity, and improve biological and physical fertility. Nevertheless, CA systems generally rely on the large use of agrochemicals (above all, herbicides and fertilizers) in order to sustain crop production, with negative consequences in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact. This also does not enable an easy transfer of CA techniques into organic and integrated farming systems, a combination that might enhance the environmental benefits of these farming systems. In this regard, this Special Issue deals with the "Smart Management of Conservative, Organic, and Integrated Agriculture". We invited experts and researchers to contribute with original researches, reviews, and opinion pieces covering all topics related to organic, integrated, and conservative farming systems. The published articles concern with the most important aspects of these innovative systems, such as performances of farm machinery and agro-ecological strategies aiming at sustaining crop production whilst reducing the need for agrochemicals. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology, engineering, agriculture$2bicssc 610 $abiodegradable mulch 610 $abiodegradable plastic mulch 610 $acabbage 610 $acarbon dioxide 610 $acereal grain cover crop 610 $acinnamon oil 610 $aclimate change mitigation 610 $aclove oil 610 $aconservation agriculture 610 $acover crop termination 610 $acover crops 610 $acultivation systems 610 $adead mulch 610 $aecological intensification 610 $aeconomic evaluation 610 $afennel 610 $aGliricidia sepium 610 $agrapevine 610 $agreen manure 610 $aintercropping 610 $aleguminous plants 610 $alettuce 610 $aLeucaena leucocephala 610 $aliving mulch 610 $aMediterranean climate 610 $amethane 610 $amineral fertilization 610 $aminimum tillage 610 $amulch 610 $amulch-based system 610 $aN leaching 610 $anitrous oxide 610 $ano-chemical 610 $ano-till 610 $ano-till organic system 610 $ano-tillage 610 $aorganic agriculture 610 $aorganic farming 610 $aorganic fertilizers 610 $aorganic herbicides 610 $apolyethylene 610 $aroller-crimper 610 $aroller/crimper 610 $asucker removal 610 $asustainable agriculture 610 $athermal 610 $atomato 610 $aVitis vinifera (L.) 610 $awaste management 610 $aweed dynamic 610 $aweed management 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology, engineering, agriculture 700 $aPeruzzi$b Andrea$4edt$078384 702 $aFrasconi$b Christian$4edt 702 $aAntichi$b Daniele$4edt 702 $aPeruzzi$b Andrea$4oth 702 $aFrasconi$b Christian$4oth 702 $aAntichi$b Daniele$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557668503321 996 $aSmart Management of Conservative, Organic and Integrated Agriculture$93035744 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03714nam 2201093z- 450 001 9910557355203321 005 20220111 035 $a(CKB)5400000000042337 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/76709 035 $a(oapen)doab76709 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000042337 100 $a20202201d2021 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aWaste Management Practices in Developing Countries 210 $aBasel, Switzerland$cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2021 215 $a1 online resource (230 p.) 311 08$a3-0365-0592-X 311 08$a3-0365-0593-8 330 $aThis book provides insights into waste management practices in developing countries, and the application of research and innovation in finding appropriate solutions to improved waste management. The chapters have been selected with a focus on organic waste beneficiation, a significant waste stream in developing countries; the role of government and associated policy interventions; citizen behaviour in support of greater waste recycling; and the safe management of hazardous waste, particularly healthcare risk waste. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aagricultural waste 610 $aAHP 610 $aash 610 $abarriers 610 $abiodegradable waste 610 $abiogas generation 610 $abiohazardous waste 610 $abottom ash 610 $aBrazil 610 $abriquettes 610 $acarbon footprint 610 $acassava waste 610 $adecision support system 610 $adeveloping countries 610 $adeveloping country 610 $adisinfection 610 $aempirical study 610 $aenvironmental education 610 $aenvironmental pollution 610 $ahazardous waste 610 $ahealth sector 610 $ahealthcare waste 610 $ahealthcare workers 610 $aheavy metals 610 $ahousehold recycling behavior 610 $ainactivation 610 $aIndia 610 $aintentions 610 $akinetic release 610 $amarket waste 610 $amicrowave 610 $amulti criteria decision analysis (MCDA), organic waste treatment 610 $amunicipal solid waste 610 $anational solid waste policy 610 $anitrogen-phosphorus-potassium 610 $apotential mobility 610 $apublic-private partnership 610 $aquantitative survey 610 $areasons 610 $arecyclable waste pickers 610 $arecycling 610 $arecycling behavior 610 $arecycling cooperatives 610 $areuse 610 $areverse logistics 610 $ascenario ranking 610 $aschool 610 $ascoping review 610 $aselective collection 610 $asludge 610 $asolid waste management 610 $aSouth Africa 610 $aStructural Equation Modeling (SEM) 610 $asustainability assessment 610 $asustainable technology 610 $aTheory of Planned Behavior (TPB) 610 $atheory of planned behaviour 610 $atrace elements 610 $aused cooking oil 610 $awaste management 610 $awaste to wealth 610 $aWHO 610 $ayouth 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aGodfrey$b Linda$4edt$01289226 702 $aGodfrey$b Linda$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557355203321 996 $aWaste Management Practices in Developing Countries$93021110 997 $aUNINA
