Laranjo, Marta; Alexandre, Ana; Medronho, Bruno; Eufrázio, Sofia; Marques, Cláudia; Pinto Correia, TeresaDear participants, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the VIII PhD Students Meeting in Environment and Agriculture, held in Évora on the 11th and 12th of December 2023. We have put together a two-day program with the aim of encouraging scientific discussion. This Meeting represents an excellent opportunity for young researchers to exchange ideas and to explore new challenges in research regarding Enviro...
Disentangling the diversity of small farm business models in Euro-Mediterranean...
Prosperi, Paolo; Galli, Francesa; Moreno Perez, Olga; Chiffoleau, Yuna; Grando, Stephano; Karanikolas, P; Rivera, Maria; Goussios, GWith growing concern for the unsustainability of food systems, the international research community has turned its attention to small farms as key actors to potentially face the global food crisis. This study aims to support a policy design that values the diversity of small farms business models vis-à-vis environmental, economic, social and institutional challenges affecting European farming systems. Building ...
To what extent are small farms contributing to the food and nutrition security ...
Rivera, Maria; Pinto Correia, Teresa; Guarina, A; Hernandez, PaolaSmall-scale farming is crucial for producing food and for sustaining the livelihoods of millions of people around the world, particularly in developing countries. But small farms are also very common across Europe, where they are neither anomalous nor irrelevant. Across regions from the Scottish Highlands to the Greek Islands, small farms are a dynamic part of the food system, providing employment, opportunitie...
STRATEGIES TO SCALE INNOVATIONS IN THE AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY SECTORS
Rivera, Maria; Muñoz Rojas, José; Pinto Correia, TeresaThis paper critically examines the growth phase of co-innovation processes in the agriculture and forestry sectors, whereby the innovation and knowledge that result from co-creation are embedded and disseminated out-with a partnership, in order to achieve greater impact and transformation. To implement this effectively, planning and involving the right people and institutions from the beginning of the process a...
Small farms as potential intervention points to improve the sustainability of f...
Rivera, Maria; Pinto Correia, Teresa; Guarin, Alejandro; Hernandez, PaolaAdoption of a systemic approach to understanding food issues is imperative if we are committed to achieve the goals set in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This is because the processes affecting food define the linkages between people, prosperity and planet. Food systems’ development depends on natural resources, and paradoxically, food systems are currently also responsible for their depletion and...
Stakeholder engagement for knowledge sharing across networks and beyond the pro...
Rivera, Maria; Muñoz Rojas, José; Pinto Correia, TeresaCalls for innovation have become increasingly frequent as people begin to recognize the need for change and transformation in the way human beings relate to each other and to the environment and the dramatic effects of climate change and environmental degradation, which is causing disasters in agriculture and human health, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, innovation, particularly in agriculture...
EVALUACIÓN DE LA EROSIÓN EDÁFICA EN PAISAJES MEDITERRÁNEOS DE OLIVAR BAJO DIFER...
Prats Alegre, Sergio; Rodríguez Sousa, Antoniio; Correia Sánchez, Ana Rita; Brigido, Clarisse; Pinto Correia, Teresa; Muñoz-Rojas, JoséLos países de la cuenca Mediterránea producen casi el 70% del aceite de oliva mundial. Debido al incremento de la demanda de aceite, los olivares están sufriendo una rápida expansión e intensificación, con incrementos del uso de herbicidas químicos, laboreo, ferti-rega, y densidades de plantación. Este proceso es evidente en el Alentejo Portugués, conllevando impactos que amenazan su sostenibilidad (i.e. erosió...

How do small farms contribute to food and nutrition security? Linking European ...
Galli, Francesca; Grando, Stephano; Adamsone, Anda; Bjorkhaug, Hilde; Czekaj, Marta; Duckett, Dominic; Almaas, Henrik; Karanikolas, PavlosDespite a longstanding literature on small farm-households, there is limited consideration of small farms’ role in food and nutrition security (FNS) at territorial level. The purpose of this study is to provide insights about how small farms contribute to FNS at different territorial scales, by focusing on farmers' strategies and consequential FNS outcomes. Analysis is based on two years (2017–2019) of field wo...
