Imagining circular economy transitions in Mediterranean intensive agriculture: Expert priorities and reformist pathways in southeastern Spain
The transition toward circular economy (CE) models is increasingly presented as a pathway to greater sustainability in agri-food systems. However, the extent to which CE can foster deeper transformations in intensive farming regions remains a matter of debate. This article examines how circular transition is imagined and prioritized in Mediterranean protected agriculture, using southeastern Spain as a case study. To this end, a two-round Delphi p…
Labour regimes and farm diversity in greenhouse farming systems: Evidence from Mediterranean Europe
Almería, in south-eastern Spain, is one of the most intensive greenhouse horticultural systems in the Mediterranean. Its production model is highly labour-demanding, strongly dependent on migrant workers, and characterized by marked differences among farms. This article analyses how labour regimes vary across greenhouse farms and how these differences are associated with farm structure, technological development, workforce composition, contractua…
Economic Drivers of Food Security in Latin America: A Composite Indicator Analysis
This study explores agrifood security in Latin America and the Caribbean using a composite indicator based on FAO data from 2002 to 2022. Regression and cluster analyses were used to identify influential variables and regional patterns. The results reveal significant variability between countries, with Puerto Rico leading and Haiti trailing. Notably, only Venezuela recorded a decline in the value of the composite indicator during the period studi…

The results reveal overall improvements in the implementation of the CE in the period of 2012–2021, although there are significant variations between member countries. Germany is the current leader regarding the use of CE practices, fol…
Intellectual and cognitive structures of the agricultural competitiveness research under climate change and structural transformation
Research background: Although agricultural competitiveness is not a new topic, it is worth noting that it has recently come back to the attention of researchers due to various factors such as climate change, food security, price uncertainty, or structural transformation. Consequently, a growing number of articles have emerged on this subject, leading to shifts in overarching research trends and the structure of research within this domain. Purpos…
Are there any differences in the corporate social responsibility strategy of fruit and vegetable production‐commercialization cooperatives and other companies operating in southeastern Spain
Customers, civil organizations, the media, and society demand that companies behave in ways beyond regulatory requirements concerning social and environmental issues. Therefore, companies are striving to adapt to these new requirements and to express their commitment to stakeholders through their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. The values and principles of cooperatives make them ideal for responsible business management within the…
Impact of environmental policies on the profitability of greenhouse agriculture in southeastern Spain
Sustainable development has become an essential criterion for structural policies of the European Union, and these policies have extended its environmental dimensions. The EU has decided that circular economy will be framed within the principles of sustainable development. Thus, the changes brought forth will affect activities like agriculture, where environmental policy can undermine the stability of agricultural systems by reducing their profit…
Strategic evaluation of the sustainability of the Spanish primary sector within the framework of the circular economy
Food security depends on the implementation of sustainable development in agri‐food. It is essential to determine the sustainability of the main production systems in order to establish specific measures for each territory, by virtue of correcting their negative externalities and improving the commitment of stakeholders. Therefore, this article assessed the economic, social, environmental and global sustainability of the Spanish primary sector ba…
Sustainable Business Model in the Product-Service System: Analysis of Global Research and Associated EU Legislation
The business fabric is trying to resolve the many transformations that have occurred in recent decades. Companies are obliged to offer new ways to meet the needs of the market. This situation has led to the creation of new business models that combine both competitiveness and sustainability. Among the most consistent strategies, the product-service system (PSS) stands out. A bibliometric analysis was carried out on 1088 documents during the perio…
Effect of Repeated Plant Debris Reutilization as Organic Amendment on Greenhouse Soil Fertility
Greenhouse agriculture typically generates large amounts of waste with plant residue (agricultural biomass) being the most abundant. This residue is generated on a seasonal basis, which complicates the external management of the material. Recently, the European Union (EU) has been implementing a policy based on sustainability through the circular economy that seeks to minimize waste generation. The effect of reusing 3.5 kg·m -2 tomato plants from…

During the last five years, policies and strategies regarding CEPMs have promoted and contributed to the development of research on this topic. The evolution and most relevant aspects of the three CEPMs previously me…
Examining the Research Evolution on the Socio-Economic and Environmental Dimensions on University Social Responsibility
Responsible higher education institutions have an impact on society and economic, environmental, and social development. These effects define the axes of the socially responsible management of the universities. The concept of university social responsibility (USR) manages these relationships to produce a positive impact on society through higher education, research, and the transfer of knowledge and technology, as well as education for sustainabi…
The Production and Quality of Different Varieties of Papaya Grown under Greenhouse in Short Cycle in Continental Europe
In Europe, papaya consumption is growing due to its nutritional properties. The proximity of consumer markets to Southeast Spain allows fruits to be harvested at a more advanced stage of maturity compared to exporting countries from outside Europe, a timeline which improves the quality of the papaya. Experiments have been carried out to assess the adaptation of papaya to protected cropping systems (under greenhouse) in the region. In this paper, …
Aquifer Sustainability and the Use of Desalinated Seawater for Greenhouse Irrigation in the Campo de Níjar, Southeast Spain
In the Campo de Níjar (southeast Spain), an intensive horticulture model under plastic has been developed based on the use of groundwater. For many years, aquifers have been overexploited, almost generating an environmental collapse. The construction of a desalination plant was planned to improve this situation and to achieve sustainable aquifer management. However, the aquifer is still being overexploited, since farmers scarcely use desalinated …
Profit Analysis of Papaya Crops under Greenhouses as an Alternative to Traditional Intensive Horticulture in Southeast Spain
The high-yield agricultural model in Almería is based on eight different crops. Having led fruit and vegetable exports in Spain for more than 50 years, a decrease in melon and watermelon growing areas in Almería caused a change in supply that affected the model's profit. Papaya cultivation could reactivate the profit of the agricultural model in Almería and also improve the available product range. The papaya crop needs greenhouse infrastructures…
