  • A multi-level network tool to trace wasted water from farm to fork and backwards

    Open AccessFrancesco Semeria, Luca Ridolfi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Food loss and waste (FLW) is an issue of great public concern, due to its major impact on food security and on the social, economic and environmental resources involved in food production, trade and consumption. In this work, we put the lens on water resources, as those lost in the different stages of FLW represent about a quarter of the total freshwater resources used in food crop production. To this end, we propose the NETFLOW model (Network-ba…

  • Solar irrigation in sub-Saharan Africa: Economic feasibility and development potential

    Open AccessGiacomo Falchetta, Francesco Semeria et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Irrespective of water resource abundance, agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is predominantly rainfed. Along with fertilization, irrigation could support smallholder farmers with stabilizing crop yields, increasing incomes, and achieving food security. A key barrier to irrigation uptake is inadequate rural electricity supply for pumping and distributing water, besides other infrastructure deficits. Here we devise a spatially explicit integra…

  • Ever-increasing agricultural land and water productivity: A global multi-crop analysis

    Open AccessMarta Tuninetti, Luca Ridolfi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Producing more nutritious food with less resources, while preserving the natural ecosystems, is a key challenge of our society. In this paper we propose a macronutrient-based indicator of productivity, the nutrient land productivity ( NLP ), to measure the amount of calories, proteins, and fats produced per hectare of cropland. Over the period 1961−2016, we find that the global NLP has increased by 2.7–2.9% per year for calories and proteins, and…

  • Global virtual water trade and the hydrological cycle: Patterns, drivers, and socio-environmental impacts

    Open AccessPaolo D’odorico, Joel A Carr et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The increasing global demand for farmland products is placing unprecedented pressure on the global agricultural system and its water resources. Many regions of the world, that are affected by a chronic water scarcity relative to their population, strongly depend on the import of agricultural commodities and associated embodied (or virtual ) water. The globalization of water through virtual water trade (VWT) is leading to a displacement of water u…

  • A Fast Track approach to deal with the temporal dimension of crop water footprint

    Open AccessMarta Tuninetti, Stefania Tamea et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Population growth, socio-economic development and climate changes are placing increasing pressure on water resources. Crop water footprint is a key indicator in the quantification of such pressure. It is determined by crop evapotranspiration and crop yield, which can be highly variable in space and time. While the spatial variability of crop water footprint has been the objective of several investigations, the temporal variability remains poorly …
