Unravelling business models’ sustainability opportunities
The agricultural sector plays a key role in shaping the transition towards sustainable food systems. However, agricultural producers face dual pressures: they must mitigate environmental burdens and ensure their businesses remain financially viable. Based on a case study in Latin America, this paper investigates the environmental and economic implications of implementing agroecological practices while addressing market barriers and opportunities …
A bite too much
Plate waste at hotel breakfast buffets contributes substantially to food waste, yet interactions between guest characteristics, portioning decisions, and behavioural interventions remain understudied. This study conducts scenario analysis using the validated Establishment Diner agent-based model, simulating plate waste across 36 scenarios varying plate size, clientele structure, guest sustainability awareness, and buffet communication messages. T…
To eat or not to Eat
Food loss and waste are increasingly recognized as the outcomes of complex, interconnected social and environmental dynamics rather than isolated individual choices. In this study, we adopt a complex systems approach to explore how micro-level behaviors and interactions within commercial dining settings give rise to emergent patterns of food waste. We present an agent-based model that integrates a psychologically realistic representation of indiv…
The role of migration in post-soviet communities
The nexus between migration and differentiation of livelihood strategies in sending countries is a widely investigated topic. However, this nexus has been often approached from narrow perspectives, highlighting the impact of migration only on limited elements of households’ livelihood strategies, typically related to the economic impact of remittances. This research presents a multi-level analysis of the migration-livelihood differentiation nexus…
Who stands to gain? How Moldovans engage with policies promoting the migration-rural development nexus
In Moldova, migration has become a key strategy for diversifying rural households’ livelihoods. The state and international institutions have launched programmes enhancing the migration-rural development nexus by channelling migrants’ remittances into investments in rural areas. Drawing on qualitative data, the paper explores how supra/national policies aimed at ‘making the most of emigration’ are received or rejected by Moldovan farmers. Using a…

The role of short food supply chains in advancing the global agenda for sustainable food systems transitions
Food systems are experiencing a unique momentum of transformation guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP). The potential of short food supply chains to contribute to this transition both in urban and rural environments has been broadly acknowledged by policymakers and scientists. Yet no exhaustive evidence exists on their capacity to meet the goals declared. This paper categorises the benefi…

Post-Soviet smallholders between entrepreneurial farming and diversification. Livelihood pathways in rural Moldova
Remittance inflow and smallholder farming practices. The case of Moldova
Structural change and transition in the agricultural sector
The economic and political crisis Serbia had to face during the nineties affected the competitive advantages its agricultural sector had in comparison with the other countries of the region. Despite a number of differences related to the specific economic, political and social settings and developments, the reform path Serbia started in 2000 showed a number of similarities, but also some differences in comparison with most of the Central and East…
Green Approaches to Enhancing Rural Communities in Romania
The concept of development evolves following the transformations and new challenges communities have to face. In this framework, in the past twenty years, development discourse has covered questions about the interrelations among its different dimensions (economic, human, social, environmental, institutional), about the transition from linear to circular models, and about the role (and importance) of endogenous resources. This evolution has incre…
