Study of the Potential for Agricultural Reuse of Urban Wastewater with Membrane Bioreactor Technology in the Circular Economy Framework by Laura Antiñolo Bermúdez, Juan Carlos Leyva Díaz, Jaime Martín Pascual, María del Mar Muñío Martínez, José Manuel Poyatos Capilla

“…In this context, the European Union, through its Regulation (EU) 2020/741, establishes minimum requirements for wastewater reuse, specifying that reuse for agricultural purposes can help to promote the circular economy and reduce the need for fertiliser use by setting high-quality standards. The aim of this article is to study whether the treated water from a pilot plant with membrane bioreactor technology operating with real urban wastewater from the city of Granada (Spain) satisfies the quality standards required for its reuse for agricultural purposes, as well as assessing the use of other resources produced during wastewater treatment, such as biogas and biostabilised sludge. …”

Diversity of floristic composition of midfield baulks under different farming systems implemented on the outskirts of the Białowieża Forest by Aleksander Kiryluk, Aleksander Kołos

“…Statistical analysis showed that the factors differentiating the floristic composition on the baulks were their location within the cultivated agrocenoses, natural soil abundance and interaction with fertiliser factors. The highest species abundance of plants defined as weeds, occurred in fields under the integrated farming system (58 species), the lowest in fields under the conventional system (39 species). …”

The Chloroplast of <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> as a Testbed for Engineering Nitrogen Fixation into Plants by Marco Larrea-Álvarez, Saul Purton

“…Eukaryotic organisms such as plants are unable to utilise nitrogen gas (N₂) directly as a source of this essential element and are dependent either on its biological conversion to ammonium by diazotrophic prokaryotes, or its supply as chemically synthesised nitrate fertiliser. The idea of genetically engineering crops with the capacity to fix N₂ by introduction of the bacterial nitrogenase enzyme has long been discussed. …”

Tillage and crop straw methods affect energy use efficiency, economics and greenhouse gas emissions in rainfed winter wheat field of Loess Plateau in China by Xingli Lu, Xingneng Lu, Yong Cui, Yuncheng Liao

“…The highest proportion of energy input came from a nitrogen fertiliser, followed by diesel fuel. The total energy input applied per hectare increased with an increase in the tillage intensity, and the lowest energy input was required for the no tillage case with the straw returning treatment, and the highest for the case of mouldboard plow with the straw returning treatment. …”

Impacts of the Climate Change on Agricultural Food Security, Traditional Knowledge and Agroecology by Murat Türkeş

“…Agroecology would contribute to mitigation of the anthropogenic climate change and cooling down the Earth’s increasing surface and lower atmospheric air temperatures, because it is mainly labour-intensive and requires little uses of fossil fuels, energy and artificial fertilisers. It is also necessary to understand the ecological mechanisms underlying sustainability of traditional farming systems, and to translate them into ecological principles that make locally available and appropriate approaches and techniques applicable to a large number of farmers.…”
