Energy Use in the EU Livestock Sector: A Review Recommending Energy Efficiency Measures and Renewable Energy Sources Adoption

Bas Paris et al.

Summary: This study conducts a review on energy use in EU livestock systems, finding that feed, housing, and manure management are the key areas for energy use. The existing data is fragmented with considerable data gaps, highlighting the need for a standardized methodology to measure energy use. This is crucial for achieving the sustainability targets of the EU.

Energy and Water Related Parameters in Tomato and Cucumber Greenhouse Crops in Semiarid Mediterranean Regions. A Review, Part I: Increasing Energy Efficiency

Georgios Nikolaou et al.

Summary: Countries in the Mediterranean region face similar challenges in terms of agricultural sustainability and modern farming practices, with issues like water scarcity, energy use, and climate suitability impacting greenhouse production. While greenhouses in Central and North Europe are equipped with high-tech systems, these may not be suitable for Mediterranean plastic greenhouses due to differences in agronomic needs and energy savings. Identifying energy-efficient solutions tailored to the local climate can improve greenhouse sustainability and crop performance.
