The replacement of a sentence in the Introduction:
The limited availability of arable land and water resources, the impacts of climate change, and the need to promote environmentally sustainable agricultural practices [8–10] are likely to accentuate the pressures exerted upon existing agricultural food production systems [11–13].
  • is replaced with
The limited availability of arable land and water resources, the impacts of climate change, and the need to promote environmentally sustainable agricultural practices [8,9] are likely to accentuate the pressures exerted upon existing agricultural food production systems.
With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
