In accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic review was conducted on the green extraction of bioactive compounds from fruit matrices through the integration of emerging technologies and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES). Studies p...
Land degradation and declining groundwater availability threaten the sustainability of rural livelihoods across semi-arid regions. This study evaluates the hydrological performance of contour-based trenches as a low-cost and replicable nature-based s...
The European Union aims to reduce its dependency on imported critical and strategic raw materials. Therefore, the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act defines benchmarks for strategic raw materials on domestic mining, recycling, refining, and the diversif...
The construction sector must simultaneously meet rising global demand and cut embodied carbon deeply enough to satisfy European Green Deal and Bioeconomy Strategy targets—two pressures that conventional petrochemical-derived materials are poorly plac...
This study investigates the macroeconomic, institutional, and energy-related determinants of agricultural value added in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries over the period 2000–2023, with particular emphasis on whether international clean...
