Abstract
One of the major challenges of the sustainable agri-food system around the world is the prevention of losses and waste along the value chains. As global demand for food, feed and fuel is rising there is a need for innovative strategies to improve resource efficiency in food production. Bioeconomic approaches focus on developing processes that exploit underutilized by-products from agricultural and horticultural food production. The horticultural sector is all the more affected because fresh produce in this sector is highly perishable and also contains inedible parts. In this sense, in order to evaluate the feasibility of the bioeconomy's potential to meet these problems, the present study will present a bibliometric analysis of research for the superior processing of waste and horticultural by-products with practical applications such as the bioremediation of pollutants, the production of renewable energy, bioactive compounds, biofertilizers.
期刊介绍:
FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH is an international journal, which has been issued under the care of the Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti, Romania. Fruit growing research is an annual journal aimed at disseminating significant research and original papers on genetic resources, breeding of deciduous fruit trees species; fruit sustainable technologies – environment protection; propagation, virology and tissue culture, postharvest, that can be of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of fruit growing. An international Editorial Board advises the journal.
