AI Article Synopsis

  • A new 5-year Common Agricultural Policy started in January 2023, but it is expected to fall short in providing significant environmental and climatic benefits.
  • The policy relies on three key tools: conditionality, eco-schemes, and agri-environment and climate measures, which could have been implemented more effectively.
  • The authors suggest enhancing the policy by rewarding farmers for exceeding basic standards through eco-schemes and targeted measures, focusing on global public goods and local environmental benefits, while also addressing potential trade-offs.

Article Abstract

A new 5-year Common Agricultural Policy has been in place since January 2023. Like its predecessors, this new policy will fail to deliver significant climatic and environmental benefits. We show how the Green Architecture of the policy relying on the three instruments of conditionality, eco-schemes, and agri-environment and climate measures could have been used more consistently and effectively. Our proposals are based on core principles of public economics and fiscal federalism as well as on research results in agronomy and ecology. Conditionality criteria are the minimal requirements that every agricultural producer must meet. Farmers should be rewarded for efforts that go beyond these basic requirements through eco-schemes for global public goods complemented by agri-environment and climate measures centred on local public goods. Eco-schemes should cover the whole agricultural area by targeting permanent grasslands, crop diversification, and green cover and non-productive agro-ecological infrastructures. We discuss trade-offs that our proposals could generate.

Porous Deep Eutectic Solvents-Unfulfilled Dream or the Next Breakthrough in Scientific Innovation?

Adv Sci (Weinh)

December 2024

Faculty of Chemical Technology, Institute of Chemical Technology and Engineering, Poznan University of Technology, Berdychowo 4, Poznan, 60965, Poland.

Porous deep eutectic solvents (PDES) are capturing the imagination of scientists, promising a revolutionary leap in material science. These innovative materials, blending the versatility of deep eutectic solvents (DES) with the intricate architectures of porous structures, offer an exciting array of applications-from green chemistry and catalysis to energy storage and environmental remediation. However, the journey from laboratory curiosity to industrial application is fraught with challenges.

Crystal structures and photophysical properties of mono- and dinuclear Zn complexes flanked by tri-ethyl-ammonium.

Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun

Two new zinc(II) complexes, tri-ethyl-ammonium di-chlorido-[2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-olato]zinc(II), (CHN){Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), and bis-(tri-ethyl-ammonium) {2,2'-[1,4-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}bis-[di-chlorido-zinc(II)], (CHN)[Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), were synthesized and their structures were determined using ESI-MS spectrometry, H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the ligands 2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-ol () and ,'-bis-(2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)benzene-1,4-di-amine () were deprotonated by tri-ethyl-amine, forming the counter-ion EtNH, which inter-acts an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the ligand. The Zn atoms have a distorted trigonal-pyramidal () and distorted tetra-hedral () geometries with a coord-ination number of four, coordinating with the ligands N and O atoms.

Introduction: The assessment of the severity of fruit disease is crucial for the optimization of fruit production. By quantifying the percentage of leaf disease, an effective approach to determining the severity of the disease is available. However, the current prediction of disease degree by machine learning methods still faces challenges, including suboptimal accuracy and limited generalizability.

FeS-based nanocomposites: A promising approach for sustainable environmental remediation - Focus on adsorption and photocatalysis - A review.

J Environ Manage

December 2024

Department of Sanitary Engineering, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland; School of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, College of Engineering, Korea University, 145 Anam-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, 02841, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Population expansion, industrialization, urban development, and climate changes increased the water crisis in terms of drinking water availability. Among the various nanomaterials for nanoremediation towards water treatment, FeS-based nanocomposites have emerged as promising candidates in the adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of contaminants. This paper, therefore, evaluates the potential of FeS-based nanocomposites for environmental applications, more specifically the combined use of adsorption and photocatalysis.
