The production and consumption of insects as human food or as livestock feed is considered a resource capable of having a positive impact on food security and the environment. From the perspective of human consumption, entomophagy has a long history of application.
Urban agriculture has long been identified as a valid solution to guarantee food security and the creation of small profitable businesses in developing and non-developing countries. As is known, the number of inhabitants in cities has recently exceeded the number of inhabitants in rural areas, resulting in an extension of the concrete surface and a greater distance from food supply areas.
In this session, Elisa Appolloni from the University of Bologna explores the fascinating world of Simplified Hydroponic Systems, focusing on urban and low-tech horticulture solutions.
This presentation provides an in-depth exploration of adapting greenhouse technologies to Mediterranean and similar arid climates. It addresses the challenges and solutions for cultivating in environments characterised by high temperatures, strong solar radiation, and limited, saline irrigation resources.
