Summary: The study found that all honey samples had contaminant residues below legal maximum levels, ensuring safety for consumers. However, there were slight differences in contaminant residues between organic and conventional honeys, with lower levels of synthetic acaricides found in organic honey compared to conventional honey, and higher levels of certain substances in some organic honey samples.

Summary: Despite the lack of studies on the benefits and costs of pollinator conservation, a survey was conducted among three US universities to assess the benefits of becoming Bee Campus USA certified. The study also examined the impact of reminders on student sustainability fees on willingness to pay. The results showed that the net benefits for each university were mostly positive, with information reminders having little effect on support for pollinator conservation.

Summary: The research evaluates the energy performance and thermal comfort of green buildings (GBs) under present and future climate conditions and compares it to non-GBs. It finds that GBs can save 15.1% and up to 21.9% of site energy and have higher thermal comfort levels than non-GBs in the future. GBs also produce approximately 15% and up to 22% fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than non-GBs under present and future climate conditions.

Summary: Through comparing certified food and non-certified food in terms of economic, social, and environmental performance, it was found that certified food outperforms non-certified food in most indicators, especially in economic and social aspects. However, their performance is similar in major environmental indicators. Despite the higher cost of certified food, the extra performance per euro is similar to traditional policy interventions for improving diet sustainability.

Summary: This study compares the total energy consumption of households living in green certified buildings with those living in conventional buildings, finding that households in green certified buildings can save about 25% of total energy. The results suggest that energy policy measures, such as public information campaigns or subsidies for green certified buildings, can benefit energy savings and reduce emissions. However, it is important to consider that predicted energy savings may be higher than actual savings, impacting policy scenarios and measures implemented.

Summary: This study examines consumers' perception of food certification (such as organic and Good Agricultural Practices) and their trust in food chain actors, finding that consumers tend to rely more on interpersonal trust than abstract trust in making food choices.

Summary: This paper compares the differences in recall volume between conventional and organic food based on panel data from 2010-2017 in the US. The study finds that organic products are becoming less safe and are recalled at a higher rate, with a higher susceptibility to process risk compared to design risk.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of different ratios of food waste to seed digestate and pH values on biohydrogen production in an anaerobic reactor. The results show that cattle manure and chicken manure in the seed digestate can adapt to high concentrations of COD in food waste and increase biohydrogen production.

Summary: This study provides detailed cost-potential curves for green hydrogen in 28 selected countries until 2050. The results show huge hydrogen potentials in solar-rich countries in Africa and the Middle East, with low costs. Decentralized PV-based hydrogen production is preferred, and the impact of sustainable water supply on hydrogen costs is minimal. Importing from democratic regions only incurs a slight additional cost.

Summary: This study examines the link between conventional and green energy markets in terms of daily returns and volatility. The findings suggest that both types of markets are affected by shocks, although the impact varies. The results highlight the importance of risk management and resilient investment strategies in energy markets.

Summary: This study found that co-planting Astragalus sinicus L. and Lathyrus cicera L. under traditional pear orchards can enhance landscape benefits, nutrient benefits, and oxygen production. Combinations of 35% AS + 65% LC and 50% AS + 50% LC are more suitable for pear orchard development, with the former having more flowers and nutrient accumulation, and the latter having the longest flowering period.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the concentrations of polyphenols and carotenoids in organic and non-organic carrots. The study found that conventionally cultivated carrots had higher concentrations of these compounds compared to organically grown ones. There was also variation in the polyphenol concentrations in carrot roots. The impact of production systems and cultivars on the levels of these bioactive compounds was inconsistent.

Summary: This study provides an overview and description of alternative methods for juice stabilization, including thermal and non-thermal treatments. The alternatives are divided into non-conventional thermal treatments, non-thermal treatments, and inert-gas treatments based on their action mechanisms. The study also presents critical process parameters, advantages, and disadvantages for each technology. Furthermore, it summarizes the published results of non-thermal technologies applied to fruit and vegetable juice processing and compares the energy costs of the main technologies.

Summary: The rapid expansion of the food industry has led to complex supply chains, where the management culture adopted can influence the product quality and business vitality. The use of blockchain technology in managing supply chains can offer benefits like faster traceability, but its large-scale adoption is hindered by the lack of policies and standards, as well as limited understanding of the technology.
