Abstract In this study, the reuse of Citrus fortunella (CF) plant waste, an agricultural product, was evaluated within scope sustainability. context, selenium nanoparticles (CF‐Se NPs) were synthesized from CF waste extracts and crystal violet (CV) dye removed. The characteristic structure CF‐Se NPs determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–vis spectroscopy, point zero charge (pH pzc ). Batch adsorption tests applied to determine effect on CV removal. Four different kinetic isotherm models examined using error analysis functions. While particle size as 27.58 nm, pH value calculated 9.40, average surface distribution −24.1 mV, mass losses 9.03% 13.42% at 334.99 739.21°C, respectively. most suitable model for removal with be pseudo‐second‐order a R 2 ‐value 0.999 Freundlich 0.993, q max 23.55 mgCV/gCF‐SeNPs. effectiveness in is remarkable issue terms sustainable production.

This study examines the complex interplay between food security, climate change, population, water, and renewable energy desalination in five Arab countries: Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, United Emirates. Using a comprehensive econometric approach: an Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag approach (ARDL) Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) technique spanning 1990–2022, to explore short- long-run dynamics of these relationships identify causal linkages. The ARDL results reveal mixed outcome. While capacity holds potential for enhancing security all countries, its impact depends on cost government support. negatively affects most cases, highlighting need cost-effective solutions. Climate change poses significant threat, particularly but it may also offer unexpected opportunities KSA UAE. Population growth, unsurprisingly, strains across region. Water scarcity emerges as major challenge, especially Jordan. Granger causality tests uncover bidirectional desalination, water Morocco suggesting their interconnected influence. In imports drive system, while UAE exhibit with acting key drivers. Policymakers facing challenge countries should take note this research’s multifaceted findings. promise, success hinges reducing costs through technological advancements support, adaptation strategies must be prioritized, recognizing potentially regions like Additionally, addressing innovative resource management is crucial, Managing population growth family planning initiatives promoting sustainable agricultural practices are vital long-term security. Finally, identified underscore integrated policy approaches that acknowledge interconnectedness factors. By tailoring responses specific each nation, policymakers can ensure effective interventions secure future

To uncover the security aspects of Water-Energy-Food-Nexus (WEFN) and develop innovative methods for evaluating its security, we initially utilize coefficient variation-cumulative information contribution rate (COV-CICR) model to select assessment metrics. This approach ensures a well-suited set indicators assessing WEFN. Subsequently, WEFN is developed by utilizing random forest that has been fine-tuned with aquila optimizer. illustrate this model's application, use example Hongxinglong branch China's Beidahuang Farming Group Co., Ltd. The study conducted detailed analysis spatiotemporal variations in (Water-Energy-Food Nexus) system across 12 subsidiary farms. Furthermore, it identified key driving factors elucidated their mechanisms accounting data fluctuations. research included calculating index these accurately determine dominant under varying conditions. results indicate over time, level trended upward. From 2002–2008, slowly increased. 2009–2018, remained stable. 2018–2021, rapidly accelerated. Spatially, southern region lower than northern region, while central region's primary controlling also vary at different scales. In comparison BP, RF, PSO-RF models, AO-RF demonstrates outstanding advantages terms fitting performance, reliability, reasonableness, stability. fully supports applicability assessment. findings enrich integrated application intelligent optimization machine learning studies, introduce novel analytical drivers, expand our understanding new underlying operations.

Water is crucial for enduring horticultural productivity, but high water-use requirements and declining water supplies with the changing climate challenge economic viability, environmental sustainability, social justice. While scholarly literature pertaining to management in horticulture abounds, knowledge of practices technologies that optimize use scarce. Here, we review scientific relating crops, impacts on resources, opportunities improving water- transpiration-use efficiency. We find crops vary widely, depending crop type, development stage, agroecological region, investigations hitherto have primarily been superficial. Expansion sector has depleted polluted resources via overextraction agrochemical contamination, extent significance such issues are not well quantified. contend innovative irrigation can improve tactical mitigate impacts. Nature-based solutions horticulture—mulching, organic amendments, hydrogels, like—alleviate needs, information their effectiveness across production systems regions limited. Novel recycled sources (e.g., treated wastewater, desalination) would seem promising avenues reducing dependence natural detrimental human health trade-offs if managed. Irrigation including partial root-zone drying regulated deficit evoke remarkable improvements efficiency, require significant experience efficient implementation.

Water scarcity is a critical issue worldwide and has become major constraint on socio-economic development. Seawater desalination an appealing adaptation option in regions with access to the coast; however, it sustainability challenges that require careful consideration. Two are: how manage spectrum of potential adverse social environmental impacts; provide fair sustainable water benefits region as whole. This paper presents participatory modelling framework designed support planning integration desalinated seawater into regional supply network water-scarce regions. The based tool facilitates collaborative understanding context optimises maps candidate networks associated trade-offs between economic, performance criteria. aims facilitate dialogue all interested parties contributes more informed, fair, consented, long-term schemes.

This study investigates the role of green marketing in addressing Jordan’s environmental and economic challenges, focusing on barriers drivers adoption. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 504 respondents (67.5% customers 32.5% SME owners) analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling to evaluate relationships between socio-economic factors, financial incentives, infrastructural challenges. The results reveal that incentives significantly drive adoption renewable energy (coefficient: 0.85, p = 0.010) sustainable agriculture 0.80, 0.014). Stakeholder engagement is high, with customer awareness scoring mean 4.1 (standard deviation: 0.5) sustainability at 4.2 0.5). Key include limitations (mean: 3.7, standard 0.8) disparities 3.8, 0.7), restricting access eco-friendly products.
