A recent study by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reveals that approximately 40% of India’s food production is wasted each year due to inefficient fragmented supply chain management. An effective essential ensure efficient use resources maximize profitability. platform required enhance communication, facilitate contract agreements, streamline collaboration among stakeholders reach their target destinations. In some cases, suppliers raw materials often struggle find buyers, which create gaps in system. To address these issues, we have developed a unique methodology. We designed connects all through transparent, two-way communication channel, while ensuring high levels authenticity trust. Additionally, created comprehensive framework includes profiles for farmers, retailers, manufacturers, distributors. This application aims bridge improve overall efficiency application’s integrity with database, conducted tests various databases optimal performance authentication. During our evaluation, one observations on was Postgres database system utilized 48.3% total processing time latency 10,941.3 milliseconds. At same time, PgBouncer used 5.4% consumed 1230.75 milliseconds before data started. Considering authentication as parameter, also considered Firebase (NoSQL) application. It optimizes operations platform’s speed efficiency, has potential improvements management

STUDIES IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY REVIEW, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6(1), С. e13889 - e13889

Опубликована: Фев. 4, 2025

Reverse logistics provides a valuable perspective on productive processes, economic efficiency, social well-being, and environmental sustainability. Its implementation is essential at both macro micro levels, influencing government policies regulations as well individual businesses. Despite the clear benefits of reverse logistics, several barriers impede its execution. This article aims to analyze obstacles identified in literature regarding implementation. Specifically, it explores countries represented reviewed articles, business sectors involved, most frequently cited barriers, variations between with high low incidence rates. The research employed systematic review qualitative analysis sample articles. Key include shortage qualified personnel, insufficient governmental legislation, limited financial incentives investment. Notably, majority publications come from emerging countries, Brazil India leading volume. construction sector, recognized significant source waste, also exhibits highest number barriers. study offers comprehensive overview challenges implementing enhancing understanding how overcome these obstacles.

Effectiveness of innovative circular technologies for sustainable rural freshwater supply in Tanzania

Frontiers in Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6

Опубликована: Фев. 7, 2025

The present study was conducted in two villages situated the Ruvu–Wami River Basin upstream catchment area Kilosa district. experiencing multiple competing water-use activities exacerbated by climate-change-induced human and livestock in-migration. Due to pressure imposed on hydrological resources, new waterpoints were installed while defective ones not being repaired. guided objectives: (a) investigate extent which innovative circular technologies improved overall financial sustainability of freshwater schemes (b) determine contributed technical rural supply. This used Lockwood, Bakalian, Wakeman’s eight dimensions as a conceptual framework increased financial, technical, schemes. Data collected from 131 households through quantitative semi-structured survey; these data complemented qualitative involving 116 focus group discussions. One key finding is that demonstrated capability increase water However, deficiencies affected this potential, leading high dissatisfaction low expectations among users. resulted various failures, technologies, showing close interrelationship between social acceptance technological sustainability. Six important recommendations have been made, specifically concerning importance capacity, community ownership, acceptance, participation, change management, procurement standards, affect quality physical infrastructure network.

Approaches and perspectives on the transition to the circular economy in the European Union

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13

Опубликована: Март 4, 2025

Introduction The transition to a circular economy is key pillar of European sustainable development. However, in the current context, shaped by multiple crises and geopolitical conflicts, efficiency resilience this are particular concern. policymakers national authorities must adapt their approaches mitigate risks posed external factors while ensuring progress towards sustainability goals. This study analyzes from 2010 2022, assessing economic environmental variables. Methods employs an econometric approach using panel data 27 EU Member States. A linear regression model with fixed effects applied alongside spectral analysis descriptive statistics examine relationships between private investment, gross value added, municipal waste recycling rates, recyclable material flows, greenhouse gas emissions. These methods allow for in-depth evaluation influencing transition. Results Findings indicate that investment integration materials significantly enhance economy. varies across States due regional disparities, inadequate infrastructure, inefficient management. High-emission countries face greater challenges achieving targets, demonstrating need tailored resilient policy measures. Discussion results highlight necessity public policies promote attractiveness sectors, reduce improve management infrastructure. Additionally, emphasizes importance coordinated region-specific accelerate By integrating seasonal analyses, research contributes literature offering nuanced understanding affecting progress. insights valuable supranational developing effective strategies at level.

Comprehensive Review on Challenges of Integration of Renewable Energy Systems into Microgrid

Solar Energy and Sustainable Development, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(1), С. 199 - 236

Опубликована: Март 4, 2025

The integration of renewable energy systems (RES) into microgrids faces challenges from technical, economic, and socio-environmental perspectives. Despite their potential to address access climate change challenges, RES-based face significant barriers, including technical complexities, economic constraints, socio-cultural resistance, regulatory inadequacies, environmental concerns. Some the issues, like intermittency lack compatibility with other sources, are managed by management (EMS) integrated battery systems. These barriers include high capital investment unpredictable revenue which addressable through chosen microgrid architecture, flexible payment structures, tariffs. Community opposition local knowledge overcome employing mitigation measures that pertain partaking in planning processes developing training programs. gaps addressed use standardized policy as well streamlined permitting procedures, while issues application life cycle assessment (LCA)-based solutions environmentally sustainable materials. Furthermore, paper addresses more recent developments, artificial intelligence (AI), peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, an emphasis on improvement prospects. Finally, implications presented, stressing need for systemic observed tendencies. This systematically reviews multifaceted integrating RES microgrids. It presents innovative solutions, AI-driven management, modular designs, frameworks enhance efficiency, reliability, sustainability a scalable transition. review provides diverse view future growth several insights stakeholders related development technology making transition sustainable.
