Sustainable potato production practices are crucial for food security and social sustainability in the future since potato is a highly nutritious food and it is considered as one of the most promising crops to reduce human hunger and poverty in the world due to its high yield potential. However, being a temperate crop, potato is exposed to various environmental stresses, including extended periods of drought and heat. The majority of potato genomics, transcriptomics, and transgenics studies concentrate on the characterization of molecular mechanisms governing cold hardiness of tubers and response and tolerance mechanisms against diseases. Likewise, potato breeding studies focus on increasing the yield, extending the postharvest storage, and developing cultivars that withstand biotic stresses. The number of genomics, transcriptomics, and transgenics studies of drought and heat tolerance in potato is limited, although they are necessary state-of-the-art research procedures to characterize and identify the regulatory mechanism underlying any stresses in order to develop new crop varieties that can tolerate harsh environmental conditions. For these reasons, this review focuses on recent advances in genomics, transcriptomics, and transgenics of drought and heat tolerance in potato.

The causal nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and agricultural ecosystem-an econometric approach Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (2017-01-01) Achieving a long-term food security and preventing hunger include a better nutrition through sustainable systems of production, distribution, and consumption. Nonetheless, the quest for an alternative to increasing global food supply to meet the growing demand has led to the use of poor agricultural practices that promote climate change. Given the contribution of the agricultural ecosystem towards greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this study investigated the causal nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and a...
An Investigation on Benefit-Cost Analysis of Greenhouse Structures in Antalya Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (2020-11-12) Significant population increase across the world, loss of cultivable land and increasing demand for food put pressure on agriculture. To meet the demand, greenhouses are built, which are, light structures with transparent cladding material in order to provide controlled microclimatic environment proper for plant production. Conceptually, greenhouses are similar with manufacturing buildings where a controlled environment for manufacturing and production have been provided and proper spaces...
Understanding individual behavior and moral judgments on food waste in a university cafeteria Özokcu, Selin; Özdemir, Özlem; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Department of Earth System Science (2021-11-18) Along with the global food crisis, climate change, population growth, urbanization, enlarging middle class, and shifts in consumption patterns, food waste became a severe problem to tackle. Around one-third of produced food, which approximates to 1.3 billion tonnes per year, has been globally wasted throughout the food supply chain. A considerable literature has proliferated around the theme of food waste; and yet the drivers of consumer-level food waste in emerging economies remains unattended. This disser...
Sustainable design implications for alternative food networks: A case on Güneşköy's community supported agriculture (CSA) model Kaplan, Ayşe; Doğan, Çağla; Department of Industrial Design (2021-6) The global food system consists of complex processes (i.e., food production, distribution, consumption, and disposal) and contains several environmental, economic, and social sustainability challenges. As a result of the food system's problems, some producers and consumers have taken actions that have resulted in the emergence of alternative food networks. These are primarily bottom-up initiatives led by creative and innovative groups of people collaborating to develop alternative food-system solutions. Dif...
Contributions of web and mobile applications to rural development on the basis of product management: a case from GAP region Şahin, Gizem; Büyükcivelek, Ahmet Burak; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2022-5-06) The agricultural sector has maintained its vital importance as it meets the food need of the population in every period of human history. Also, the developments in agricultural production in world history allow to access to the times for focusing on technological developments. Correctly implemented and integrated technological advancement into business processes of agricultural production help agricultural producers to sustain their agricultural activities, especially in rural areas which are disadvantaged ...
