Abstract:
... This paper explores the pricing of green bonds in the Italian primary and secondary market and their implications for sustainability by investigating the effect that a green label has on a bond's spread through propensity score matching. From a sample of 420 fixed-rate, euro-denominated bonds priced at on the euro mid-swap from 2014 to the first half of 2021, bonds with a green label are matched w ...

Abstract:
... Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) increasingly include environmental provisions. While the existing literature documents these provisions’ environmental impacts, this paper sheds light on their relation with aid flows. Using an event-specification and data on bilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) commitments for a sample of 147 developing country recipients in the period from 2002 to ...

Abstract:
... Agriculture being responsible for 35% of gas emission worldwide (Foley, 2011), it is now relevant more than ever before to adopt more sustainable eating behaviours. Given its nature, ecological eating is considered both an eating and an environmental behaviour. The literature, however, has yet to identify whether ecological eating is primarily associated with motivation towards the environment or ...
... Prevalence and serovar diversity of Salmonella enterica was measured during a five-year survey of surface waters in a 500 mi2 agricultural region of the Central California Coast. Rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds were sampled bimonthly resulting in 2,979 samples. Overall prevalence was 56.6% with higher levels detected in Spring than in Fall. Small, but significant differences in prevalence were d ...

... Factors such as regulations and health concerns shifted daily habits, including eating behaviors, during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. This comprehensive narrative review synthesizes research on eating behavior changes during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic (February-June 2020) including changes in amount, rate and timing of food consumption, types and healthfulness of foods ...
... Beetroot juice (BRJ) has been demonstrated to decrease blood pressure (BP) due to the high inorganic nitrate content. This pilot randomized crossover trial aimed to investigate the effect of two different high nitrate vegetable juices on plasma nitrate concentrations and BP in healthy adults. Eighteen healthy volunteers were randomized to receive 115 ml of BRJ or 250 ml of green leafy vegetable ju ...

Abstract:
... Green leafy shoots are important components of the food culture of many Asian and African countries. We examined this aspect in India where a living tradition of consuming leafy green is ubiquitous. We investigated a database drawn from 105 studies to analyze the edible species diversity, spatial distribution, culinary diversity as a measure of acceptance, and complemented our interpretation with ...

Abstract:
... Vertical farming is considered as a potential solution to increase yield while decreasing resource use and pesticide impacts compared to conventional agriculture. However, the profitability of cultivating ordinary leafy green crops with low market prices in vertical farming is debated. We studied the agronomic feasibility and viability of growing a medicinal plant—Euphorbia peplus—for its ingenol- ...
... Centella asiatica (L.) Urban commonly known as Gotukola is an important medicinal herb cum nutrient rich green leafy vegetable. The present investigation was undertaken at ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru to evaluate thirteen accessions of Centella asiatica collected from different agroclimatic zones of India viz., Northern, North eastern and Southern India for studying t ...

... Amaranthus dubius is a green leafy vegetable that contributes significantly to food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. We explored the influence of plant-derived aqueous smoke and karrikin on Amaranthus dubius seed germination under varying environmental conditions. Final germination percentage, germination index, mean germination time, coefficient of velocity of germination and germina ...
... A novel and accurate analytical method for the determination of tolfenpyrad in four leafy green vegetables, Brassica bara L., Spinacia oleracea L., Lactuca sativa L. and Brassica chinensis L., was developed and applied to investigate the residue distribution and dietary risk under greenhouse conditions. The established approach was determined to be adequate, with recoveries of 79.2%–92.9% and rela ...
... This study renewed focus on Allmania nodiflora, a green leafy vegetable with diverse nutritional and medicinal properties. The bioaccessibility and the impact of in vitro simulated digestion on polyphenolics were investigated and identified using LC-MS. Although in vitro digestion reduced polyphenolics, the pancreatic digested sample showed a significant bioaccessibility of 97% with better metal i ...
... Common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a novel edible succulent plant with savory flavor. It has epidermal bladder cells (EBCs) that store water and sodium chloride (NaCl) located on the epidermis of the leaves and stems. Ice plant is an obligatory halophyte that requires NaCl for optimum growth. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of NaCl on growth of ice plant ...

Abstract:
... The urban green system is complex because it comprises heterogeneous small and large areas and linear elements connected to each other and with the city system with variable and non-linear rules. Every action in a green area changes the equilibrium of the system and can activate unpredictable synergies or conflicts with internal or external variables. Therefore, every action in a green area also c ...
