Delphi-ANP analysis method is used to determine the optimal Islamic macroprudential instruments, which result is supported by meta-analysis and optimum method findings.The results show that Islamic Agricultural Lending to Sector (IALTS) is the optimal instrument to support agricultural sector financing. According to the ANP and optimum method findings, an Islamic macroprudential instrument should meet three criteria i.e., it should be able to increase financing for the agricultural sector, prevent speculative short-term transactions, and internalize systemic risk. Experts emphasized that IALTS have met the criteria to support sustainable growth and stability in the agricultural sector financing. Meta-analysis reveals a positive and significant correlation between agricultural financing and agricultural productivity across countries, which supports the instrument of macroprudential implementation.The government should adopt measures to boost agricultural production through macroprudential policy tools, financing for agriculture from Islamic banks, and policies that ensure inclusive agricultural financing for the benefit of all levels of farmers.

It acknowledges that digitalization, while offering numerous benefits such as efficiency and scalability, does not inherently lead to sustainability. The text highlights three critical aspects influencing digitalization?s impact: the design of digital solutions, access to these solutions, and the complexity of systems integrating digital technologies. Challenges such as the risk of exacerbating inequalities and the necessity for comprehensive governance to mitigate negative effects are discussed. The paper also delves into the digital transition within the agri-food sector, emphasizing the contrast between conventional agriculture and agroecological approaches, which prioritize diversity and resilience. It argues that digital tools can support more sustainable and diverse agricultural practices if correctly aligned with ecological principles. Finally, the text calls for targeted innovation policies to ensure that digital transition contributes effectively to ecological goals, suggesting that a thoughtful and directed approach is essential for realizing the transformative potential of digitalization in fostering a sustainable future.

An analysis in Southern Italy through the Life Cycle Assessment methodology Abstract: Promoting a sustainable economy through the digital and ecological transition of companies is one of the challenges of our century. By improving processes along the agri-food supply chains and enhancing the data generated in every single area of the value chain, digital promises to reduce the ecological footprint of the agricultural sector. Thus, the aim of the research was to estimate the environmental impacts and the social cost of pollution of different agricultural systems to identify the weak point in the cultivation phase and propose more sustainable lines of intervention and alternatives in a green transition perspective. The study was carried out in Southern Italy and 46 cropping systems were analyzed and compared using the Life Cycle Methodology (LCA). Results showed that to date no farmers interviewed has adopted digital technologies. The comparison between cultivation systems highlighted the greater sustainability of those organic. Among the different systems, some by their nature cOULD be considered more sustainable than others (as olive and hazelnut systems) because linked to a cultivation characterized by a low use of resources and inputs. On the contrary, others presented greater impacts due to the use of considerable quantities of materials, above all support and covering structures (as in table grapes systems) or plastic containers (as in strawberry systems). In the systems that didn?t use many materials, the disaggregation of the impacts by agricultural operations showed that the greatest impacts were linked to the emissions of the fuels, especially during the harvesting phase, and to fertilization and disease control. Hence the need to spread the use of the LCA methodology to estimate impacts in agriculture, increase organic cultivation and intervene with modern digital and precision agriculture technologies to consume fewer resources, reduce waste, and improve the quality of life.

The study aims to contribute to this knowledge gap from a strictly conceptual perspective, by investigating benefits and obstacles that Blockchain and digital technologies can have to favour the creation and implementation of a quality wine district towards a sustainable path. Based on the literature background and a case study approach, the Vermentino di Gallura PDO Quality District, this study discusses the prospects and hypotheses of introducing Blockchain technologies and other digital tools at district level and the challenges and opportunities for fostering its sustainable transition. Preliminary results suggest that this transition could benefit the local supply chain and its territory over different pillars of sustainability, although obstacles can be expected along the implementation path. Obstacles can be in various areas ? among which are the breadth and variety of processes included within the boundaries of the digital transition and the inter-organizational nature of the twin transition.

Among them, the European Partnership for Innovation in Agriculture (EIP-AGRI), which was established in 2014, has proven significant in promoting sustainable production models and value chains in Europe. Operational Groups (OGs) within the Partnership provide ?interactive innovation? platforms in which research institutions work with farmers, advisors, businesses, NGOs and other interest groups to co-create innovative solutions for agriculture and forestry as well as rural communities; the rationale is that when farmers and foresters are engaged in the process, the solutions are more likely to be based on their concrete reality and thus relevant.  While the benefits of the participatory, multi-actor and bottom-up approach of OGs have been widely acknowledged, little is known about the drivers and barriers influencing the process. This contribution explores their role in the wine sector, applying a mixed methods approach to analyse the perceptions of OG stakeholders from different Italian regions. Interviewees have been asked to what extent they believe the EIP-AGRI OGs serve as drivers of innovation and provide a network able to foster knowledge exchange, and what they perceive to be their barriers to innovation. By addressing this knowledge gap, this study will provide some insights and good practices to improve EIP-AGRI policies at regional, national and European levels.
