About the book
The book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of innovative biosystems engineering for sustainable agriculture, forestry and food production. Focusing on the challenges of implementing sustainability in various contexts in the fields of biosystems engineering, it shows how the research has addressed the sustainable use of renewable and non-renewable resources. It also presents possible solutions to help achieve sustainable production.
The Mid-Term Conference of the Italian Association of Agricultural Engineering (AIIA) is part of a series of conferences, seminars and meetings that the AIIA organizes, together with other public and private stakeholders, to promote the creation and dissemination of new knowledge in the sector.
The contributions included in the book were selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process, and offer an extensive and multidisciplinary overview of interesting solutions in the field of innovative biosystems engineering for sustainable agriculture.
Thanks to all the participants who joined and attended the conference

First announcement
Sustainable development of agriculture, forestry, and food production sectors is closely related to the research developments in the field of biosystems engineering. On one side, biosystems research is oriented to efficiently produce and process biological resources to satisfy the demand of consumers and a wide range of industries for food, feed, bio-energy and bio-based products. At the same time, it provides and develops engineering-based methodologies and decision support tools for management and protection of soil, water and environmental resources; design of structures, facilities, equipment and infrastructures; planning and design of rural areas and landscape; mechanization and technologies for agricultural production; agricultural electrification and energy usage; ergonomics and work organization and safety; computer and communication technologies.
The aim of this Conference is to stimulate contributions related to the engineering technological applications to the agriculture, forestry, and agro-food sectors. Researchers involved in activities related to Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, as well as Agricultural, Forestry and Food Engineers, farm and food company managers are warmly invited to attend the Conference.
13 September 2019, 20:00-21:00, Location #2 (San Rocco), "Tasting of wines and typical foods of Lucan cuisine" will be kindly offered by "Associazione Cuochi Materani"
