TL;DR: Olive tree cultivation in the Mediterranean goes back to ancient times as mentioned in this paper, and even since the Roman Age, olive cultivation spreadto the entire Mediterranean basin and determined its rural landscape.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a methodological approach to assess and compare the sustainability level of agricultural plant production systems on regional scale combining the three pillars of sustainability environment, economy and society.

TL;DR: The results of the study demonstrate that in communities where tourism plays an important role olive tree cultivation is preserved and the population is stable, and the preservation of the agro-ecosystem is assured while the olive groves remain productive.

TL;DR: The good fit between simulated and experimental data supports the view that these modeling procedures should be considered as reliable and effective methodological tools in Mediterranean areas for evaluating potential control measures, such as management practices for soil and water conservation and changes in land uses, aimed at diminishing soil loss and nutrient delivery to surface waters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on agricultural sustainability in the context of capitalist production as conducted by the two subsystems of agro-industrial system and investigate the interaction of organic farming with the agroindustrial complex.
