Towards sustainable food systems in Belgium: production and consumption perspectives considering environmental impacts, nutritional values and dietary habits KU Leuven
Food production and consumption contribute largely to global environmental impacts. Protein sources play an important role in this, and research has shown that animal-based protein sources, such as meat and dairy, generally induce larger environmental impacts than plant-based protein sources, such as peas and legumes. At the same time, animal-based protein sources are suppliers of important nutrients. Therefore, when changing from animal-based ...
Conservation agriculture, improving soil quality for sustainable production systems? KU Leuven
© 2010 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Human efforts to produce ever-greater amounts of food leave their mark on our environment. Persistent use of conventional farming practices based on extensive tillage, especially when combined with removal or in situ burning of crop residues, have magnified soil erosion losses and the soil resource base has been steadily degraded (Montgomery, 2007). Many soils have been worn down to their nadir for most ...

A techno-economic evaluation of solar-powered green hydrogen production for sustainable energy consumption in Belgium Hasselt University
This study focuses on the production and consumption of solar-powered green hydrogen in Belgium by comparing the costs of domestic production with those of imports from Morocco and Namibia. The levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) is determined via a technoeconomic assessment considering various parameters including, power connectivity, electrolyzer types, location factors, and risk premium. The results show that the lowest LCOH can be achieved by ...
