RETASTE: Rethink Food Resources, Losses, and Waste 4th International Conference

The global food chain system is the single largest source of greenhouse gasses in the world, and the largest cause of biodiversity loss, terrestrial ecosystem destruction, freshwater consumption, and waterway pollution, due to the mismanagement of biocides and nutrients. On top of these deficiencies, approximately 40% of all produced food is wasted throughout farm-to-fork processes, while more than 900 million people remain undernourished. The margin for improvement of the global food chain system is therefore huge, and may unlock pathways towards the stability of the Earth's ecosystem and a better future for humanity.

Against this background, the RETASTE Conference initiates a dialogue for innovative solutions and optimization schemes that exploit significant opportunities for food waste reduction, reuse, and recycling at all stages of the food life cycle, as well as their scalability and commercial translatability. In parallel, RETASTE aims to address the social aspects of food waste issues, as well as to highlight ways to tackle social and perception barriers against reducing our environmental footprint, thus shifting the evolving future of social, market, and global megatrends.

Through the conservation of resources, the strengthening of the social fabric, and the development of new value chains, RETASTE supports the implementation of the Circular Economy concept.

The audience of RETASTE includes academia, industry, and stakeholders, and is truly transdisciplinary, as dictated by the topics of the conference.

Join us to Rethink Food Waste!

International Summit on Renewable Energy (INSORE2023)

As an established event organized by University of Zagreb Faculty of Agriculture and Josip Juraj Strossmayer University Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek, Croatia, the main goal of the Symposium is to present the scientific results of Croatian and international researchers and in this way to enable a better transfer of scientific achievements into agricultural production. In 2023, the event will be enriched with the Summit, organized by the University of Zagreb Faculty of Agriculture, Croatia, and North East Renewable Energy Research Lab, India, which will precede the Symposium. The main goal of the Summit is to present and discuss possible solutions for the implementation of climate-friendly innovations, technologies and agronomical practices. In addition to the plenary lectures, the Summit and Symposium are organized in the following sections (themes):

Sections INSORE2023

How to publish in this journal

[email protected]

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Evolution of the number of documents cited by public policy documents according to Overton database.

Evoution of the number of documents related to Sustainable Development Goals defined by United Nations. Available from 2018 onwards.
