Dear Researchers,
This research aimed to systematically review the development studies pertaining to forest biomass and bioenergy supply chain resilience.
According to the assessment, the findings of this research on the definition, barriers and enablers of forest biomass and bioenergy supply chain resilience can be applied as a basis for the comprehension and optimization of the structure of supply chains in the forest biomass and bioenergy industries.

Hello Everyone,
I had recently conducted a survey on Enablers and Barriers of Sustainable Manufacturing in addition to other key parameters too amongst 2 different groups; one being the Researchers working in the field of Sustainable Manufacturing all over the world and the other part being the industry professionals focussing various small, medium and large scale industry professionals in Ludhiana (Punjab, India) also known as "Manchester of East" as it has an established manufacturing base for engineering products (Source: http://progressivepunjab.gov.in/keycities.aspx)
The top 3 Enablers and Barriers highlighted by both the groups are shown as follows:
Enablers:
As per Researchers:
- Economic Benefits (associated with Sustainability activities),
- Improving Quality (processes, products etc),
- Government promotions and regulations;
As per Industry Professionals:
- Improving Quality,
- Lowering Manufacturing Cost,
- Education and Training System;
Barriers:
As per Researchers:
- Costs too high (investment related costs, sustainability activities related costs etc),
- Lack of awareness of sustainability concepts,
- Lack of standardized metrics or performance benchmarks;
As per Industry Professionals:
- Lack of awareness of sustainability concepts,
- Costs too high
- Lack of awareness programs conducted locally;
I shall be grateful to all concerned researchers if they could participate and give their views on the highlighted enablers and barriers as on why there is so much of difference in opinions of both the groups and what can be the cause of these enablers & barriers and what are the pertaining issues which needs to be tackled in them.
In a research article related to green supply chain practices (GSCM) and their impact on environmental (EP) and financial performance (FP) of firms, I introduced contingent role of institutional pressures (IP), one of the reviewers raised a concern stating that the earlier part (GSCM-->EP-->FP) is (based on) practical framework and I'm proposing contingent effect of IP on the basis of theoretical framework (institutional theory). He/she asked me to explain 'why' I'm doing so. I'm wondering that how can I justify this because, besides a theoretical underpinnings, it seems that regulatory institutions also belong to 'practical (regulatory) framework. Seeking guidance.
I am wondering if sustainable aquaculture which reuses all effluents and lets out only clean water/organic aquaculture would qualify.
Just looking for any case studies or research papers on ISO 14001:2015 for lake basins or lakes generally.
I want to study on the downsides of non-centralized management in relation to water resources management. I want to know the data I should gather.
I seems that your project is very well and important, however, it need some information about its conditions for a possibility of achievement and if it can be possible also used other gases rather than air.
The question concerns a model of case studies that showed promising/positive changes in water management and after the intervention of the studies on a concerned sources/catchment of water and especially that takes into consideration ethical questions
I want to understand the procedure for calculating sustainability index of a small scale manufacturing industry. pls, help me by suggesting some related materials , software tools available if any, any resercher working in the same area, knidly let me know.
With regards,
Stratagic Value added management
any methods similar to LCA, but more generalized?
any report or webpage with statistics
I am currently working on the value of carrotmobs for companies and did a research on the stakeholders but need to compare their value for the success of the Carrotmob. Any suggestions would be helpful.
It is customary to characterize sustainable development in a familiar typology comprising three pillars: environmental, economic, and social. The relationships among these dimensions are generally assumed to be compatible and mutually supportive and is particularly difficult to realize and operationalize. Recent years though have seen notable efforts among standard setters, planners, and practitioners in various sectors to address the often neglected social aspects of sustainability.
I know that sustainable entrepreneurship is related with effectiveness and efficiency (ecological , economic and social) however what is the direct link of sustainable production and consumption patterns to that? do we speak for human stimulation as regards for sustainable entrepreneurship and effectiveness and efficiency regard for the other two?I am not so sure so please help.
For its complexity and unavailability of required data (for each and every species in concern) MSY is a tough nut to crack.
I'm researching the management and planning issues regarding urban freight measures. Very often they are implemented with "learning by doing" approach, which has a limited effectiveness. So contributions about your experience with planning (or evaluating)of urban freight measures will be very appreciated.
Sustainability is a philosophy whose time has come and there is no way the mankind can dodge the issue anymore. Since small/medium-size enterprises provide a majority of manufacturing activity, and also have limited resources to be applied towards this end, they need to very carefully look at various options to maximize their resources. Under this circumstances, many a times sustainability is not considered important and not given due recognition. What in your opinion the leaders of these organizations should do to remedy this situation?
From the management side.
I did an analysis for different water samples collected from 6 chosen sampling stations of a village, and analyzed for 14 water quality parameters. Can I perform PCA with the data I have?
Is it through behavioural approach or scientific methods or any suggestion?
What is the possible or potential impact of climate change on urban development programs (water supply, sanitation, Solid waste management, sewerage, storm water drain etc) other than the design parameters / design uncertainty?
Research and teaching undergraduates in economics the myth of endless growth?
In particular on the technologies developed in function of government incentives. The target market can be both in Europe and in the rest of the world.
Should water be provided regardless of the ability to pay for its cost; not to mention supplier's benifits; or should it be provided only to the ones who can afford it?
Should water be considered as a good with international and national markets? or should it be considered as a vital resource to sustain live for all living creatures?
Some people in most developing countries live in places where good drinking water is hard to get. The issue is how to assist them to have a system that allows for a continuous flow of water in or around their homes. Efficient water Supply management can play a valid role in reducing these problems.
Dear Members, What are the key areas to look into to make sure that a community donor funded project remains sustainable with no donor assistance after completion of implementation?
Is there anyone with skils in sustainable urban mobility or assessement in urban public transport?On the other side, is there anyone with skils in sustainable urbanism?
