Alessia Cogato, Leonardo Cei, Francesco Marinello, Andrea Pezzuolo · 2023 · Agronomy

Summary. Rural buildings are central to agricultural sustainability. This systematic review of 2000–2022 research identifies five main research areas: production (25.1%), environmental management (23.2%), construction and efficiency (20.6%), sustainability (20.8%), and engineering technologies (10.3%). The authors find that life cycle assessment, green building design, energy efficiency, and remote detection systems represent the most promising directions for improving rural building performance and reducing environmental impact.
