To ensure sustainable growth, feed-fed aquaculture needs to reduce its reliance on fishmeal and oil. Introducing of novel aquaculture feeds such as macroalgae, bacteria, yeasts, and insects can greatly reduce the need for fish in aquaculture while maintaining efficiency and omega-3 fatty acid profiles. Insects, particularly, can efficiently convert organic waste into valuable products, thus reducing waste management costs and replacing fish and soybean meal. The flexibility and efficiency of insect metabolism contribute to their potential in mass food and feed production. However, for insect farming to have a global impact, it needs to be economically viable and capable of supplying insect products in industrial quantities. Extensive research has been conducted to explore the potential of insect meal for various physiological effects in important crustacean and fish species in aquaculture. This paper aims to summarize the relevant literature on these topics and highlight the results of experiments conducted with key species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current and future economic leaders are among the most critical actors in launching and guiding the transition towards a sustainable economy and society; preparing them for this responsibility falls to higher education institutions, especially business schools. In this paper, the authors analyse the external communication of 100 highly ranked business schools to understand how they incorporate the issue of sustainability. Moreover, they also aim to delineate the relationship between their understanding of sustainability and the futures they present. The findings show that in education-related texts, almost half of institutions fail to touch on the issue of sustainability at all, while the other half narrow down the concept to its economic aspects. They also show that a neoliberal worldview is more dominant in the corpus, and that the only aspects of sustainability emphasised by business schools are those which are compatible with this perspective.

Current conceptualizations of mobility futures deal with autonomous mobility. When discussing the societal impacts, questions revolve around ethical issues, while sustainability considerations bring electromobility to the fore. This paper, however, focuses on the concept of 'automobility' and discusses how it is possible to step out of the boundaries presented by the imaginary of automobility. In order to do this, the paper (a) discusses the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries; (b) places this into the literature on 'automobility'; (c) shows the basics of a post-automobility imaginary; (d) and discusses the consequences thereof with regard to digital post-automobility and the emergence of a new mobility ecosystem.

An increasing emphasis is currently placed on the role of different industries in social and ecological transformations. In a 2018 participatory backcasting project, the largest Hungarian marketing communications agency envisioned the future of their industry. Backcasting is a scenario building framework that builds on a normative vision of the future. Without framing discourses, the focus on the role marketing can play in a sustainability transformation shifted. The project provides an example of providing adequate space for employees in “polluting” industries to channel their aspirations on positive social impact and manage tensions on potential negative impacts. They can thus contribute to sustainability transitions and, by reducing personal dissonance, the industry can prevent the loss of its socially responsible members. By sharing this project experience, the present paper contributes to the discourse on making business and social models more sustainable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hungarian A környezeti Kuznets-görbe hipotézis szerint, amennyiben egy koordináta rendszerben ábrázoljuk az egy főre eső jövedelmet (vízszintes tengely) és a környezeti állapot romlását (függőleges tengely), egy fordított U alakú görbe rajzolódik ki. A hipotézis első megjelenése óta közel 30 év telt el, a kutatói közösségben azonban azóta sincs egyetértés a két mutató közötti kapcsolat jellegéről, de még arról sem, hogy mivel érdemes mérni a környezeti állapot romlását. Jelen tanulmány elsődleges célja, hogy strukturáltan bemutassa a hipotézissel kapcsolatos eddigi ismereteket, kitérve a főbb kritikákra is. Az áttekintés azért is aktuális, mert a környezeti Kuznets-görbe hipotézis segíthet rávilágítani arra, hogy mely tényezők határozzák meg a legnagyobb mértékben egy ország környezetének állapotát, így rendkívül fontos szerepe lehet a környezetpolitikai irányelvek meghatározásában. English According to the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis, the relationship between GDP per capita (plotted on the horizontal axis) and environmental degradation (plotted on the vertical axis) forms an inverted U-shaped curve when represented in a coordinate system. Despite nearly three decades having passed since its initial proposal, the research community has yet to reach consensus regarding both the precise nature of this relationship and a universally accepted measure of environmental degradation. This paper aims to systematically review the current state of understanding regarding the EKC hypothesis, including its principal criticisms. This review is particularly timely because the EKC hypothesis has the potential to elucidate the predominant determinants of a nation's environmental condition, thus playing a crucial role in formulating environmental policy frameworks.

Agriculture is the only provider of human food. However, currently demand seems to exceed the limitations of conventional farming practices, as the latter often rely on scarce resources. The focus of agricultural research appears to be shifting towards another approach, namely sustainable farming, which is hoped to pose a solution for the aforementioned issue. Considerable yield and farm resilience are expected from such a practice to withstand and mitigate negative effects of climate change and provide for human well-being. This paper aims to investigate such possibilities focusing on the Carpathian basin’s climate. First, current trends are analyzed, then ecological farming and its challenges are explained in further detail. Finally, agroforestry is introduced as an approach and framework to react to these challenges. As a result, connection points are highlighted which indicate that combining ecological farming with agroforestry could indeed be the basis of a safe and sustainable agriculture.

To address the challenges of sustainable living, there has been a growing role for communities that are organized on a practice basis. This paper examines the characteristics of the learning methods applied by communities of practice (CoPs) in Budapest to foster sustainable consumption and determine how these learning mechanisms support participants to develop a sustainable lifestyle. To answer the questions, an explorative research design based on qualitative methods was applied. The in‐depth interviews were conducted in two consecutive waves. In the first phase, expert interviews were conducted, followed by a second phase involving 20 additional interviews with members of active communities related to ecological and social sustainability. Based on the characteristics of knowledge sharing, there were equally identifiable types of cases in the examined communities, representing one-, two- and three-loop learning, and the learning takes place both on an individual and a collective level. By examining the direction and orientation of learning, it was also found that building and strengthening community consciousness and the existence of multi-loop learning mechanisms contribute to a convergent and constructive social learning outcome.

Libraries cannot confine their activities to merely preserving and providing documents; the wide range of their functions flexibly responds to the rapidly changing needs of society. Besides library services becoming more complex, over the past three decades, since the change of the political system, Hungarian libraries have also adapted to operating within a market economy framework. From public institutions operating under a lot of pressure among their competitors this requires a major shift in perspective, still ongoing today. To remain competitive, five criteria need to be met: (1) Leaders of libraries shall have adequate financial knowledge and management skills. (2) Libraries are required to continuously prove their social utility to their maintainers. (3) There is an increasing focus on effectiveness in the operation of libraries. (4) Embedded participation, in line with each library's type both in nature and intensity, is expected in (regional) economic development. (5) The boundary between traditional and atypical services of libraries is beginning to blur; educational and social engagement needs to be increased. This study examines, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective, the international library innovations connected to the development of (1) digital literacy, (2) financial literacy, and (3) business, integrated into the current global and local, mostly education-oriented set of instruments related to sustainability. The paper also addresses the connections between library financing and economic value creation, and the possible returns on tax money spent on the library system. The analysis is concluded by posing topical questions on cultural economics requiring further research, from the field of library and information science, raised by rapidly changing circumstances (e.g., Covid-19).

The purpose of this article is to examine the digitalization practices of logistics service providers from a sustainability point of view by qualitative methods. Four case studies are introduced in detail and the results suggest that digitalization projects have a rather positive effect in terms of economic sustainability. The environmental performance is not significantly changed, but the CO2 emissions can be reduced. Regarding social issues, digitalisation projects do not affect the number of employees, the projects introduced in the paper rather help companies deal with the current workload of employees and secure a more efficient and creative working environment.

The article aims to provide a review about the main arguments of the discourse regarding the potential transformation, sustainability and survival of global production networks and systems, partly due to the change in economic strategy following the COVID-19 pandemic, relate to the conditions of modern production methods. in the light of external turbulences such as trade war and the increasing geopolitical tensions. Putting production and supply systems on a scientific footing unfolded in the 20th century, and by the end of the century the global economy was spreading around on the globe. The study also reviews the major plant-level production systems and production philosophical methods, examining how they are exposed to different types of turbulence, how vulnerable they are to the supply disruptions caused by COVID-19, as they are the building blocks of the global production system. With the characteristics and vulnerabilities of production systems in mind, we review and examine the main arguments for and against the survival and robustness of global, long supply chains. Furthermore, the arguments have been made for and against the rise of reshoring, regionalization and localization. We will then evaluate them after considering the global trends, economic strategic objectives, and ongoing geopolitical processes. The extent to which the global production system based on long, complex crosscontinental, supply chains may change and the scope for shortening supply chains is still uncertain, but the turbulence caused by the trade war, the COVID-19 epidemic, rising geopolitical tensions and in addition to more expensive transport, given the Russia-Ukraine conflict since early 2022 and its economic consequences, it seems likely that the lines of force in world trade could be significantly redrawn during the next decade.

This paper explores usage of the Internet in relationship to local agro - food products of a tourist destination. The goals are 1) to examine availability of information about local agro - food products using different Internet tools and 2) to predict what types of websites are related to tourists’ searches for information about local agro - food products based on responders’ demographic characteristics. Two studies were conducted. The first included tourists who visited nine seaside tourist resorts, while the second focused on the content of different tourism-related websites. Data were processed using univariate (frequencies and percentages) and multivariate (logistic regression) statistics. Travel social networks and social networks were the most important information sources for tourists, while their demographic characteristics were somewhat significant in searching for information. Search engines were not very useful. Websites of tourism companies, tourist boards and local authorities provided some information.

The importance of the relationship between sports events and sustainability is increasingly recognized and investigated within the scientific community, as growing attention is directed towards ensuring that sports events not only promote competition but also encourage sustainable development. The aim of the study is to present the sustainability management of domestic sports events as a best practice, with particular attention to the consideration of the United Nations' sustainable development principles. The research employs secondary research methods, including a literature review on the interconnections between sports and sustainability, as well as an analysis of the sustainability regulations and statutes of sports federations. Furthermore, local sports events are presented as case studies of best practices in sustainability management. The results indicate that international sports federations are progressively adopting the United Nations' sustainable development principles, and several sports federations are engaging in the organization of sustainable sports events, extending this activity to their member organizations. Based on these best practices, it can be inferred that sustainable sports events are becoming increasingly inherent to the nature of sports events, thereby contributing to social and environmental sustainability.
