About
Dr. Bartolomeo Dichio is a leading researcher in sustainable horticulture, with a primary focus on the environmental impact of fruit tree orchard management. His work centers on quantifying the carbon and water footprints of perennial cropping systems, aiming to reconcile high-quality fruit production with ecological stewardship. His most cited paper, "Effect of sustainable production systems on carbon and water footprint in fruit tree orchards" (2016), presented at the prestigious XXIX International Horticultural Congress, provides critical data on how alternative management practices—such as reduced tillage, cover cropping, and precision irrigation—can mitigate resource use and greenhouse gas emissions. Though his citation count is modest, this work has been foundational for researchers and practitioners seeking evidence-based strategies for climate-resilient agriculture. Dr. Dichio’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between physiological plant science and practical, on-farm sustainability metrics. His research continues to inform international guidelines for sustainable fruit production, making him a key voice in the global conversation on horticulture’s role in achieving food system sustainability.
