A novel seasonal-spatial integrated model for improving the economic-environmental performance of crop production
Excess agricultural nitrogen, mainly from manure and chemical fertilizers, is a primary source of nutrient pollution and presents serious environmental threats to natural ecosystems and human health.
Ensuring resilient food systems and sustainable healthy diets for all requires much higher water use, however, water resources are finite, geographically dispersed, volatile under climate change, and required for other vital functions including ec
Tri-trophic defenses as a central pivot of low-emission, pest-suppressive farming systems
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the intricate connections between human and planetary health.
The role of water in transforming food systems
The United Nations Food Systems Summit aimed to chart a path toward transforming food systems toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Smart subsidies for sustainable soils: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial in southern Malawi
Evidence on the effectiveness of a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program in Southern Malawi encouraging the adoption of soil conservation practices, specifically conservation agriculture
Changing patterns in genebank acquisitions of crop genetic materials: An analysis of global policy drivers and potential consequences
During the past two decades, a series of global policy changes affecting genetic resource conservation, use, and exchange have entered into force: the 2004 International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), and mor
Increasing demands for agricultural commodities are resulting in more intensely managed landscapes. This is at odds with biodiversity conservation and largely ignores farmland biodiversity’s supporting function for high and stable yields.
