Fruitful controversies in sustainable livestock production: beyond the intensive versus extensive livestock polarization in nonforest ecosystems by Litre, Gabriela, Lagrange, Sebastian Pablo, Arbeletche, Pedro, Champredonde, Marcelo, Bolletta, Andrea Ivana

“…Grain-finished beef systems, on the other hand, may contribute to the reduction of air quality through the emissions of particulate substances and gases, while they may present negative environmental impacts, as they require longer finishing periods (10–12 months) and more animals and land to produce the same quantity (not necessarily quality) of beef. …”

Glyphosate runoff and its occurrence in rainwater and subsurface soil in the nearby area of agricultural fields in Argentina by Lupi, Leonardo, Bedmar, Francisco, Puricelli, Marino Marcelo, Marino, Damián, Aparicio, Virginia Carolina, Wunderlin, Daniel, Miglioranza, Karina S.B.

“…Although the experimental application was made with hand-held knapsack under low wind condition to minimize glyphosate aerial dispersion, the spray drift was the main source of glyphosate off-site transport, degrading air quality and rainwater for human consumption. The balance among spray drift, runoff and soil absorption of glyphosate when it was sprayed close to the soil surface (hand held equipment), demonstrated the importance of spray drift in mass balance studies during runoff and leaching experiments with glyphosate.…”

The fate of nitrogen during agricultural intensification in East Africa: nitrogen budgets in contrasting agroecosystems by Tully, Katherine L., Hickman, J.E., Russo, T.A., Neill, C., Matata, P., Nyadzi, G., Mutuo, P., Palm, C.A.

“…The intensification of agricultural systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is necessary to reduce poverty and improve food security, but increased nutrient applications in smallholder systems could have negative consequences for water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and air quality. We tracked nitrogen (N) inputs and measured maize (Zea mays) biomass, grain yields, N leaching, and nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide fluxes from a clayey soil in Yala, Kenya and a sandy soil in Tumbi, Tanzania, with application rates of 0, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 kg N ha−1 yr−1 over two cropping seasons. …”

Fertilizer use soil health and agricultural sustainability by Krasilnikov, Pavel, Taboada, Miguel Angel, Amanullah

“…Soil health is defined as the capacity of soil to function as a vital living system, within ecosystem and land-use boundaries, to sustain plant and animal health and productivity, and maintain or improve water and air quality. A major challenge for agricultural sustainability is to conserve ecosystem service delivery while optimizing agricultural yields. …”
