Editorial: Realizing livelihood and environmental benefits of forages in tropical crop-tree-livestock systems por Chirinda, Ngonidzashe, Peters, Michael, Burkart, Stefan, Notenbaert, An Maria Omer, Hoek, Rein van der

“…Narjes Sanchez et al. ( 2021) also provide critical insights into the possible role of tropical forage legumes in pollinator conservation efforts, income generation, and closing the forage legume seed bottleneck that still limits further advances in sustainable intensification efforts of the cattle sector as of today.In addition to providing food, the livestock sector can generate ecosystem benefits such as increased onfarm agro-biodiversity, soil restoration, mitigation of GHG emissions and more efficient use of nutrients and water resources. …”

The political economy of food system transformation: Pathways to progress in a polarized world por Resnick, Danielle, Swinnen, Johan

“…Moreover, food systems are no longer just responsible for generating sufficient calories but also are expected to meet a whole host of other objectives, including racial and gender justice, human rights, and the preservation of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge. Yet, not only are food systems changing but so are politics; a wave of populism over the last decade has caused misinformation and ideological bias to compete with rigorous analysis when informing policy recommendations. …”

Trade-offs or synergies?: assessment of ecosystem services in multi-use small reservoirs in Burkina Faso [Abstract only] por Balana, Bedru

“…Along the lines of the surge in thoughts in ‘ecosystem services’, SRs, besides irrigation use, could generate multiple benefits such as improved access to domestic water, enhance women’s position, recreation, livelihood diversification, fisheries, water availability for livestock, limiting floods, and increased biodiversity. On the other hand, SRs may have unwanted side-effects such as environmental deterioration, decrease in water quality, adverse health impacts (e.g., harbour mosquitos), and reduce environmental flows and ground water recharge. …”

A hard-to-keep promise: Vegetation use and aboveground carbon storage in silvopastures of the Dry Chaco por Fernandez, Pedro David, de Waroux, Yann le Polain, Jobbagy Gampel, Esteban Gabriel, Loto, Dante E., Gasparri, Néstor Ignacio

“…In dry woodland regions, silvopastures have emerged as a promising option to balance cattle production, carbon storage and biodiversity. However, one of the major challenges in these systems, particularly when implemented in a matrix of natural vegetation, is the preservation of tree populations in the face of management actions implemented by ranchers to control woody encroachment. …”

Cattle dry manure fertilization increases forage yield of grass-legume mixtures, while maintaining the legume proportion and root-associated microbiota por Oyharcabal, Estefanía, Covacevich, Fernanda, Bain, Ingrid, Acuña, Claudina Soledad, Berone, German Dario

“…The aim of this study was to find ways to improve the forage yield of grass-legume mixtures without compromising soil biodiversity. In Argentinean Patagonia, the effects of applying cattle dry manure (M) and urea (U) (0, 60, 120, or 240 kg N ha−1 year−1) were assessed on herbage production of irrigated fescue-lotus mixtures, as well as on the activity/abundance of autochthonous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and N-fixing rhizobium bacteria. …”
