Urban food systems governance in Africa: Toward a realistic model for transformation por Haysom, Gareth, Battersby, Jane

“…Until recently, Africanists have largely ignored, or were openly hostile to, almost all aspects of a wider urban agenda, focusing instead on issues such as the peasantry, agriculture, natural resource use or national sovereignty. Food insecurity therefore has been framed as predominantly experienced in rural areas, and to be addressed by increased agricultural production, and food and cities are seldom seen as being spatially connected and mutually dependent on one another in African food system discourses. …”

Structure and floristic of secondary and old growth stands in lowland Costa Rica por Guariguata, Manuel R., Chazdon, R.L., Denslow, J.S., Dupuy, J.M., Anderson, L.

“…Because the potential value of secondary forests in conserving woody plant diversity appears highest for the young size classes, we suggest that further studies on floristic composition, especially those addressing the dynamics of the understorey component, are needed to refine our understanding of the role of this natural resource in the maintenance of plant biodiversity in disturbed landscapes.…”

Testing the impact of social forces on the evolution of Sahelian farming systems: a combined agent-based modeling and anthropological approach por Saqalli, M., Gerard, Bruno G., Bielders, Charles L., Defourny, Pierre

“…Results from simulations with no social transition processes show that villages specialize themselves into different economic activities according to natural resource specificities: A decreasing intensification gradient is observed from the most favoured site, with more local productions and good ecological indicators, to the less-favoured site, with a growing proportion of the population wealth coming from migration remittances and “off-shore” livestock. …”

Carbon sustainability and productivity of maize based cropping system under conservation agriculture practices in Indo-Gangetic plains por Jat SL, Parihar CM, Singh, A.K., Jat, Mangi Lal, Jat, Kumar Raj

“…Tillage practices contribute greatly to the labour cost in modern intensive agriculture in any crop production system resulting in lower economic returns, especially in developing countries where there is most concern for sustainable production without degradation of the natural resource base (Jat et al., 2008). The traditional practice of growing these crops has limitations such as inconvenient input management when sown by broadcasting: improper plant geometry; uneven plant population resulting in inefficient utilization of space; and plant competition leading to low productivity and input efficiency. …”
