Agriculture and undernutrition by Headey, Derek D., Masters, William A.

“…Second, this chapter focuses on undernutrition-defined as insufficient intake of nutrients and healthy foods relative to biological needs, and the resulting deficiencies such as anemia and failure to achieve a child’s genetic potential such as linear growth-rather than problems linked to excessive intake of total energy, salt, and harmful foods that lead to obesity and diet-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. …”

Mechanisms behind high N2O emissions from livestock enclosures in Kenya revealed by dual-isotope and functional gene analyses by Xiantao Fang, Harris, S.J., Leitner, Sonja, Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus, Conz, R.F., Merbold, Lutz, Dannenmann, M., Oyugi, A., Shuwei Liu, Jianwen Zou, Six, Johan, Barthel, M.

“…The abundances of denitrification-related genes (nirK and narG) were significantly higher than those of nitrification-related genes (amoA: AOA and AOB) in the cattle manure samples taken from the bomas, corroborating N2O emissions largely being attributed to denitrification. …”
