From uniformity to diversity: a paradigm shift from industrial agriculture to diversified agroecological systems por Frison, Emile A., International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food systems

“…Today’s food and farming systems have succeeded in supplying large volumes of foods to global markets, but are generating negative outcomes on multiple fronts: widespread degradation of land, water and ecosystems; high GHG emissions; biodiversity losses; persistent hunger and micro-nutrient deficiencies alongside the rapid rise of obesity and diet-related diseases; and livelihood stresses for farmers around the world. …”

In praise of meat, milk and eggs por Cherfas, Jeremy

“…One is to ensure that more animal foods doesn’t mean greater emissions of greenhouse gases. The other is to manage food safety as the demand for animal source foods grow. …”

Global Sequestration Potential of Increased Organic Carbon in Cropland Soils por Zomer, Robert J., Bossio, Deborah A., Sommer, Rolf, Verchot, Louis V.

“…The role of soil organic carbon in global carbon cycles is receiving increasing attention both as a potentially large and uncertain source of CO2 emissions in response to predicted global temperature rises, and as a natural sink for carbon able to reduce atmospheric CO2. …”

The potential for commercial hay production in Kenya por Dijk, Suzanne van, Wilkes, Andreas, Odhong’, Charles

“…Increasing fodder supply, supported by advice provided to farmers on feed ration balancing has great potential to enable farmers to increase on- farm productivity, reduce the dip in milk production during the dry season, increase incomes and reduce GHG emission intensity. With a current large hay deficit in the country as well as financially viable business models, great potential exists for commercial hay value chains. …”

Willingness to pay for renewable energy among Indian small and medium-sized enterprises : a contingent valuation experiment por Wakuma, Samuel Tafesse

“…To limit climatic change, humans must achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. India, as a large emerging economy, could substantially contribute towards this goal by transforming its energy system. …”

Plant-plant communication - possible mechanisms and benefits por Hedsén, Maria

“…A collocation of behavioural patterns indicates that the emitted cues are not aimed for other plants. The reason for the emission of these cues is to communicate with mutualists and offspring. …”

Alternate wetting and drying and its influence on zoonotic disease vectors in northern Vietnam : can changing the rice-growing method reduce the presence of Japanese encephaliti... por Norrman, Sandra

“…Growing rice with alternate wetting and drying (AWD) methodology reduces water consumption at the same time as it contributes to a reduction in greenhouse gas emission. In this study, mosquitoes and mosquito larvae were collected at ricegrowing farmers’ households, comparing the number of mosquitoes at households using AWD with households practicing conventional methods. …”

Klostridier och jästsvamp i ensilage – orsak, verkan och samverkan por Costa, Madelene

Root-Induced Solubilization of Phosphate in the Rhizosphere of Lowland Rice por Saleque, M.A., Kirk, G.J.D.

“…The zone of P depletion was 4–6 mm wide, increasing with P addition, and coincided with a zone of acidification in which the pH fell from near 6 in the soil bulk to less than 4 near the roots. The acidification was due to H+ generated in oxidation of Fe2+ by root‐released O2, and to H+ released from the roots to balance excess intake of cations over anions. …”
