Economic valuation of ecosystem services of selected interventions in agriculture in India by Kumara T M, Kiran, Birthal, Pratap Singh, Meena, Dinesh Chand, Kumar, Anjani

“…Through a meta-analysis of the existing evidence on ecosystem services, this study attempts to estimate the value of ecosystem services by using direct and indirect valuation methods—for example, carbon sequestration, methane emission, nutrient availability, biological nitrogen fixation, and water saving—generated by several important technological and agronomic interventions, namely the direct seeding of rice (DSR), zero-tillage in wheat, leguminous crops, organic manure, integrated nutrient management, and agroforestry, based on studies conducted in India. …”

Pathways towards sustainability: A capacity needs assessment for the implementation of the Colombian Policy for Sustainable Cattle 2022–2050 by Sandoval Yate, Danny Fernando, Triana Ángel, Natalia, Burkart, Stefan

“…Cattle farming is one of the main agricultural activities in Colombia, but its mainly extensive nature generates significant social and environmental impacts, such as land grabbing, agricultural frontier expansion, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation. To transform cattle systems towards sustainability, the Policy Guidelines for Sustainable Cattle 2022–2050 (LPGBS) were launched in 2022, resulting from conversations between sector institutions and the national government. …”

Direct and indirect effects of planting density, nitrogenous fertilizer and host plant resistance on rice herbivores and their natural enemies by Horgan, Finbarr G., Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo, Stuart, Alexander M., Villegas, James M., Peñalver-Cruz, Ainara, Mundaca, Enrique A., Perez, Marivic O., Bernal, Carmencita C., Almazan, Maria Liberty P., Ramal, Angelee F.

“…In rice ecosystems, seeding densities can be adjusted to compensate for lower nitrogen levels that reduce GHG emissions, or to increase farm profitability. However, density-induced changes to plant anatomy could affect herbivore-rice interactions, and alter arthropod community dynamics. …”

Feasibility of biochar technology to support the sustainable intensification and decarbonization of cocoa production in West-Africa by Pulleman, Mirjam, Hougni, Deo-Gratias, Rahn, Eric, Barrio, Julian, Coppus, Ruben, Nguyen, Thuy Thanh, Roobroeck, dries, Talsma, Tiffany

“…The carbon removal potential of biochar is fully realised only if its production is coupled with bioenergetic applications that displace GHG emissions from non-sustainably sourced energy. In the most plausible scenario, the woody pruned residues and cocoa pod husks are gasified in improved cookstoves yielding ~20% biochar. …”
