Association between dietary patterns and depressive symptoms over time: A 10-year follow-up study of the GAZEL cohort por Le Port, Agnès, Gueguen, Alice, Kesse-Guyot, Emmanuelle, Melchior, Maria, Lemogne, Cédric, Nabi, Hermann, Goldberg, Marcel, Zins, Marie, Czernichow, Sébastien

“…Conversely, the highest quartile of traditional diet (characterized by fish and fruit consumption) was associated with a lower likelihood of depressive symptoms in women compared to the lowest quartile, with OR = 0.63 [95%CI, 0.50 to 0.80], as the healthy pattern (characterized by vegetables consumption) with OR = 0.72 [95%CI, 0.63 to 0.83] and OR = 0.75 [95%CI, 0.61 to 0.93] in men and women, respectively. However, there was probably a reverse causality effect for the healthy pattern. …”

Combiner les intrants internes et externes pour une intensification durable de l'agriculture por Ruben, Ruerd, Lee, David R.

“…L'agriculture reposant sur un niveau peu élevé d'intrants extérieurs (LEIA) s'est rapidement imposée comme une alternative stimulante ou, plus fréquemment, comme un complément aux technologies de la Révolution Verte...Les programmes qui encouragent le développement des technologies LEIA ont le plus de succès lorsque les intrants disponibles localement sont combinés avec des intrants externes soigneusement utilisés. ...Trouver la combinaison optimale entre intrants internes et externes est un processus complexe aux enjeux élevés. Il est probable que les petits fermiers bénéficient moins de cette technologie et l'abandonnent lorsque l'accès aux intrants externes complémentaires n'est pas assuré. …”

Why is child malnutrition lower in urban than rural areas? evidence from 36 developing countries por Smith, Lisa C., Ruel, Marie T., Ndiaye, Aida

“…The conclusion is that better nutritional status of urban children is probably due to the cumulative effect of a series of more favorable socioeconomic conditions, which, in turn, seems to lead to better caring practices for children and their mothers. …”

On-site and off-Site long-term economic impacts of soil fertility management practices: The case of maize-based cropping systems in Kenya por Nkonya, Ephraim M., Gicheru, Patrick, Woelcke, Johannes, Okoba, Barrack, Kilambya, Daniel W., Gachimbi, Louis N.

“…The analysis of on-site effects focuses on the profitability of maize production at the farm level, while the examined off-site effects include carbon sequestration and siltation from maize farms, which increase the cost of potable water production. The major contribution of this study is the use of long-term experimental data to estimate the impacts of land management practices on crop yield and consider their off-site benefits and costs. …”

Use Case - Delivering Contextualized Climate Information in two Districts of Odisha and Understanding Farmer Decision-Making: A case study in Odisha por Kumar, Shalander, Kumar, G. Kishore, Roa, K.P.C.

“…For decisions on crop and cultivar choice, farmers didn’t intend to use the weather-based agro-advisories yet. Probably, advisories based on the seasonal climate forecast needed for decisions on crop and cultivar choices in the past either were not available or less reliable, resulting in the reluctance of farmers to use such advisories. …”
