Agricultural multifunctionality and trade liberalisation. [PDF]

Cahiers d'Economie et sociologie rurales, 2007
Les auteurs utilisent un modèle de commerce international en équilibre partiel pour analyser les interactions entre politiques tarifaire et environnementale en présence de bénéfices liés au caractère multifonctionnel de l’agriculture. Ils montrent que la libéralisation des échanges est sous-optimale si elle ne s’accompagne pas d’une politique ...

The potential of cashew by-product processing for a more sustainable agri-food system

Discover Sustainability
In most cashew-producing countries, cashew apples, by-products of cashew nut production, remain largely unused despite their nutritional value. Similarly, cashew nut shells, a by-product of nut processing, are often wasted, even though they contain a ...

Ultrafast Thermal Shock Synthesis of CuNiSnLa Medium‐Entropy Metallic Glass for Sustainable Nitrogen Fixation via Plasma‐Coupled Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces an ultrafast thermal shock strategy to synthesize a CuNiSnLa medium‐entropy metallic glass (MEMG). The rapid heating and cooling process generates a robust, highly active catalyst for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NRA).

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Gradient‐Conductivity Architecture Enables Synchronous Enhancement of Sensitivity and Detection Range in Multifunctional All‐Paper Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A gradient‐engineered all‐paper sensor is fabricated by integrating MXene and in situ grown AgNPs within hierarchical cellulose networks. The device breaks the sensitivity–detection range trade‐off through cascaded conductive pathways, enabling ultrahigh pressure sensitivity, humidity–pressure decoupled dual‐mode sensing, and outstanding EMI shielding,
