Integrating Social-Ecological and Political-Ecological Models of Agrobiodiversity With Nutrient Management of Keystone Food Spaces to Support SDG 2

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Agrobiodiversity—the biodiversity of food, agriculture, and land use—is essential to U.N. Sustainable Development Goal 2 by providing crucial food and nutritional quality of diets combined with strengthening agroecological sustainability. Focusing on the

Field data on pre-season rice straw degradation using a microbial substrate and the effects on methane emissions during rice cultivation

Data in Brief, 2023
Rice straw is one of the most abundant biomass wastes derived from rice cultivation activities. The current rice straw management practice during the wet (rainy) season in Malaysia involves the integration of straw into the soil.

Genetic Analyses and Genomic Predictions of Root Rot Resistance in Common Bean Across Trials and Populations

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Root rot in common bean is a disease that causes serious damage to grain production, particularly in the upland areas of Eastern and Central Africa where significant losses occur in susceptible bean varieties. Pythium spp. and Fusarium spp. are among the

Transgenic crops, production risk and agrobiodiversity [PDF]

European Review of Agricultural Economics, 2014
Do transgenic crops cause agrobiodiversity erosion? We hypothesize that they increase productivity and reduce production risk and may therefore reduce farmer demand for on-farm varietal diversity, especially when only a few transgenic varieties are available.
