Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S31-S46, May 2026.
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

Integrative genome-wide association and haplotype-based analyses reveal genetic structure and local adaptation in Korean landrace soybeans

BMC Plant Biology
Background Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a major crop valued for both food and industrial applications. The genetic diversity preserved within landrace accessions serves as a critical resource for improving agronomic traits and enhancing adaptation to ...

Local canopy cover, shade tree identity and landscape tree cover shape leaf‐cutter ant nest density and herbivory in cacao agroforestry systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings provide practical guidance for agroforestry management by demonstrating that intercropping with selected species can mitigate damage from leaf‐cutter ants in cacao agroforests. At the landscape scale, high tree cover was associated with low herbivory rates, emphasising the need to maintain or restore forested habitats.

Seasonal mass‐flowering events dominate landscape effects on plant–pollinator network structure

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
To better support plant–pollinator communities in agricultural‐dominated landscapes, we suggest incentivizing the planting of complementary floral resources and preserving or restoring semi‐natural habitat areas. Especially in intensively used agroecosystems, the negative effects of mass‐flowering crops can be mitigated by maintaining flower‐rich edge ...
