Agroecological transition: A viability model to assess soil restoration

Natural Resource Modeling, 2017
AbstractSince the 1950s, intensive and specialized agricultural systems using a few select species and relying heavily on agrochemical inputs have enabled a huge increase in food production. However, in parallel, drawbacks appeared including biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emission, erosion, and water pollution.

Trade‐Offs and Synergies in Cultivated Land Multifunctionality and Zoning Management in the Dongting Lake Region: A Multiscale Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the multiscale patterns and interactions of cultivated land multifunctionality is important for conservation, governance, and agricultural spatial optimization in the Dongting Lake region. Using 2020 data, we evaluated economic production (EPF), social security (SSF), landscape‐based recreation (LRF), and ecological maintenance ...

Improving Soil Health and Crop Yields Through Conservation Agriculture and Nutrient Management in Central India

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining soil health and crop productivity in the semi‐arid Vertisols of central India poses a significant challenge under intensive agricultural practices. This 6‐year field study assessed the combined impact of different tillage methods, maize‐based crop rotations, and nitrogen management on soil's physical, chemical, and biological ...

Accompanying Agroecological Transitions - Research for Engineering

, 2022
La transition agroécologique (TAE) des systèmes d’élevage doit contribuer à répondre à la remise en cause des pratiques d’élevage et à leurs finalités. La mettre en œuvre n’est cependant pas sans poserde question pour les éleveurs ainsi que pour l’ensemble des acteurs intervenant dans l’élevage.

Acción colectiva para la transición agroecológica en el altiplano Boliviano

L'Ordinaire des Amériques
To facilitate a transition from conventional agriculture, it is imperative to strengthen the links between politics and agroecology. Agroecology should not be understood only as the result of a series of physical and biological properties, because it ...

A Land Potential‐Based Framework for Wind Erosion and Sand and Dust Storm Source Mitigation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind erosion and sand and dust storms are a global challenge. While many management practices to mitigate sources of wind erosion and sand and dust storms have been documented, existing guidance largely emphasizes what practices are available, with limited information on where and under what ecological conditions they should be applied.
