Agroecology represents a paradigm for just transitions in food systems amidst global ecological, economic, and health related crises. It has gained international prominence and legitimacy in the realms of science, practice, and social movements. Based on principles developed through the study of peasant agriculture and indigenous and regional foodways,

Nitrogen Fertilization Temporarily Enhances Phosphatase Activity in a High‐P Loamy Sand
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Efficient plant utilization of soil phosphorus (P) is essential to reduce dependence on mineral P fertilizers in intensive agriculture. Input of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers and its chemical form may influence the activity of P mineralizing enzymes, but how this interaction operates under field conditions in a soil with high P ...

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 104-112, March 2025.Abstract Background Bread made from refined Triticum aestivum L. flour, a staple food in large parts of the world, is considered a nutrient security risk. Strategies used to enhance the nutritional and functional properties of wheat‐derived food products include the use of semi‐ or wholegrain flour, old genotypes, and enrichment through fortification ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...
