Adsorption of humic substances on ferrihydrite affects its use as iron source by plants
Agricultural and Food Science, 2020 Poorly crystalline Fe oxides are sources of Fe to plants. The adsorption of humic substances (HS) on these oxides alters its reactivity and stability in soils, and thus may affect Fe mobilization and uptake by plants from these compounds. This work aimed

Agroforestry for All – Walnut Agroforestry in Warwickshire
The Organic Grower, 2023 "10% agroforestry land-use mandatory for every organic farm" is the call from the European Organic-PLUS and AGROMIX research projects led by Coventry University's Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR). This impact is being discussed by certification bodies and may become UK/EU organic and agroecological standard at the next 'organic-plus'

Probabilistic Assessment of Investment Options in Honey Value Chains in Lamu County, Kenya
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018 Designing and implementing biodiversity-based value chains can be a complex undertaking, especially in places where outcomes are uncertain and risks of project failure and cost overruns are high. We used the Stochastic Impact Evaluation (SIE) approach to
