Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...

Eco‐Friendly Bioplastic Film Produced With Green Plantain Starch (Musa paradisiaca L.): Effect of Activated Carbon Addition and Hydrothermal Modification

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Activated Carbon as a Reinforcing Material for Starch Bioplastics. ABSTRACT Eco‐friendly starch‐based bioplastic films reinforced with activated carbon (AC) were produced using green plantain starch in its native and heat‐moisture treatment (HMT) forms to overcome typical limitations of starch materials, such as low mechanical strength and poor water ...

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Wheat breeding approaches for designing wheat to thrive in a warmer world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wheat is a vital food crop, accounting for approximately 20% of daily calories and protein consumed worldwide. However, modern‐day wheat is under pressure from global change. The improvement rate of wheat yields is not keeping up with the demand of our growing population. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic stressors are becoming more prevalent. This paper

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculation increases the bioavailability of zinc and iron in wheat grain

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Bread wheat is an important crop that supplies calories and nutrients to the global population. Enhancing the concentrations and bioavailability of essential micronutrients in wheat is crucial for human nutrition, and we investigated whether arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can contribute to the biofortification of wheat.
