Abstract In climate change–vulnerable, food‐insecure semi‐arid regions of Sub‐Saharan Africa, limited studies compared the performance of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)] landraces and improved genotypes under staggered sowing to establish their interactions, resulting in a generalization that landraces are lower yielding than their improved ...

Black walnut alley cropping is economically competitive with row crops in the Midwest
AbstractThe maize–soybean rotation (MSR) dominates the Midwest United States and degrades many ecological functions. Black walnut (Juglans nigraL.) plantation forestry (PF) and alley cropping (AC) are two alternative land‐uses that can enhance productivity and restore ecosystem services. Given the lack of robust market mechanisms to monetize ecosystems

Many regions across New Zealand experience cold, wet winters with low pasture growth. Consequently, farmers often rely on winter forage crops to feed cows, resulting in challenges with animal welfare, environmental damage and operational difficulties. Despite the potential of off‐paddock facilities to overcome negative outcomes of crop wintering, only ...

Abstract Meteorological drought, one of the most destructive natural hazards, is driven by both precipitation deficits and high evaporative demand. While precipitation has traditionally been considered the dominant driver, recent studies suggest an increasing influence of evaporative demand.
