Lobeniza: The outcome of an agroecological adaptive pathway in a rural food system undergoing transformation

Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.
Abstract Local food systems in southern Mexico are increasingly affected by water scarcity, climate variability, and peri‐urban change. Despite growing scholarship on adaptive strategies and agroecology, limited empirical evidence explains how long‐term organizational dynamics translate agroecological principles into sustained adaptation under changing

Enhancing Neglected and Underutilized Crop Species (NUCS) in Nepal: Unlocking Their Potential for Climate Resilience, Food Security, and Agrobiodiversity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The global dominance of a few major cereal crops has led to the marginalization of traditional species, reducing agrobiodiversity and increasing the vulnerability of food systems. Changing climate conditions, particularly intensifying drought stress, further threaten global food security.

Strategies and Recent Advancements in the Fabrication of GO–Based Nanocomposites for Drug Degradation: Exploring Morphological Topography and Economic Feasibility

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Graphene oxide (GO)–based nanocomposites (NCs) have gained attention as practical materials for environmental cleanup, especially in addressing solar‐driven catalysis for drug degradation, which poses a significant challenge due to the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and environmental pollution. This review critically evaluates recent
