Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.

ABSTRACT Technological progress and population growth have increased global pork demand; leading to a rise of methane emission from pig farming, a key contributor to climate change. Anaerobic digestion offers a sustainable solution by converting manure into biogas.

ABSTRACT This study aims to identify the main types, drivers, and solutions for food loss and waste (FLW) as reported by stakeholders within the UK food manufacturing sector from a Circular Economy perspective. Based on insights from diagramming‐based workshops involving 35 participants working in an organisation in the sector, FLW occurs primarily as ...

Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

Electrolysis‐treated biosolids enhance wheat growth and alter soil health parameters
Abstract Biosolid‐based fertilizers can benefit agriculture by supporting circular nutrient economies, reducing fertilizer costs, and minimizing environmental impacts compared to inorganic fertilizers. A 125‐day greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effects of electrolysis‐treated biosolids on wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and soil ...

Carbon recycling, energy flux, and mercury dynamics along a river affected by multiple disturbances
Abstract Small hydroelectric power plants, such as run‐of‐river dams (RORs), are increasingly promoted as low‐impact renewable energy sources, yet their disturbance on mercury (Hg) cycling remains poorly evaluated in impact assessments. Recent work suggests that ROR impacts may be underestimated, as transient Hg increases were observed in fish ...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a naturally-occurring biological process in soils, sediments, ruminants, and several other anoxic environments, that cycles carbon and other nutrients, and converts organic matter into a methane-rich gas. As a biotechnology, AD is now well-established for the treatment of the organic fraction of various waste materials ...

ABSTRACT Biochar is a promising soil management strategy to reduce reactive nitrogen (Nr) losses from agricultural soils, and replacing mineral fertilizers with organic amendments (OAs) can improve soil health and enhance nutrient recycling. We conducted a three‐year field experiment with maize (Zea mays) in Lower Austria to compare organic waste ...
