STELLAR‐CB: Synthetic Temporal LSTM for Livestock Activity Recognition—Cow Behaviour
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.This study introduces a novel framework combining LSTM networks with SMOTE to address class imbalance in precision livestock farming. It improves the detection of rare behaviours in livestock, achieving state‐of‐the‐art performance while reducing computational overhead, offering a practical, breed‐agnostic solution for enhancing automated behaviour ...

It's bean too long: Interventions to reintroduce legumes to the UK palate and plate
Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.Increased legume consumption can offer considerable health and sustainability benefits. Legume intake in the UK is low, and a number of barriers to intake have been identified. Adopting the Nuffield Council on Bioethics Intervention Ladder, we identify and review an array of interventions—with increasing levels of intervening—that could support ...

Assessing Basis Risk in Margin Insurance for Beef Cattle Farming in Brazil
Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Price volatility in agricultural markets directly affects the financial viability of rural producers, particularly in sectors characterized by narrow profit margins and long production cycles, such as beef cattle production. Futures contracts and agricultural insurance are commonly used to mitigate this risk; however, both instruments are ...

From Meat to Plant‐Based Products? The Enduring Impact of BSE on Beef Consumption
Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT This study reassesses the impact of the historical BSE outbreak on EU diets, showing that consumption patterns shifted persistently even after policy actions eliminated the food safety risk. Utilizing advanced difference‐in‐differences techniques on 1980–2020 data, we demonstrate that while beef consumption exhibited a transient U‐shaped ...
