3N Agriculture: Growing the greenest tomorrow
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract The global food system must confront the intertwined challenges of feeding a growing population, reversing environmental degradation, and improving nutrition. While past agricultural innovations improved yields, they often undermined sustainability and food quality. In response, we propose the 3N Agriculture framework—Net‐Zero, Nature‐Positive,

Corn response to broiler litter total cleanout frequency
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter is a valuable nutrient source for corn (Zea mays L.) production in the southeastern United States; however, differences in total cleanout frequency of broiler houses may influence the agronomic value of broiler litter. A 3‐year field study was established on Decatur silt loam and Malbis sandy clay loam
