Science of The Total Environment, 2020
World food production is directly related to human population growth. Chemicals are constantly applied to pest control in crops to increase productivity. Therefore, sustainable alternatives are needed to reduce environmental impacts. The biochemical responses in liver and muscle of Astyanax lacustris collected in different rice planting systems were ...

Biological Agriculture & Horticulture, 1998
ABSTRACTBiological dairy farming is often advocated as a solution for environmental problems caused by Dutch dairy farming. At the same time, biological farming can improve animal welfare and increase income due to a higher milk price. In this paper the central issue is to quantify economic and environmental consequences for dairy farms when converting
