Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.Climate shocks and the agroecology–resilience nexus of smallholders. Summary of key findings: Agroecology increases smallholder resilience capacity by 8.7% in the short term under a decreased rainfall scenario, a projected 11% decline in precipitation reduces resilience by 5.6% and 14.2% in the short and long terms, respectively, and a policy‐induced ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Advantage of Sesame and Cowpea Intercrops in Different Fertilizer Application Systems [PDF]
Ikufīziyuluzhī-i Giyāhān-i Zirā̒ī, 2017 To investigate the effects of different fertilizer applications and sesame/cowpea intercropping systems on soil fertility, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted in Fasa, Fars province, during 2014. The main plots

High‐density mutation tracks are associated with proton‐beam irradiation patterns in Sorghum bicolor
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Induced mutagenesis is a cornerstone of crop functional genomics, yet the extent to which distinct radiation sources reshape the spatial distribution of mutations remains difficult to evaluate in reduced‐representation datasets. Here, we analyze a published genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) panel (192,040 loci) to compare proton‐beam and gamma ...

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Agribusiness, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 1556-1571, Summer 2026.ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers are reverting to traditional production methods due to the high opportunity costs and unintended consequences of new technologies. This study focuses on row planting technology, which is labor‐intensive and slow without mechanized operations.

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract Deforestation is primarily driven by three main factors the conversion of the Amazon rainforest into pastureland, agriculture, and mining, as well as land invasion. These pastures are mostly degraded, and it is necessary to restore their productive capacity. Microbial inoculants can be used to increase nutrient use efficiency. The objective of

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT A global shift from diets rich in animal‐based products toward plant‐based diets has been widely promoted as a key strategy for creating more sustainable food systems. However, the adoption of plant‐based alternatives depends on multiple factors, including consumer preferences, sensory quality, product affordability, and availability, in ...

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is an underutilized protein‐rich pulse with strong potential to diversify the alternative protein market, particularly through sustainable fractionation strategies. However, comparative insights into how dry and hybrid routes influence protein structure, functionality, and nutritional quality within the same ...
