Positive but variable effects of crop diversification on biodiversity and ecosystem services
Global Change Biology, 2021 Ecological theory suggests that biodiversity has a positive and stabilizing effect on the delivery of ecosystem services. Yet, the impacts of increasing the diversity of cultivated crop species or varieties in agroecosystems are still under scrutiny. The

Crop Foraging, Crop Losses, and Crop Raiding [PDF]
Annual Review of Anthropology, 2018 Crop foraging or crop raiding concerns wildlife foraging and farmers’ reactions and responses to it. To understand crop foraging and its value to wildlife or its implications for humans requires a cross-disciplinary approach that considers the behavior and ecology of wild animals engaging in this behavior; the types and levels of competition for ...

Minor Crops: A Path towards Crop Diversification [PDF]
International Journal of Current Science Research and Review, 2021 With passage of time, there has been paradigm shift observed in dietary intake of people henceforth disturbing the balance of nutrients required by the body. Due to the leap towards major cereal crops to feed the growing population, impetus towards minor crops have observed a continuous decline.

Crops for Carbon Farming [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Agricultural cropping systems and pasture comprise one third of the world’s arable land and have the potential to draw down a considerable amount of atmospheric CO2 for storage as soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving the soil carbon budget. An improved soil carbon budget serves the dual purpose of promoting soil health, which supports crop ...

Yield Trends Are Insufficient to Double Global Crop Production by 2050
PLoS ONE, 2013 Several studies have shown that global crop production needs to double by 2050 to meet the projected demands from rising population, diet shifts, and increasing biofuels consumption. Boosting crop yields to meet these rising demands, rather than clearing
