Evolution of Integrated Crop-Livestock Production Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Many factors contribute to changes in the crop-livestock systems, but no logical end-point in the evolution process exists. While benefits of integrated crop-livestock systems over specialised crop and livestock systems are well documented, there has ...

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Impact of climate changes on existing crop-livestock farming systems

open access: yes, 2016
The state of Western Australia is a major producer and exporter of crops and livestock. Mixed farming systems are typical agricultural enterprises in the Western Australian wheatbelt where climate drives the productivity and profitability of these farms ...

Delaying the Inevitable? U.S. Screwworm Closures and Feeder Cattle Market Dynamics

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biosecurity trade restrictions are commonly framed as preventive measures, yet in many settings they function primarily as policies of delay: they impose immediate market costs while only postponing the arrival of biological risks. This paper evaluates that intertemporal tradeoff using the 2024–2025 US suspension of live cattle imports from ...

System diversification and grazing management as resilience-enhancing agricultural practices: The case of crop-livestock integration

open access: yes, 2020

Land use change in Australian mixed crop-livestock systems as a transformative climate change adaptation

open access: yes, 2020
Mixed crop-livestock farming systems provide food for over half of the global population. However, some important food exporting countries, like Australia, are predicted to be vulnerable to climate change and may require transformative adaptations if ...

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

Designing crop–livestock integration at different levels: Toward new agroecological models?

open access: yesNutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 2017
Integrated crop–livestock systems have been shown to improve nutrient cycling, particularly by re-coupling nitrogen and carbon cycles. Yet the number of mixed crop–livestock farms has been falling steadily in Europe.

Compartments of organic matter in an Oxisol under different types of no-tillage systems

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2018
The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in soil carbon (C) as well as its fractions of physical (particulate organic carbon associated with minerals), chemical (fulvic and humic acids and humins), and oxidizable (F1, F2, F3, and F4) forms

Economic performance of production systems with crop-livestock integration in no-tillage systems

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciências Agrárias - Brazilian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Adopting wheat that has additional aptitudes to the only function of grain production in crop-livestock integration systems may be an economical alternative for better using the vast expanse of farmland during the autumn-winter period in southern Brazil.
