Epistemic diversity and the politics of knowledge in plant disease management: Insights from the Xylella fastidiosa epidemic in southern Italy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Xylella fastidiosa is a major plant pathogen affecting crops such as grapes, citrus, almonds, and olives, with potentially severe consequences for agricultural production and rural livelihoods worldwide. This paper examines the conflict around the management of the X. fastidiosa outbreak affecting olive trees in southern Italy.

Climate requirements for cultivated Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) and consequences for its use and development as a crop species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Challenges and limitations of introducing pigeonpea as a new crop into smallholder farming systems through farmer‐to‐farmer education in Zambia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Legume plants offer generous benefits for both the planet and people by supporting sustainable farming, food and feed systems through their ability to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen. While grain legumes are cultivated and consumed globally, their adoption, market development, and integration into cropping systems vary.

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.
