The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.

Digital Point‐of‐Care Testing Device Based on Bioluminescent Pyrophosphate in Real‐Time and Recombinase‐aid Amplification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A point‐of‐care testing method based on solvent‐responsive magnetic beads suitable for large‐area diagnosis and mutation screening in remote areas was developed to detect it by combining bioluminescenct pyrophosphate in real‐time technology and recombinase‐aid amplification technology.

Under What Conditions Can Rain‐Fed Saffron Be Cultivated in Semi‐Arid Regions?

Meteorological Applications
Saffron could be produced under rain‐fed conditions, but the required conditions are not well known. To determine these conditions, crop growth models can be used. The modified SYEM model for rain‐fed saffron was calibrated and validated.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Characterizing the causes and consequences of calcium oxalate crystal presence in Vitis riparia

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Calcium oxalate biomineralization in plants is phylogenetically widespread and morphologically diverse, but the function of these inorganic crystals is an area of active debate. The variety of environmental conditions that produce the crystals, as well as the inconsistent evidence that they provide antiherbivore defense across plant ...
