Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied 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.

Expanded Farm Safety Net Payments Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) strengthens the agricultural risk coverage (ARC) and price loss coverage (PLC) programs by aligning program parameters more closely with recent market dynamics and allows for an expansion in program acres. This study projects the increases in ARC‐County and PLC payments for corn, soybeans, and wheat under

Delay of Cucumber Senescence and Life‐Extending Capabilities on Caenorhabditis elegans With the Postharvest Application of Sorbitol and Methyl Salicylate

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Methyl salicylate and sorbitol were taken as coating agents. Caenorhabditis elegans was taken as an animal model. The coated agents were applied in C. elegans. The life span study in C. elegans proves the authenticity of MS and SL. MS and SL extended the post‐harvest life of cucumber for 14 days.

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Drought Dynamics in the Nile River Basin: Meteorological, Agricultural, and Groundwater Drought Propagation

Remote Sensing
The Nile River Basin (NRB) has experienced a notable rise in drought episodes in recent decades. The propagation of meteorological, agricultural, and groundwater drought dynamics in the NRB was investigated in this study. The following drought indices examined the correlation and propagation among meteorological, agricultural, and groundwater droughts.
