Trade-Offs between Sustainability Indicators in Response to the Production Choices of Different Farm Household Types in Drylands

Agronomy, 2020
A lot of national and international effort has been made to promote sustainable agricultural production systems in drylands. However, success has been seriously limited due to lack of thorough characterization of the impact of the diversity of farm ...

Capacitive Pixelated CMOS Electronic Nose

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A 1024‐pixel CMOS capacitive E‐nose with inkjet‐printed MOFs and polymer layers yields gas‐specific capacitance fingerprints under humid conditions, discriminating toluene from 2‐butanone at low power. ABSTRACT Although some of the human senses can nowadays be replaced by low‐cost electronic sensors such as microphones and image sensors, a compact low ...

The diversity of livestock production in farms is it favorable to cooperation inter-farms ?

, 2018
Après plusieurs décennies d'incitation à la spécialisation des exploitations, la diversité de production au sein des exploitations est une des alternatives mise en avant pour faire face aux aléas. En élevage, cette diversité de production renforce souvent la complexité du travail et les besoins d'équipements.

On the Link between Production Diversity and Dietary Quality in Smallholder Farm Households

, 2018
Undernutrition, low dietary diversity, and micronutrient deficiencies remain big problems in many developing countries. A large proportion of the people affected are smallholder farmers. Against this background, it is often assumed that further diversifying small-farm production could be a good strategy to improve dietary diversity and nutrition.

Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...
