Three Decades of Changes in Brazilian Municipalities and Their Food Production Systems
Land, 2020 Agricultural systems are heterogeneous across temporal and spatial scales. Although much research has investigated farm size and economic output, the synergies and trade-offs across various agricultural and socioeconomic variables are unclear. This study

Soil Health and Biodiversity Is Driven by Intensity of Organic Farming in Canada
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022 Organic farming is continuing to expand in Canada, with close to 6,000 producers farming over 2% of all agricultural land. There is insufficient evidence, however, of a trend toward larger average farm size and increasing specialization by these organic ...

Production Diversity and Socioeconomic Characteristics of Household Farms
Journal of Agricultural Science, 2016 The level of production diversity chosen by small household farms may not be optimal from a social perspective, due to the existence of market failures such as environmental externalities or barriers to credit. Public policies designed to stimulate more diversified crops are supposed to correct that inefficiency.

Effect of species diversity on particle clearance and productivity in farmed bivalves [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2020 Most bivalve farms are designed as monocultures, yet diverse communities often outperform monocultures in various metrics of ecosystem functioning, including particle clearance and productivity. This study tested the feasibility of bivalve polyculture by examining particle clearance, growth, and survival of 4 species that are economically important to ...
