An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

A Small Act Towards Circular Bioeconomy: Adoption of Integrated Crop‐Livestock System and Its Impacts on Fertiliser Use

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integrated crop‐livestock system (ICLS) involves rural households simultaneously engaging in crop cultivation and livestock rearing, embodying the principles of a circular bioeconomy. In this system, crop cultivation produces straw as livestock feed, while livestock rearing generates manure that enriches the soil for crop production.

Effect of weed management strategies on the risk of enteric pathogen transfer into the food chain and lettuce quality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The hygienic quality of raw edible vegetables such as lettuce may be influenced by pathogen transfer from soil to plant, which might occur during weed control by hoeing or as splash-effects during rainfall.

Free‐living Black‐tailed Godwits maintain constant intake rates across varying grassland habitat conditions by adjusting their foraging behaviour

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.

Effect of Organic Amendments on the Productivity of Rainfed Lowland Rice in the Kilombero Floodplain of Tanzania

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Organic amendments can reportedly sustain and increase lowland rice productivity in smallholder systems. Few studies have assessed locally-available substrates in hydrologically variable floodplain environments.

Participatory evaluation of biochar‐based fertilizer application: Effects on soil properties, yield, and yield components of bread wheat in acidic Nitisols

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract A participatory field experiment was conducted during the 2024 main cropping season in collaboration with local farmers who jointly managed and evaluated the trials. The experiment aims to evaluate the effects of biochar‐based fertilizer (BBF) on soil properties and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) productivity grown on acidic Nitisols.

Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 111-122, March 2026.
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...
