Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

The carbohydrate composition and nutritive value of forages
Agricultural and Food Science, 1977 The carbohydrates of forages, their digestibility, the relationship between composition and the development stage in grasses and legumes, and the dependence of nutritive value on composition are examined.

The effect of leaching on the nutritive value of forage plants
Hilgardia, 1931 Abstract does not appear. First page follows. Introduction A significant decrease in digestibility of bur clover after exposure to sunlight and rain has been reported in the first paper and evidence was presented which indicated that the greater part of the decrease could be accounted for by the loss of soluble ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rural farm households continue to face significant risks from climate change, resulting in many of them diversifying their livelihood sources into other income‐generating activities to increase their incomes and improve food and nutrition security. In this study, we examine the drivers and impact of farm households' participation in livelihood

Modelling responses of forages to climate change with a focus on nutritive value [PDF]
Advances in Animal Biosciences, 2016 European livestock agriculture is extraordinarily diverse, and so are the challenges it faces. This diversity has contributed to the development of a fragmented set of research communities. As a result, livestock research is often under-represented at policy level, despite its high relevance for the environment and food security.
