Fertilizer Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Equitable and Sustainable Soil Inputs

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial agriculture is predicated largely on the production and utilization of chemical fertilizers. Although this approach has played an integral role in increasing food security in many parts of the world, the long‐term sustainability of this resource‐intensive approach is questionable.

Cost Behavior of Organic Versus Conventional Farms: Assessing Economic Resilience and the Ecological Dividend

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study empirically examines the cost behavior in organic versus conventional farming to assess economic resilience. Using Spanish FADN data (2015–2021), results show organic farms exhibit higher cost elasticity during output increases and lower elasticity during decreases.

Gross Agricultural Emissions and Unequal Mitigation Pathways in the Brazilian Legal Amazon: Implications for Climate Justice and the Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate mitigation policies in the Brazilian Legal Amazon have largely focused on aggregate or net emissions, providing limited evidence on how gross agricultural emissions reveal the intensity of productive emission sources independently of carbon removals.

Alternative Cropping Systems and Practices Tend to Improve Sustainability From a Multi‐Criteria Assessment Framework. A Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative cropping systems and practices (ACSPs) are increasingly promoted as strategies to enhance sustainability across environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Consequently, evaluating the performance of ACSPs is necessary to determine whether they effectively contribute to sustainability across these multiple dimensions.
