Bt and Ht Corn versus Conventional Pesticide and Herbicide Use. Do Environmental Impacts Differ?
In this paper we empirically assess and compare the environmental impact of pesticide programs for Bt, Ht (glufosinate) and conventional corn in Europe, employing the Environmental Impact Quotient.

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Effects of Glyphosate on the Planktonic Microbiota: An Experimental Approach
ABSTRACT Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, including in Brazil, and its dispersion through habitats and surface waters can impact entire aquatic ecosystems. However, experimental studies evaluating the effects of pesticides on whole planktonic communities, considering attributes such as richness, density and composition—
