A Reaction‐Diffusion Frame for Accessing Metabolic O2 Fluxes in Single Microalgal Cells with Low‐Cost Wide‐Field Imaging of Nanosensor Luminescence Lifetime

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Individual Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii) living cells on an agarose pad containing luminescent O2 nanosensors are imaged with a simple wide‐field protocol of lifetime imaging. The resulting maps of phosphorescence lifetime are analyzed within a reaction‐diffusion frame to access the distribution of metabolic O2 fluxes generated by single ...

Toward Sustainable Pesticide Application: Bridging Efficacy and Food Safety

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A fully bio‐based lignin coacervate system is developed for pesticide delivery, enhancing leaf retention, UV resistance, adhesion, and wetting. The formulation enables pH/laccase‐triggered release for prolonged action, reduces ecological toxicity, and is fully washable, reconciling agricultural efficacy with food and environmental safety.

A Scoping Review of Nudges for Enhancing Agricultural Policy

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following PRISMA guidelines, we conduct a scoping review on 18 empirical studies on nudging interventions for farmers in Europe and the USA. The evidence on the effectiveness of nudges is mixed. Some studies demonstrate positive outcomes, particularly when nudges are combined with other interventions; others report no effect or negative ...

Effect of risk and incentives on contracts: The case of farm operators in Iowa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Longitudinal data on Iowa landowner–operator contracts are used to examine how the mean, variance, and skewness of expected farmland returns affected contract terms from 2008 to 2019. To control for unobserved operator risk preferences and ability as a fixed effect, the sample includes operators with multiple contracts.
