Potential Adoption of Genetically Modified Rapeseed in France, Effects on Revenues of Farmers and Upstream Companies: an ex ante evaluation [PDF]

In this paper, we conduct an empirical investigation of potential adoption of herbicide-tolerant (HT) genetically modified (GM) rapeseed in France. Our aim is to study ex ante the potential impact of their adoption in France, in terms of adoption level ...

Seedlings' growth in response to drought stress and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) [PDF]

, 1989
The aim of this work was to study the effect of the herbicide, 2,4-D on a mono- cot (Lolium temulentum Linn.) and a dicot (Raphanus sativus Linn.) in relation to drought stress, in order to elucidate if the combined treatments altered the survival of the

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the

Social‐ecological sustainability of olive farming in the Mediterranean: A review of current practices and an agroecological perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Olive farming represents a prime example of a biodiversity‐rich land‐use system in the Mediterranean, deeply rooted in a long history and cultural traditions, yet it faces mounting challenges from climate change, biodiversity loss, and declining economic viability that put its sustainability at risk.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Crop genotypic richness enhances biomass production and phosphorus acquisition in maize‐mycorrhiza symbiosis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...
