Socioenvironmental implications of Jatropha curcas cultivation for biodiesel supply in postmining communities

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 1235-1243, May/June 2026.
Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and

Combining social, ecological and economic approaches in knowledge co‐production enables the identification of sustainable farming options

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1261-1279, May 2026.
Abstract Farming systems face an increasing sustainability challenge requiring integrated solutions to minimize the trade‐offs between the social, ecological and economic dimensions of sustainability. Yet, most research remains siloed, limiting interdisciplinary understanding of farming systems as coupled social‐ecological systems (SESs) and precluding

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 783-791, May 2026.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,
