Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Ketazine‐Linked Covalent Organic Framework for Metal‐Free Electrocatalytic Nitrate‐to‐Ammonia Conversion

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A metal‐free fluorinated ketazine‐linked COF is introduced as an efficient electrocatalyst for nitrate reduction to ammonia under neutral conditions. Fluorine substitution enhances π–π stacking and crystallinity, enabling a Faradaic efficiency of 59.9% and an NH3 yield rate of 1639.9 µmol h−1 mgCOF−1 at −0.9 V versus RHE. This establishes an unexplored

Morbidity Among the Aging Population in Northern Bangladesh: An Epidemiological Study

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Multimorbidity (≥ 2 chronic diseases) is common among aging populations, yet evidence from Bangladesh remains limited. A cross‐sectional survey of 540 older adults in Northern Bangladesh (June–August 2022) assessed multimorbidity using interviews and logistic regression analysis. Multimorbidity prevalence was 75.74% (95% CI: 71.9%–79.3%).

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...
