Agricultural System Resilience of Industrial Hemp: An Exploratory Value Web Analysis in the Swabian Alb

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;

From farm to field: testing different biocrust cultivation approaches and application techniques in the Sonoran Desert

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Drylands are among the most degraded ecosystems globally and are difficult to restore due to limited water availability. Biocrusts are a key component of maintaining soil stability and function in these systems. Since biocrust salvage opportunities are limited, cultivating salvaged biocrusts is a promising method.
