Microbial Contamination Risks From Adjacent and Nearby Land: Evidence and Implications for Produce Safety. [PDF]

J Food Sci
ABSTRACT Consumers’ demand for fresh produce is rising due to dietary preferences and public health campaigns. Fresh produce is often consumed raw or minimally processed to retain nutrient content. If contaminated, fresh produce can become a vehicle for pathogen transmission and potentially cause outbreaks.

Methane emissions reduced using gypsum in pilot-scale dairy manure tanks. [PDF]

J Environ Qual
Abstract Animal manure storage facilities are sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, with the majority of emissions in the form of methane and nitrous oxide. This study was conducted to assess how effective adding gypsum powder to cow manure is at reducing the emissions of methane and nitrous oxide.

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

How AI and Digital Technologies Can Enhance Sustainable Livestock Manure Management: An Overview From Treatment to Distribution

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable livestock manure management sits at the nexus of climate, nutrient circularity and water quality. This review explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms are used across four management stages, that is, treatment, storage, valorisation and distribution, and figures out where integration fails to deliver ...

Size‐based regulation and water quality: Evidence from the Iowa hog industry

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing prevalence of animal feeding operations (AFOs) in the United States raises concerns among the public and regulators about their impact on local environmental quality. By linking historical regulatory records of AFOs in Iowa to downstream surface water pollution monitors, this paper studies the effects of the 2003 Clean Water Act ...

Impacts of variable‐rate potassium fertilization on corn and soybean yield and soil‐test variability

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Variable‐rate (VR) technology allows for changing nutrient rates within fields. This study compared VR and uniform‐rate (UR) potassium (K) fertilization for corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotations. Grid soil‐sampling (0.1–0.3 ha cells), global positioning systems (GPS), and yield monitors were used to establish multiyear ...

Combined Effect of Cetane Improver, Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles, and Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel Blend on a Dual Fuel Combustion Engine Run With Biogas Originated From Food Waste

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1372-1386, March 2026.
Sugarcane juice is clarified and fermented with yeast to produce ethanol and CO₂. The broth is refined through distillation and molecular sieves, yielding fuel‐grade ethanol stored for transport. Bagasse, vinasse, and residues are recycled as valuable by‐products, enabling a sustainable bioethanol production pathway ABSTRACT This study investigates the

Agronomic performance of maize and cover crops using composted sewage sludge to supply phosphorus

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The application of composted sewage sludge (CSS) in crop production offers a sustainable solution for nutrient recycling and reducing reliance on mineral fertilizers. This study evaluated the residual effects of CSS on phosphorus (P) bioavailability and agronomic performance of maize and cover crops in P‐fixing soils of the Brazilian Savannah (

Initial and residual benefits of soil amendments in reducing phosphorus release from soils with simulated snowmelt flooding

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract In the Canadian prairies, spring snowmelt occurs rapidly and causes flooding in low‐lying areas, inducing anaerobic soil conditions and exacerbating phosphorus (P) release to meltwater. Soil amendments can mitigate P loss from flooded soils soon after amendment application; however, their residual benefits are less understood.
