Short‐term effects of grass–legume mixtures on greenhouse gas fluxes in southeastern US cool‐season annual forage systems

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The agricultural sector contributes to the greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in the United States. In livestock systems, grass–legume mixtures provide agronomic benefits, but their role in GHG mitigation remains understudied. This study evaluated the short‐term effects of two forage treatments on nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon ...

The Transformation of U.S. Livestock Agriculture: Scale, Efficiency, and Risks [PDF]

open access: yes
U.S. livestock production has shifted to much larger and more specialized farms, and the various stages of input provision, farm production, and processing are now much more tightly coordinated through formal contracts and shared ownership of assets ...

The Olive Oil Mill as Circular Hub

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 9, September 2026.
Olive oil production generates large amounts of by‐products at every stage of the production process. The olive mill can be considered a circular hub, where such by‐products are valorized through a cascade approach that first recovers valuable compounds and then converts the remaining biomass into renewable energy.

Groundnut Improvement for Aflatoxin Resistance: Progress and Opportunities

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundnut, or peanut, is an industrial oilseed crop that serves the food and feed industries and provides income along the value chain. Pre‐ and post‐harvest aflatoxin contamination, caused by Aspergillus spp., hinders the food and feed value and market opportunities of groundnut products. Developing and deploying aflatoxin‐resistant varieties

A note on the estimation of nutrient value of cattle slurry using easily determined physical and chemical parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
peer-reviewedThe composition of cattle slurries can vary greatly due to factors such as farm management, meteorology, animal diet and housing system. Thus, when spread on land, the precise fertiliser value is usually unknown. In this study, 41 samples of

Bile acid metabolism and signaling in human and animal health: A One Health perspective

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Bile acids maintain host homeostasis through enterohepatic circulation, microbial transformation, and bile acid receptor signaling, thereby regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, intestinal barrier integrity, and immunity. These effects support human disease intervention and health‐oriented animal production, reducing drug dependence and residue ...

Gaseous emissions (NH₃, N₂O and CH₄) following manure or urea application to soil as influenced by amendments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may contribute to global warming. The three most important greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (mainly from burning fossil fuels and deforestation), methane (mainly from ruminant animals and

Topic: Smallholder Farmers' Adaptation Practices to the Effects of Land Degradation on Livelihoods in Semi‐Arid Ghana

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11459-11473, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Although several environmental challenges exist globally, land degradation is the greatest threat and risk factor wedging human livelihoods. Despite widespread awareness of climate change, little empirical evidence exists on land degradation and its impacts on livelihoods in semi‐arid agroecological systems.
