Agrivoltaics for Rural Development: Energy Security, Crop Diversification, and Sustainability on Mexican Rainfed Maize Farms

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
This work presents a rural development strategy that transforms rainfed maize farms into crop‐rotation agrivoltaics systems irrigated with treated wastewater. Results show that electricity sales to the grid improve land‐use efficiency and provide clean energy to local communities.

Modeling maize growth and development in temperate and tropical agro‐climatic systems using MAIZSIM

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract MAIZSIM is a mechanistic maize (Zea mays L.) crop model with a two‐dimensional finite element‐based soil simulator, known for its detailed process‐based representation and minimal calibration requirements. While the model has been extensively applied in temperate agro‐climatic systems, its use in tropical areas has not been explored.

Phylogenetic analysis and the recognition of a new genus for Mexican Crassulaceae segregated from Echeveria

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Systematic knowledge of the Mexican Crassulaceae is slowly progressing as data from new DNA regions and species sampling efforts increase. We compiled and generated new rbcL, matK, rps16, ITS/ITS2, and ETS DNA sequences and performed an updated phylogenetic reconstruction for a group of 131 Mexican Crassulaceae terminals from 11 of the 13 ...

Spatially Downscaling of Future Food Demand for Policy Planning

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the subnational dynamics of food demand, while accounting for the evolution of the agrifood system at the global level, remains a challenge for designing food policy to ensure food security. To link global agrifood systems with subnational food policy planning, we downscale per capita food demand for 62 food commodities at the ...
