Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...
