Exploring the Sustainability Landscape of Nature‐Based Solutions in Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) offer a pathway toward more resilient food systems. Although previous studies analysed various sustainability benefits of integrating NbS within food systems, the field remains fragmented, with a significant gap in understanding development patterns, emerging research trends at the intersection of NbS, food systems,

Chemical Recycling as a Tool for Enabling a Second Life for Polyesters

SusMat, EarlyView.
This review presents the elucidation of the life cycle of main polyesters, detailing end‐of‐life methods, with focus of solvolysis technologies, then an analysis of LCA and TEA on literature data, an original data analytic, and, finally, a current industrial mapping of the main processes with a critical perspective on the plastic life‐cycle ecosystem ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Information flow and the adoption of soil‐improving and water conservation measures, and household welfare: Insights from a randomized controlled trial in Uganda

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extension services are designed to facilitate the flow of information from researchers to farmers. However, information failures continue to impede the diffusion of soil‐improving and water conservation technologies in Sub‐Saharan African countries. We use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of an extension‐based campaign

Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

Weed control, soil health, and yield tradeoffs of between-bed management strategies in organic plasticulture vegetable production

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Planting a cover crop living mulch between plastic mulch beds in fresh market vegetable production can reduce soil erosion and runoff, and offers an opportunity to grow an income generating cash crop alongside a soil building cover crop.
