Social‐ecological sustainability of olive farming in the Mediterranean: A review of current practices and an agroecological perspective

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2952-2967, September 2026.
Abstract Olive farming represents a prime example of a biodiversity‐rich land‐use system in the Mediterranean, deeply rooted in a long history and cultural traditions, yet it faces mounting challenges from climate change, biodiversity loss, and declining economic viability that put its sustainability at risk.

Beneath the surface: Seed bank homogenization and multiscalar variation in Boston's community gardens

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 3163-3181, September 2026.
Abstract Urban community gardens are often assumed to enhance fine‐scale biodiversity, yet repeated disturbance and shared horticultural norms may also contribute to urban biotic homogenization—the convergence of species composition across spatial scales and sites within the urban matrix.

Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.

Paddies' Puzzle: Multi Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) Approach for Enhancing Natural and Agrobiodiversity in Italian Rice Farming Districts in Northern Italy

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice cultivation systems in north‐western Italy in recent decades have experienced a process of natural biodiversity decline, agro‐biodiversity compression and simplification of cultivation practices, reducing the role of paddies as wetland replacement areas.

Integration of Biochar and Rainwater Harvesting to Improve Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in Semi‐Arid Regions of Zimbabwe

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Crop production has been declining in semi‐arid areas over the past two decades due to several biophysical constraints, including soil infertility and water stress induced by low rainfall. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of biochar and rainwater harvesting techniques on soil moisture content, bulk ...
