A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Fertilizer Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Equitable and Sustainable Soil Inputs

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial agriculture is predicated largely on the production and utilization of chemical fertilizers. Although this approach has played an integral role in increasing food security in many parts of the world, the long‐term sustainability of this resource‐intensive approach is questionable.

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,
