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

PLANTS, 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 ...

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.
