Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Sonocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction for syngas production over surface‐roughened CuxO catalyst

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition to a carbon‐circular economy requires efficient technologies for converting CO2 into value‐added chemical feedstocks. Sonocatalytic CO2 conversion has recently emerged as a compelling approach to drive this conversion. Here, we report a surface‐roughened CuxO catalyst for sonocatalytic CO2 reduction in aqueous media, achieving a
