Optimal timing and rate of nitrogen fertilizer use: An integrated network technology approach

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Both the rate and timing of crop fertilizer application play an important role in agricultural productivity. However, inefficient fertilizer use can significantly increase production costs, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.
