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

open access: yesSustainable 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.

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Equity‐Calibrated Technology Forecasting for Sustainable Development: A Portable ADOPT Framework Integrating Bayesian‐Ising Diagnostics

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted to enhance resilience and productivity among smallholder farmers, yet its diffusion remains uneven due to structural barriers and heterogeneous adoption contexts. Existing forecasting tools, such as the Adoption and Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool (ADOPT), estimate adoption trajectories but ...

Exploring the Sustainability Landscape of Nature‐Based Solutions in Food Systems

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) offer a pathway toward more resilient food systems. Although previous studies analysed various sustainability benefits of integrating NbS within food systems, the field remains fragmented, with a significant gap in understanding development patterns, emerging research trends at the intersection of NbS, food systems,

Smallholders and Markets

2021
Smallholder production in Africa tends to be both low yielding relative to the agronomic potential, and crops are of low or variable quality. These outcomes are largely a result of market conditions that smallholders face. Smallholders lack full property rights over land, and capital markets targeting smallholders are thin, so they may not be able to ...

Globalization and the smallholders [PDF]

open access: possible, 2002
A major question that has surfaced in the changing context of world agriculture is whether the smallholders would ride the wave of globalization or be swept away. This paper addresses the debate with a four-fold objective: (1) it maps different factors that are likely to impinge on developing country smallholders as a result of globalization in general
