Impact of Sustainable Agricultural Practices on Labor Use Among Rice Farmers in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mekong Delta (MKD), Vietnam has achieved high rice productivity through rapid intensification. However, this progress has led to environmental degradation and adverse economic and health effects. To mitigate these challenges, sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) have been promoted.

The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.

De Gustibus Est Disputandum: The role of agricultural and applied economists in an era of behavior change initiatives and endogenous preferences

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Popular society increasingly questions preferences that drive many resource allocations and production decisions, with many groups actively seeking to alter those preferences to achieve changes to resource use. Agricultural and applied economists, who are already equipped with excellent technical skills to undertake consumer preference and ...

Economics of land‐based carbon mitigation

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural land holds tremendous potential to contribute to net zero greenhouse gas emission goals by providing low carbon renewable energy to displace fossil fuels and by serving as a sink for sequestering carbon in the soil with climate‐smart practices. This potential is, however, far from being realized.

Dimorphic enantiostyly and its function for pollination by carpenter bees in a pollen‐rewarding Caribbean bloodwort

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Electromembrane Extraction for Multiclass Pesticide Assessment in Soil Matrices: Sustainable Analytical Insights

Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.
The U‐shaped electromembrane extraction with liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry enables rapid multiclass pesticide screening in soil. The 15 min, low‐solvent workflow achieves high recoveries and robust linearity, while AGREEprep and GAPI assessments highlight a greener profile compared to literature reports, which represents a smart strategy for ...

Baseline Characteristics of Pristine Agricultural Pods Biochar

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The valorization of agricultural pod wastes into biochar offers a sustainable pathway for waste management and the development of functional carbonaceous materials. This study comparatively evaluates biochars produced from cocoa, flamboyant, and locust bean pods using an autothermal top‐lit updraft gasifier with retort heating, a system ...
