Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Nutritional composition of pollen stores in managed bees across European agro‐ecosystems reveals species‐specific differences but limited pesticide effects

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...

Indian deindustrialization revisited: New data, estimates, and interpretations

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The fate of the handloom cotton textile industry is one of the most debated topics in the economic history of India. This paper presents novel employment estimates for cotton textile handweaving and spinning in the period 1800–1940. I put together plausible values for labour productivity and combine these with aggregate input usage to generate

Inter‐disciplinary perspectives on sustainability in machinery manufacturing

International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Perspectives on economic, social and environmental sustainability in machinery manufacturing are changing. These are predominantly driven by increased consumer, firm and public knowledge on the importance of sustainability and the role that machinery manufacturers can play to achieve sustainability outcomes.
