Drivers of Farmers' Contract Compliance Behavior: Evidence From a Case Study of Dangote Tomato Processing Plant in Northern Nigeria

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contract farming is a viable strategy agribusinesses rely on to strengthen coordination across actors in the value chain. However, low contract compliance remains a significant setback to agribusinesses' contract performance in low‐ and middle‐income country context.

Traceability of Agri‐Food Products: The Key to Conscious Trade

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globalization and growing concerns about sustainability have led to improvements in product traceability, quality, and sustainability. Traceability contributes to environmental protection and supports sustainable development by fostering transparency in agricultural practices and encouraging the responsible use of resources.

Mechanistic Control of Cathode–Electrolyte Interphase Formation in Gel Polymer Electrolyte for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
To regulate a distinct degradation pathway introduced by residual monomers in in‐situ gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), tris(4‐fluorophenyl)phosphine (TFPP) is coupled with a voltage hold (VH) protocol. TFPP first covers the high‐Ni cathode surface and then preferentially decomposes during the hold step, forming a cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Cobalt‐Catalyzed C─N Bond Formation via Metal‐Hydride Hydrogen Atom Transfer (MHAT)

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cobalt‐catalyzed metal‐hydride hydrogen atom transfer (Co‐MHAT) converts simple alkenes into C─N bonds under mild, near‐neutral conditions. A shared Co─H‐initiated radical/organocobalt intermediate is channeled into radical trapping, radical‐polar crossover, or radical ligand transfer, unifying hydroamination, hydroazidation, hydroamidation, and remote

Sublethal Effects of Chlorantraniliprole on the Mobility Patterns of Sitophilus spp.: Implications for Pest Management

Insects
Chlorantraniliprole, an anthranilic diamide insecticide, has emerged as a promising solution for controlling agricultural pests because of its low mammalian toxicity and selectivity towards non-target organisms.

Alternative Policy Designs to Help Farmers Select Profitable Conservation Practices

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary private carbon initiatives (VPCIs) promote the implementation of agricultural conservation practices that mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) via financial incentives to participating farmers. Simultaneously, an array of public policies supports the adoption of conservation practices through technical and financial ...

Conformationally Switchable Copper(I) Complexes Amplify BODIPY Triplet Photosensitization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Coupling a structurally switchable Cu(I) complex to an organic light‐harvesting chromophore boosts photoinduced intersystem crossing via the transient formation of a Cu(II) intermediate. Spectroscopic, physical, computational, and photocatalytic studies support this unique new approach to solar energy upconversion.

Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

Sampling Strategy: An Overlooked Factor Affecting Artificial Intelligence Prediction Accuracy of Peptides’ Physicochemical Properties

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study reveals that sampling strategy (i.e., sampling size and approach) is a foundational prerequisite for building accurate and generalizable AI models in peptide discovery. Reaching a threshold of 7.5% of the total tetrapeptide sequence space was essential to ensure reliable predictions.
