GM Crops and the Jevons Paradox: Induced Innovation, Systemic Effects and Net Pesticide Increases From Pesticide‐Decreasing Crops

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Jevons paradox describes how increased efficiency in the use of a resource can paradoxically increase rather than reduce its overall consumption. In agricultural systems, efficiency is confounded by a broad range of economic, ecological, social and evolutionary factors. Agriculture is a particularly elastic kind of production: Efficiencies

Tastes for Luxury: How Dietary Aspirations Underpin Food Regimes

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The human penchant for luxury foods has spurred mass migration, dietary overhaul and environmental change in many places around the world. Desires for foods like sugar, bread, beef and packaged foods were also central to the success of the British Empire and were a key part of American hegemony in the 20th century, and prestigious foods ...

An In Vitro Nutritional Evaluation of Mixed Silages of Drought‐Impaired Grass and Sugar Beet Pulp With or Without Silage Inoculants

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing droughts adversely affect grasslands, diminishing the availability and quality of forages for ruminants. We have recently shown that mixed ensiling of drought‐impaired grass (DIG) with sugar beet pulp (SBP) improved the conservation and feed value of silage.

Exploited mutualism: the reciprocal effects of plant parasitic nematodes on the mechanisms underpinning plant–mutualist interactions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary We are quickly gaining insights into the mechanisms and functions of plant–mutualist relationships with the common overarching aim of exploiting them to enhance food security and crop resilience. There is a growing mass of research describing various benefits of plant‐mutualistic fungi, including increased nutrition, yields, and tolerance to ...

The soil bacterium Lysobacter capsici attaches to the nematode surface, and triggers induced systemic resistance in barley, impairing the invasion of root‐lesion nematodes

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Root‐lesion nematodes pose a global threat to crop yield and stability, with their broad host range presenting a formidable challenge for effective management. In this study, we investigated the role of the nematode‐attached bacterium Lysobacter capsici in mitigating the invasion of Pratylenchus penetrans into spring barley roots.
