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

The Effect of Sustainability Information on Consumers' Preferences for Fungus‐Resistant Grape Wine

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable food production is intensifying the need to reduce the environmental and social impacts of pesticide use in agriculture. In viticulture, where dependence on pesticides is high because grapevines are susceptible to fungal diseases, fungus‐resistant grape varieties (PIWI) offer a promising strategy to reduce chemical ...

Autonomous X‐Ray Fluorescence Mapping for Nanoscale Chemical Speciation of Fine Particulate Matter

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
We present X‐AutoMap, an autonomous X‐ray fluorescence mapping framework that integrates real‐time analysis with rule‐based computer vision to selectively target chemically relevant regions. By avoiding background‐dominated areas, the method reduces acquisition time by fourfold while enabling accurate particle‐level speciation.

Behaviorally Adaptive and Inclusive Advanced Driver‐Assistance Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Advanced driver‐assistance systems (ADASs) are mapped as evolving human‐centered, adaptive technologies linking sensing, driver monitoring, AR/HUD interfaces, patents, regulation, and inclusive design. The review identifies gaps in real‐world evidence, diverse‐driver validation, gaze metrics, and governance, outlining a roadmap for safer, behaviorally ...
