Soil carbon storage or sustainable conservation agriculture practices—Which should be our goal?

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Practices such as no‐tillage, cover crops, or diversification of crop rotation are thought to be capable of addressing climate change challenges while ensuring food security. Public and private sectors at national and international levels are currently incentivizing farmers to adopt these practices to increase soil carbon (C) levels, thus ...

Satellite assessment of winter cover crop and conservation tillage outcomes to support adaptive management in working landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of winter cover crops and conservation tillage are agricultural practices promoted to reduce nutrient and sediment loss from cropland, improve soil health, increase infiltration, and support farm nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. However, environmental performance of these practices is variable in the working farm landscape. The

Crop performance and profitability for the initial transition years of a regenerative cropping system in the Upper Midwest United States

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from conventional to more regenerative cropping systems can be economically risky due to variable transition period yields and unforeseen costs. We compared yields and economic returns for the first 3 years of the transition from a business as usual (BAU) conventional corn (Zea mays)–soybean (Glycine max) rotation to an ...

Recycling waste via insect agriculture: Frass impacts on soil and plant health

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Frass—the main by‐product of insect rearing for animal feed—is emerging as a promising soil amendment and plant growth promoter. However, basic agronomic information is lacking and prevents frass’ widespread use as a biofertilizer. This study assessed impacts of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.

Potential of short‐term heat‐treated horse manure as a recycled growing media

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the effectiveness of a farm‐scale manure pasteurizer in transforming horse manure into growing media for plants within a circular economy framework. Horse manures with wood or peat beddings were homogenized in a controlled short‐term heat treatment process lasting a total of 1–2 days, including a 1 h pasteurization phase ...

The Impact of a Buyer's Incentives and Organizational Structure on Suppliers' Quality

open access: yesJournal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in a buyer organization's incentives and structure can have a significant impact on supply chain performance, such as the quality of sourced components. We examine this relationship using data from a unique quasi‐experiment where one of the two plants of a buyer introduced long‐term quality improvement incentives and a more organic ...
