Agriculture remains the food supplier of many households globally. In Africa, agriculture helps many farm households to meet their household food needs. Given the importance of agriculture in achieving food security in m...

Agricultural landscapes in the tribal regions of Central India are dominated by smallholder, low-input, and highly diversified farming systems integrating crops, trees, and livestock. However, despite increasing promotio...

Abstract Climate change threatens species and crops. Understanding its impact along a range of climates is essential for developing effective conservation strategies and strengthening ecological resilience. This study ex...

The agricultural sector contributes significantly to the economic development of nations worldwide. Owing to the population explosion, agriculture must address the complex challenges to meet the growing food demand while...

The paper analyses the legally established practice of agriculture has been forced out of the urban environment as land value increases with higher population densities. It’s stated, that cities and surrounding urban e...

Plants constitute the foundation of life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and ecosystem services essential for human well-being. At the same time, they are among the most threatened components of biodiversity, with curr...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

In recent decades, drug crop eradication and drug trafficking interdiction have pushed drug crop cultivation into new areas of the Amazonian rain forest. The presence of the drug industries in these regions—followed by...

Global environmental degradation resulting from unsustainable human activities has become a critical development challenge in the 21st century. The Didessa watershed in southwestern Ethiopia, a region dominated by subsis...

Background and Objectives: This study investigates the effects of land management practices and vegetation cover on soil erosion rates in the Mashhad Plain, Northeast Iran. Methods: By employing the Universal Soil Loss...

Prosocial propensity refers to an individual’s general inclination to act for the benefit of others. Notably, psychological research has often defined “others” narrowly, limiting the term to humans. However, some a...

ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

Ecology and sustainability are increasingly approached as a coupled socio-ecological agenda for balancing human needs, ecosystem integrity, and long-term resilience within ecological limits Rapid climate risks, accelerat...

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops and are a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt crops to the impacts of global change, particularly to meet increasing consumer demand in t...

The decline in biodiversity and, as a consequence, in genetic resources of farm animals worldwide as a result of the growing anthropogenic impact is recognized as a global problem that requires an immediate solution. The...

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, often referred to as the “Third Pole” and the “Asian Water Tower”, plays a pivotal role in global climate regulation due to its exceptional carbon sequestration capacity. Recent evide...

Building on the premise that macroeconomic variables – such as prices, agricultural income, and the real exchange rate – are associated with deforestation dynamics, this study investigates both the longrun relationsh...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

En el centro-sur de la región semiárida pampeana, laagricultura extensiva enfrenta condiciones adversas comodéficits hídricos frecuentes y suelos frágiles, pobres enmateria orgánica. Prácticas como la captación d...

Agricultural landscapes support large amphibian populations because they provide habitat for many species, although agriculture affects amphibians through various mechanisms. Pollution with agrochemicals is the major thr...

Spatio-temporal evaluation of agricultural water use under both observed and future climate conditions is essential for identifying opportunities for water conservation and supporting sustainable farming practices. Howev...

Societal and political voices call for stronger environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and reduced pesticide use. Integrating digital farming technologies into farming systems like strip intercropping offer...

Family farming systems are widespread in tropical cocoa production, supporting rural livelihoods while providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage and soil protection. However, farm structure and crop diversity a...

Abstract Watershed degradation driven by land-use change, climate variability, and rising water demand threatens water security and ecosystem services in underdeveloped countries like Nepal. Local participation is essent...
