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 Agroecological transitions face a dual imperative: reducing pesticide reliance and minimising soil disturbance for climate mitigation. However, the blanket promotion of no-till practices may hinder ecological in...

Ants are essential components of ecosystems, playing critical roles in nutrient cycling, pest control, and soil health. Agricultural practices significantly influence ant biodiversity, yet studies on this subject remain ...

Abstract Biomass-based value web approaches are increasingly promoted as sustainable pathways for improving rural livelihoods and resource efficiency in smallholder farming systems, yet empirical evidence on their liveli...

Small-scale agricultural production systems are characterized by high diversity and complex interactions that challenge their long-term ecological sustainability. This study presents an early-stage methodological prototy...

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are increasingly used for landscape management on rewetted peatlands, where monitoring their behavior and welfare remains challenging due to large, water−rich and difficult−to-access g...

While there is wide consensus about the reliance of climate projections at global scale, there is still uncertainty about changes at finer scale and even less on the effects of such fluctuations for local economies and s...

Smart farming has introduced agricultural systems that are increasingly autonomous and highly interconnected. The Agricultural Digital Twin (ADT) is an innovative breakthrough in smart farming that has the potential to g...

Abstract Rice-based cropping systems remain dominant in Bangladesh’s agricultural landscape, yet their long-term sustainability and profitability are increasingly constrained by high input requirements, ecological pres...

Abstract Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production is increasingly challenged by water limitations and declining soil quality, necessitating efficient alternatives to conventional cultivation. This review examines the ...

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...

The rapid increase in population in Indonesia has increased the demand for animal protein. As a source of animal protein, fish has excellent potential to be developed in Indonesia. However, care for water quality, a basi...

Abstract Northern Ghana faces acute climate vulnerabilities, yet adaptation pathways remain fragmented and poorly synthesized. This study systematically reviewed 15 peer-reviewed literature covering the Savannah, Upper E...

Soilless cultivation systems such as hydroponics rely on continuous and accurate monitoring of physicochemical parameters to maintain optimal plant growth conditions. In practice, however, hydroponic operations are const...

ABSTRACT This study evaluated different crosses for sustainable beef production in the Meio-Norte, Brazil. Thirty-four cattle [seven Curraleiro Pé-duro (CPD), six Nellore (NEL), seven F 1 ( ½ NEL + ½ CPD ), seven ...

The present study evaluated the sensory, proximate and morphometric differences of pond and net-cage-reared Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Thirty samples from ponds and 30 samples from net-cages were used. Morphom...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify the factors influencing milk production in Alegre, a municipality in the Caparaó region of Espírito Santo, from May 2023 and May 2024. Data from 30 farms were collected through que...

Abstract Tick control represent a great challenge to animal health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of acaricidal compounds against Rhipicephalus microplus from dairy cattle systems in Paraná St...

Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technologies are vital for enhancing the climate resilience of high-value, climate-sensitive crops like vanilla in Sub-Saharan Africa. While institutional support through agricultural ext...

ABSTRACT - This study was conducted to compare live weight, feed intake, feed conversion, mortality rate, and some carcass characteristics of Japanese quails reared under organic and conventional conditions. A total of 1...

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...

Abstract Background There is evidence that data recorded by electronic sow feeding (ESF) systems can generate useful information to support decision-making at farms. More specifically, healthy and diseased animals exhibi...

A aquicultura brasileira é a segunda (destaque para o Chile) em produção sul-americana, apoiada basicamente nas cadeias de produção da tilapicultura e da carcinicultura. O Brasil produziu, em 2007, 95.691,0 tonelada...

Background and Aim: Ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBD) continue to pose a significant threat to livestock production and rural livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The control of ticks has relied predominantly on th...
