Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture globally, impacting crop yields and food security. Nigeria is highly climate-vulnerable, with over 70% of livelihoods rain-fed, increasing exposure to floods, dr...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

This research develops a water-centric nexus assessment framework for Thailand's major crops: rice, sugarcane, and cassava, within shared cultivation areas. The framework examines interaction among water use, agricultura...

Food texture is increasingly recognized as a determinant of nutritional safety, metabolic regulation, and overall health. However, conventional approaches to texture modification rely primarily on hydrocolloids, mechanic...

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...

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...

Smallholder farmers in the Northeast India are vulnerable to climate risks due to subsistence based rainfed farming, fragmented landholdings, fragile ecosystems, and limited institutional support. This study aimed to ass...

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...

Water-scarce smallholder regions require irrigation strategies that are both biophysically credible and socially legitimate. We propose an integrated hydro-economic decision-support framework for the Cesar Department (Co...

Agricultural production necessitates sustainable practices to ensure long-term and sustained food security. Water is a key ingredient for food production. Ensuring sustainable water management in agriculture is thus esse...

Microplastic (MP) contamination in agricultural soils is an emerging environmental hazard with poorly understood impacts on crops. Here, we investigated concentration-dependent effects of polyethylene MPs on tomato (Sola...

Biotic and abiotic stresses reduce crop yields, yet existing image‑based diagnostic models are often crop‑specific, computationally intensive, and poorly interpretable. This study present: (i) a multi-crop diagnostic...

Antimony (Sb), a toxic and potentially carcinogenic element, can readily accumulate in rice, posing challenges to both food safety and agricultural production. Building upon the previous study on the highly antimony-tole...

Climate change-induced shocks, particularly drought, are more prevalent and causing drastic changes in farming and livelihood in the Barind Tract region of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aims to identify drought shock...
