Knowledge and Precaution. On Organic Farmers Assessment of New Technology
Organic farming is under constant pressure to reinvent itself by adopting new technologies.

An Indicator Framework for Assessing Agroecosystem Resilience
"Taking departure in the theory of resilience in social-ecological systems, we present an analysis and discussion of how resilience theory can be applied to agroecosystems. Building on the premise that agroecosystems are too complex for resilience to be measured in any precise manner, we delineate behavior-based indicators of resilience within agroecosystems. Based on a review of relevant literature, we present and discuss an index of 13 such ind…

New Challenges in Underprivileged Regions Call for People-Centered Research for Development
The need for enhancing food production and availability in underprivileged regions of the world requires the attention of scientists.

New challenges that particularly influence food production in un…
