A physical reaction: Locating the Contemporary Photobook in Post-Situations
Alors que le photobook s’est beaucoup développé depuis le début du nouveau millénaire, l'intérêt s'est porté sur son histoire. Mais une faible attention a été accordée au rôle joué par le web 2.0 dans le processus de développement de son écologie spécifique. Ici, les contextes post-numérique et post-photographique seront en revanche présentés comme déterminants. L'histoire récente du photobook ne paraît pas seulement avoir été facilitée par les t…
Environmental Justice and Dissent for Postcolonial Urban Sustainability Transitions
Environmental justice principles are widespread at national and global levels of transition discourse, but this is sometimes irrelevant to marginalized communities. To address this issue, we apply environmental justice theory to a participatory postcolonial urban case study where poverty, unemployment and inequality continue to incentivize unregulated exploitation of vulnerable environments and people. It is unclear how national legislation can p…
Leverage points for improving global food security and the environment
How to optimize global food production Keeping societies stable and managing Earth's resources sustainably depend on doing a good, steady job producing and distributing food. West et al. asked what combinations of crops and regions offer the best chance of progress. Their analysis focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient pollution, water use, and food waste. They identify regions that are likely to yield the best balance between app…
Closing yield gaps through nutrient and water management
Solutions for a cultivated planet
Increasing population and consumption are placing unprecedented demands on agriculture and natural resources. Today, approximately a billion people are chronically malnourished while our agricultural systems are concurrently degrading land, water, biodiversity and climate on a global scale. To meet the world's future food security and sustainability needs, food production must grow substantially while, at the same time, agriculture's environmenta…
Closing the gap: Global potential for increasing biofuel production through agricultural intensification
Since the end of World War II, global agriculture has undergone a period of rapid intensification achieved through a combination of increased applications of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, the implementation of best management practice techniques, mechanization, irrigation, and more recently, through the use of optimized seed varieties and genetic engineering. However, not all crops and not all regions of the world have realize…

Mind the gap: How do climate and agricultural management explain the ‘yield gap’ of croplands around the world?
Aim As the demands for food, feed and fuel increase in coming decades, society will be pressed to increase agricultural production – whether by increasing yields on already cultivated lands or by cultivating currently natural areas – or to change current crop consumption patterns. In this analysis, we consider where yields might be increased on existing croplands, and how crop yields are constrained by biophysical (e.g. climate) versus management…
Resetting global expectations from agricultural biofuels
Aggressive renewable energy policies have helped the biofuels industry grow at a rate few could have predicted. However, while discourse on the energy balance and environmental impacts of agricultural biofuel feedstocks are common, the potential they hold for additional production has received considerably less attention. Here we present a new biofuel yield analysis based on the best available global agricultural census data. These new data give …

Carbon payback times for crop-based biofuel expansion in the tropics: The effects of changing yield and technology
Biofuels from land-rich tropical countries may help displace foreign petroleum imports for many industrialized nations, providing a possible solution to the twin challenges of energy security and climate change. But concern is mounting that crop-based biofuels will increase net greenhouse gas emissions if feedstocks are produced by expanding agricultural lands. Here we quantify the 'carbon payback time' for a range of biofuel crop expansion pathw…
