  • Data-driven strategies to improve nitrogen use efficiency of rice farming in South Asia

    Open AccessSam Coggin, Andrew J Mcdonald et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2025References: 3

    Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in agricultural production mitigates climate change, limits water pollution and reduces fertilizer subsidy costs. Nevertheless, strategies for increasing NUE without jeopardizing food security are uncertain in globally important cropping systems. Here we analyse a novel dataset of more than 31,000 farmer fields spanning the Terai of Nepal, Bangladesh’s floodplains and four major rice-producing regions of I…

  • Understanding decision processes in becoming a fee-for-hire service provider

    Open AccessBrendan Brown, Arindam Samaddar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2021Cited by: 3

    While Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) has numerous potential benefits to smallholder farmers in the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia, it's out-scaling has been limited by both a lack of demand by farmers and limited supply of DSR services by machinery owners. This contrasts with the comparatively more rapid scaling of zero tillage wheat in the region. This trend is yet to be fully explored, particularly when focus has been placed almost exclusively…

  • Human Activity and Its Impact on Vegetation

    Open AccessP Venu, Virender Kumar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Ecology1990

    Sikkim, the smallest hilly state of the Indian Union lies in the Eastern Himalayas. Owing to altitudinal variation (300 to 8,400 metres) the state exhibits climate ranging from Sub-tropical to Alpine. In addition to the variety of environments, there is a large variety of ethnic groups solely depending on the nearby forests for their day to day needs. High population pressure and lack of economic opportunities has led to ‘over use’ of environment…
