  • Agricultural diversity, farmers’ definitions and uses

    Open AccessFrancesco Tacconi, Darcy Lefroy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2024References: 9

    Agricultural diversity can contribute to improving agriculture and food systems sustainability, but it is commonly associated with smallholdings and subsistence farming. The drivers and trade-offs around diversification strategies in high-income countries remain poorly understood. Tasmania, due to its diverse climate and geography, is among the most agro-diverse regions in Australia, which makes it an interesting case to study. This paper address…

  • Too much, too soon? Early-maturing maize varieties as drought escape strategy in Malawi

    Open AccessUwe Grewer, Dong‐Hyuk Kim et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2024References: 3

    Early-maturing varieties increase drought tolerance under suitable conditions. • In Malawi, early-maturing varieties are partially adopted in unsuitable locations. • When water stress is limited to the late-season, early-maturing varieties constitute the best variety choice. • When water stress starts from mid-season, early-maturing varieties are highly unsuitable. • Variety recommendations can be developed based on the typical timing of water st…

  • Global rangeland production systems and livelihoods at threat under climate change and variability

    Open AccessCécile Godde, Randall B Boone et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Rangelands are one of the Earth’s major ice-free land cover types. They provide food and support livelihoods for millions of people in addition to delivering important ecosystems services. However, rangelands are at threat from climate change, although the extent and magnitude of the potential impacts are poorly understood. Any declines in vegetation biomass and fluctuations in grazing availability would be of concern for food production and ecos…

  • Multiple cropping systems of the world and the potential for increasing cropping intensity

    Open AccessKatharina Waha, Jan Philipp Dietrich et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2020Cited by: 5References: 3

    Multiple cropping, defined as harvesting more than once a year, is a widespread land management strategy in tropical and subtropical agriculture. It is a way of intensifying agricultural production and diversifying the crop mix for economic and environmental benefits. Here we present the first global gridded data set of multiple cropping systems and quantify the physical area of more than 200 systems, the global multiple cropping area and the pot…

  • Trends in Global Agricultural Land Use

    Open AccessNavin Ramankutty, Zia Mehrabi et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Plant Biology2018

    The eighteenth-century Malthusian prediction of population growth outstripping food production has not yet come to bear. Unprecedented agricultural land expansions since 1700, and technological innovations that began in the 1930s, have enabled more calorie production per capita than was ever available before in history. This remarkable success, however, has come at a great cost. Agriculture is a major cause of global environmental degradation. Ma…

  • Farming and the geography of nutrient production for human use

    Open AccessMario Herrero, Philip K Thornton et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Planetary Health2017

    Background Information about the global structure of agriculture and nutrient production and its diversity is essential to improve present understanding of national food production patterns, agricultural livelihoods, and food chains, and their linkages to land use and their associated ecosystems services. Here we provide a plausible breakdown of global agricultural and nutrient production by farm size, and also study the associations between farm…

  • How model and input uncertainty impact maize yield simulations in West Africa

    Open AccessKatharina Waha, Neil Huth et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Crop models are common tools for simulating crop yields and crop production in studies on food security and global change. Various uncertainties however exist, not only in the model design and model parameters, but also and maybe even more important in soil, climate and management input data. We analyze the performance of the point-scale crop model APSIM and the global scale crop model LPJmL with different climate and soil conditions under differ…
