Organic agriculture and the global food supply
Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 86-108 - 2007
AbstractThe principal objections to the proposition that organic agriculture can
contribute significantly to the global food supply are low yields and
insufficient quantities of organically acceptable fertilizers. We evaluated the
universality of both claims. For the first claim, we compared yields of organic
versus conventional or low-intensive food production for a global dataset of 293
examples...
Comparison of consumer perceptions and preference toward organic versus conventionally produced foods: A review and update of the literature
Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 193-205 - 2005
AbstractGrowing interest in organic agriculture has prompted numerous studies
that compare various aspects of organic and conventionally produced foods. This
paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of empirical studies comparing organic
products and conventionally grown alternatives. The emphasis is on key organic
consumer demand and marketing issues, including: (1) the implications of an
econom...
Barriers to adoption of sustainable agriculture practices: Change agent perspectives
Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 60-71 - 2009
AbstractConventional agriculture systems of production often lead to
environmental degradation, economic problems and even social conflict. The
efficacy of agriculture systems conducive to the economic, environmental and
social sustainability of farming operations has been demonstrated, yet the
adoption of sustainable agricultural practices is not widespread. This
qualitative study is based on a w...
Reconciling productivity with protection of the environment: Is temperate agroforestry the answer?
Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 80-92 - 2013
AbstractMeeting the needs for a growing world population calls for
multifunctional land use, which can meet the multiple demands of food and fuel
production, environmental and biodiversity protection, and has the capacity for
adaptation or resilience to climate change. Agroforestry, a land-use system that
integrates trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock production, has been
identified by th...
Testing a complete-diet model for estimating the land resource requirements of food consumption and agricultural carrying capacity: The New York State example
Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 145-153 - 2007
AbstractAgriculture faces a multitude of challenges in the 21st century, and new
tools are needed to help determine how it should respond. Among these challenges
is a need to reconcile how human food consumption patterns should change to both
improve human nutrition and reduce agriculture's environmental footprint. A
complete-diet framework is needed for better understanding how diet influences
de...
Agroecosystem resilience and farmers’ perceptions of climate change impacts on cocoa farms in Alto Beni, Bolivia
Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 170-183 - 2015
AbstractCocoa-based small-scale agriculture is the most important source of
income for most farming families in the region of Alto Beni in the sub-humid
foothills of the Andes. Cocoa is grown in cultivation systems of varying
ecological complexity. The plantations are highly susceptible to climate change
impacts. Local cocoa producers mention heat waves, droughts, floods and plant
diseases as the ...
A European perspective for developing modern multifunctional agroforestry systems for sustainable intensification
Tập 27 Số 4 - Trang 323-332 - 2012
AbstractOne of the key questions of primary importance to global agriculture and
food security is how to optimize sustainable intensification to balance
competing demands on land for food and energy production, while ensuring the
provision of ecosystem services and maintaining or increasing yields.
Integrating trees and agriculture through agroforestry has been attracting
increasing interest as an...
Grower perceptions of native pollinators and pollination strategies in the lowbush blueberry industry
Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 124-131 - 2015
AbstractPollinator declines and dependence on insect pollination, particularly
in fruit and vegetable crops, creates a pressing need to understand growers'
interactions with pollinators and factors affecting pollination strategies. At
present, many growers are dependent on commercial honey bees (Apis mellifera),
but diversified strategies may be necessary to secure adequate crop pollination
in the...
Ecosystem services and tradeoffs in the home food gardens of African American, Chinese-origin and Mexican-origin households in Chicago, IL
Tập 32 Số 1 - Trang 69-86 - 2017
AbstractWith increasing urbanization and environmental degradation, urban
landscapes are increasingly expected to provide a wide range of ecosystem
services typically associated with rural areas, including biodiversity
conservation and food production. Because residential landscapes constitute the
largest single urban land use, domestic gardens have emerged as a topic of
research interest and plan...
Apple grower pollination practices and perceptions of alternative pollinators in New York and Pennsylvania
Tập 35 Số 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2020
AbstractPollinator declines coupled with increasing demand for insect pollinated
crops have the potential to cause future pollinator shortages for our most
nutritious and valuable crops. Ensuring adequate crop pollination may
necessitate a shift in pollination management, from one that primarily relies on
the managed European honeybee (Apis melliferaL.) to one that integrates
alternative pollinato...
