Organic apple production in Washington State: An input–output analysis
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 134-141 - 2006
Pon Nya Mon, David W. Holland
This paper provides an input–output (I/O)-based economic impact analysis for organic apple production in Washington State. The intent is to compare the economic ‘ripple’ effect of organic production with conventional production. The analysis is presented in two scenarios: first we compare the economic impact of organic versus conventional apple production for a final demand increase of US$...... hiện toàn bộ
Apple grower pollination practices and perceptions of alternative pollinators in New York and Pennsylvania
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 35 Số 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2020
Mia G. Park, Neelendra K. Joshi, Edwin G. Rajotte, David J. Biddinger, John E. Losey, Bryan N. Danforth
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 mellifera... hiện toàn bộ
Grower perceptions of native pollinators and pollination strategies in the lowbush blueberry industry
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 124-131 - 2015
Samuel P. Hanes, Kourtney Collum, Aaron Kinyu Hoshide, Eric Asare
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...... hiện toàn bộ

Barriers to adoption of sustainable agriculture practices: Change agent perspectives
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 60-71 - 2009
Joysee M. Rodriguez, Joseph J. Molnar, Robin Antony Fazio, Emily Sydnor, Mecca J. Lowe
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 ...... hiện toàn bộ
Ecosystem services and tradeoffs in the home food gardens of African American, Chinese-origin and Mexican-origin households in Chicago, IL
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 32 Số 1 - Trang 69-86 - 2017
John Taylor, Sarah Taylor Lovell, Sam E. Wortman, M.K. Chan
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 to...... hiện toàn bộ
Agroecosystem resilience and farmers’ perceptions of climate change impacts on cocoa farms in Alto Beni, Bolivia
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 170-183 - 2015
Johanna Jacobi, Monika Schneider, Patrick Bottazzi, Maria Isabel Pillco, Patricia Calizaya, Stephan Rist
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, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cultivating climate resilience: a participatory assessment of organic and conventional rice systems in the Philippines
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 33 Số 3 - Trang 225-237 - 2018
Amber Heckelman, Sean Smukler, Hannah Wittman
AbstractClimate change poses serious threats to agriculture. As a primary staple crop and major contributor to agriculturally derived greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, rice systems are of particular significance to building climate resilience. We report on a participatory assessment of climate resilience in organic and conventional rice systems located in four neighb...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of consumer perceptions and preference toward organic versus conventionally produced foods: A review and update of the literature
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 193-205 - 2005
Emmanuel K. Yiridoe, Samuel Bonti‐Ankomah, Ralph C. Martin
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: ...... hiện toàn bộ
No-till seeded spinach after winterkilled cover crops in an organic production system
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems - Tập 30 Số 5 - Trang 473-485 - 2015
Natalie P. Lounsbury, Ray R. Weil
AbstractOrganic no-till (NT) management strategies generally employ high-residue cover crops that act as weed-suppressing mulch. In temperate, humid regions such as the mid-Atlantic USA, high-residue winter cover crops can hinder early spring field work and immobilize nutrients for cash crops. This makes the integration of cover crops into rotations difficult for f...... hiện toàn bộ
