Promoting net-zero economy through climate-smart agriculture: transition towards sustainabilitySustainability Science - Tập 18 - Trang 2107-2119 - 2023
Md Nazirul Islam Sarker, Babul Hossain, Guoqing Shi, R. B. Radin Firdaus
Climate smart agriculture (CSA) is a potential approach for promoting a net-zero economy. CSA is one of the key approaches that can provide a sufficient agri-food supply to feed a rapidly increasing population with minimum greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. Net-zero is an intrinsic approach to tackling the adverse effects of climate change that ensures minimum GHG emissions and removes GHG ...... hiện toàn bộ

An extractive bioeconomy? Phosphate mining, fertilizer commodity chains, and alternative technologiesSustainability Science - Tập 18 - Trang 633-644 - 2022
Axel Anlauf
Various bioeconomy strategies seek to replace fossil resources with renewable agrarian resources without departing from the agro-industrial model. Paradoxically, industrial agriculture is an extractive system itself, dependent on the constant supply of mineral resources to replace the nutrients extracted from the soil. This article analyses the evolution of nutrient flows in this system from a his...... hiện toàn bộ
