As calls for bolstering environmental services on croplands have grown more insistent during the past two decades, the search for ways to foster sustainable, reduced input agriculture has become more urgent. In this context we re-examine by means of a meta-analysis the argument, first proposed by...
In a field experiment in Palmira, Colombia, we studied mycorrhizal root colonization, phosphomonoesterase activities and P and N foliar content before and after N fertilization among different Brachiaria genotypes with demonstrated biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity. Furthermore, ...

Alternative meat products are not the answer for poorer countries
In this report, we highlight the global importance of animal food sources, presenting measures of production, consumption and international trade of meat, milk and eggs, and emphasizing effects of these on developing countries. Our discussion points out the implications for smallholder producers,...

Climate Smart Agriculture: Models for Empowering Women Livestock Producers
Background
Child undernutrition is persistently high in the central Andes of Peru, and numerous smallholder households fail to meet their basic needs of energy, iron and zinc. Food-based approaches assume household-level nutrition can be improved following agricultural interventions. This study ...
