Fonte, Steven J.Vanek, Steven J.Oyarzun, PedroParsa, SoroushQuintero, Diana CarolinaRao, Idupulapati M.Lavelle, Patrick M.[Pathways to agroecological intensification of soil fertility management by smallholder farmers in the Andean highlands]Pathways to agroecological intensification of soil fertility management by smallholder farmers in the Andean highlands

Based on urgent needs for food security compounded by a changing climate which impacts and is impacted by agricultural land-use and food distribution practices, we explore the processes of action in implementing agroecological food systems. We identified the following characteristics for an agroe...


Vaarst, MetteEscudero, Arthur GetzChappell, M. JahiBrinkley, CatherineNijbroek, Ravic P.Arraes, Nilson A.M.Andreasen, LiseGattinger, AndreasFonseca De Almeida, GustavoBossio, Deborah A.Halbergh, Niels[Exploring the concept of agroecological food systems in a city-region context]Exploring the concept of agroecological food systems in a city-region context

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...


Rudel, Thomas K.Kwon, Oh-JungPaul, Birthe K.Boval, MarylineRao, Idupulapati M.Burbano, DianaMcGroddy, MeganLerner, Amy MWhite, DouglasCuchillo-Hilario, MarioPeters, Michael[Do smallholder, mixed crop-livestock livelihoods encourage sustainable agricultural practices? A meta-analysis]Do smallholder, mixed crop-livestock livelihoods encourage sustainable agricultural practices? A meta-analysis

The notion of eco-efficiency – first put forward by the private-sector at the time of the 1992 Earth Summit – has since been taken up by experts in agriculture as a guiding principle for research. Eco-efficient agriculture, according to a CIAT report, is competitive and profitable as well as sust...

The role of soil organic carbon in global carbon cycles is receiving increasing attention both as a potentially large and uncertain source of CO2 emissions in response to predicted global temperature rises, and as a natural sink for carbon able to reduce atmospheric CO2. There is general agreemen...


Zomer, Robert J.Bossio, Deborah A.Sommer, RolfVerchot, Louis V.[Global Sequestration Potential of Increased Organic Carbon in Cropland Soils]Global Sequestration Potential of Increased Organic Carbon in Cropland Soils

Nudging the development trajectory of tropical landscapes towards sustainability requires a global commitment and policies that take diverse contexts and forest transitions into account. Out-scaling and upscaling landscape-level actions to achieve sustainable development goals globally need to be...

Kearney, Sean P.Fonte, Steven J.García, E.Siles, PabloChan, Kai M.A.Smukler, Sean M.[Evaluating ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies from slash-and-mulch agroforestry systems in El Salvador]Evaluating ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies from slash-and-mulch agroforestry systems in El Salvador

Latin America has historically been a vanguard of agroecology. In Nicaragua, an agroecological transition is occurring, with three decades of building a groundswell based on the farmer-to-farmer movement and the recent institutionalization of agroecology in national law. Yet, problems remain with...
