Naturally ventilated building with an outdoor exercising area is a typical system for housing the dairy cattle in China, and it is still a challenge to find a technical solution to accurately measure gas emissions from the open yard directly. Chamber technique has been approved to be a potential ...

Teams of crop, economic, and climate scientists in Southeastern Africa are exploring opportunities to reduce risk and increase resilience in Southern Africa using an integrated multi-modeling approach. The project characterizes selected mixed farming systems in Southern Africa in terms of biophys...

A recurrent issue for data integration is the lack of a common and structured vocabulary used by different parties to describe their data sets. The Crop Ontology (www.cropontology.org) project aims to provide a central place where the crop community can gather to generate such standardized vocabu...

The global food system makes a significant contribution to climate changing greenhouse gas emissions with all stages in the supply chain, from agricultural production through processing, distribution, retailing, home food preparation and waste, playing a part. It also gives rise to other major en...

Grassland-based systems are no longer seen exclusively as livestock production enterprises but as multiple use systems with important consequences for the global environment. They are crucial for the protection of ecosystem goods and services, for tourism and for mitigating climate change. Well-m...

There is an increasing recognition of climate change, and that it is likely to result, inter alia, in more erratic rainfall that will affect Africa’s predominantly rainfed agriculture. Much of Africa’s current rainfed agriculture is already variously exposed to weather vagaries such as dry spells...

Grasslands are one of the world's most widespread vegetation types, covering nearly 20% of the land surface and represent a major source of production of agricultural products. However, grassland vegetation across the Mediterranean region is changing at an unanticipated rate. These changes are th...

Tillage practices contribute greatly to the labour cost in modern intensive agriculture in any crop production system resulting in lower economic returns, especially in developing countries where there is most concern for sustainable production without degradation of the natural resource base (Ja...

Maize, wheat and rice, the major cereals grown as monoculture or in sequence, contribute the bulk of food and incomes in rural regions of South Asia. The large increases in food production are one of the greatest achievements of the second half of the 20th century, but sustaining these gains is a...
