Life cycle assessment shows that integrating nut trees reduces carbon footprint of soybean farming

Tradeoff between economic and environmental assessment of paddy-wheat and maize-wheat cropping system in Indian Punjab: a pathway to sustainable agriculture

Focusing on sustainable production in agriculture, this study evaluates the tradeoff between economic and environmental factors in replacing the Paddy-Wheat (PW) cropping system with the Maize-Wheat (MW) system in Indian Punjab. To evaluate the MW cropping system as a diversification option in Punjab from both econom...

Reconciling carbon removals, greenhouse gas emissions, and yield in cocoa agroforestry systems of the Colombian Orinoquía

Life Cycle Assessment of Seaweed-Based Biostimulant Production: Environmental Hotspots, Cultivation Pathways, and Nutrient Substitution Potential

Seaweed-based biostimulants have emerged as promising sustainable agricultural inputs due to their potential to enhance crop productivity, improve nutrient use efficiency, and increase tolerance to abiotic stresses, thereby reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. However, the environmental performance of their...

Long-term effects of sustainable farming systems on carbon footprint, energy use efficiency and productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties under subtropical conditions

With increasing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices, understanding their long-term impacts on crop productivity, resource-use efficiency and environmental sustainability has become essential. The experiment was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Jammu during the rabi seasons from 2020–21 to 2024–25 to evalua...

Carbon stocks and yields in smallholder cocoa agroforestry systems along a climatic gradient in Ghana

Cocoa agroforestry systems are recognized for their potential to reconcile agricultural production with climate change mitigation, yet the mechanisms governing carbon storage across environmental gradients remain poorly understood. Here, we examined above- and belowground carbon stocks of cocoa and shade trees as well...

Environmental Sustainability of Soybean Production in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Cases of Production Systems in the South‐Kivu and Kasaï‐Lomami Provinces

Soybean is increasingly grown in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), produced mainly in small‐scale systems and supplied locally for human consumption. Prospects of large‐scale expansion and intensification, with potential environmental drawbacks, loom and call for a sustainability analysis of soybean agri‐fo...
