The environmental and biodiversity benefits of organic farming are widely recognized, but there is still controversy about the effects production methods on nutritional composition food human health. In first part this article therefore, we critically review evidence that improve quality crops. Moreover, summarize our current understanding how gains linked to implementation “innovations” introduced into conventional crop during intensification or “green revolution” agriculture over last 100...
Animal production intensification puts pressure on resources, leads to environmental impacts, animal welfare and biodiversity issues. Livestock products provide key components of the human diet contribute rural territories through ecosystem services such as nutrient biomass recycling. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is assess impacts in livestock systems products. A harmonization LCA methods necessary improve evaluations these areas still lacks accuracy robustness addressing sustainability...
Silvopastoral agroforestry systems combine the management of livestock and trees or other woody perennials on same land. Aside from giving farmers an opportunity to diversify their income reduce inputs, these have been shown provide a number ecological benefits. Given growing demand for environmentally produced food, this paper assessed how silvopastoral distribute products in context alternative food networks (AFN). Applying Global Production Network (GPN) analysis, distribution output was...
