Significance Food security under climate change depends on the yield performance of staple food crops. We found a decline in resilience European wheat most countries during last 5 to 15 y, depending country. The responses all cultivars different weather events were relatively similar within northern and central Europe, southern countries, specifically regarding durum wheat. also serious Europe-wide gaps resilience, especially abundant rain. Climate is currently not receiving attention it...
Phosphorus (P) flow from deposits through agriculture to waterways leads eutrophication and depletion of P reserves. Therefore, must be recycled. Low unpredictable plant availability in residues is considered a limiting factor for recycling. We identified the determinants plant-availability agrifood residues. quantified Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) field soil fractions with different availabilities as response manure sewage sludge range capture hygienization treatments. was more...
SUMMARY Ethiopia is one of the countries most vulnerable to impacts climate variability and change on agriculture. The present study aims understand characterize agro-climatic changes associated risks with respect implications for rainfed crop production in Central Rift Valley (CRV). Temporal extreme values selected rainfall temperature indices were analysed trends evaluated using Sen's slope estimator Mann–Kendall trend test methods. Projected future 2080s relative 1971–90 baseline period...
The frequency and intensity of extreme weather is increasing concomitant with changes in the global climate change. Although wheat most important food crop Europe, there currently no comprehensive empirical information available regarding sensitivity European to weather. In this study, we assessed yields related phenology (sowing, heading) cultivar trials across Europe (latitudes 37.21° 61.34° longitudes −6.02° 26.24°) during period 1991–2014. All observed agro-climatic extremes (≥31 °C, ≥35...
The global food demand is projected to significantly increase. To maintain security in the future, protein production needs become more efficient regarding use of limited land and water resources. Protein-rich biomass can be produced via direct air capture CO2 with help H2-oxidizing bacteria renewable electricity a closed, climate-independent system. This quantitative literature review conservatively estimated bacterial relying on secondary data for components technology reference sources. A...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute the theory and practice supply chain management in terms how an organisation should structure its base be resilient uncertainties disruptions. An empirical assessment supplier response diversity demonstrated, following research question posed: Is suppliers positively associated with resilience, more than mere is? Design/Methodology/Approach Resilience operationalised as maintenance sales two food products 27 southern Finnish retail stores...
As part of the current climate change debate, concerns have been raised over rapid expansion soybean cultivation as major protein source to feed animals for human consumption. At same time, insect-based is rapidly emerging an alternative animal-based protein, both a potential substitute soybean-based use in animal feed, and direct The assessment impacts market potentials novel food products related such requires their carbon footprints. This paper explores extent which insect could help...
Global climate change is predicted to shift seasonal temperature and precipitation patterns. An increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as heat waves prolonged droughts predicted, but there are high levels uncertainty about the nature local changes. Crop adaptation will be important in reducing potential damage agriculture. diversity may enhance resilience variability changes that difficult predict. Therefore, has sufficient within set available cultivars response parameters...
(i) to identify at national scale areas where crop yield formation is currently most prone climate-induced stresses, (ii) evaluate how the severity of these stresses likely develop in time and space, (iii) appraise quantify performance two strategies for adapting cultivation a wide range (uncertain) climate change projections. To this end we made use extensive climate, crop, soil data, modelling tools: N-AgriCLIM WOFOST simulation model. was developed automatic generation indicators...
Abstract Purpose Renewable energy produced from wind turbines and solar photovoltaics (PV) has rapidly increased its share in global markets. At the same time, interest producing hydrocarbons via power-to-X (PtX) approaches using renewables grown as technology matured. However, there exist knowledge gaps related to environmental impacts of some PtX approaches. Power-to-food (PtF) application is one those To evaluate different PtF approaches, life cycle assessment was performed. Methods The...
Abstract Several safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the operating space humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored among seven variables representing relevant food production, identifying many little in literature. We found that green water and land change affect other strongly, while land, freshwater ocean components biosphere integrity are most...
Agroforestry represents a potentially multi-beneficial approach to land management as it may enhance farming household's income and stability simultaneously with nutrition security climate change mitigation. However, our comprehension of the specific characteristics within agroforestry systems that bolster economic productivity remains limited, exacerbating challenges for smallholder livelihoods. This complexity is compounded by potential influence carbon revenue, adding an additional layer...
Recent research suggests that anthropogenic nutrient flows may have transgressed the regulatory capacity of earth. Agrifood systems account for most flows, and food supply is limited more by reducing excessive than phosphorus (P) reserves or population growth. The primarily P flow tolerated freshwater ecosystems next needed reduction in conversion nitrogen (N) to reactive form fertilizer manufacture, legume cultivation fossil fuel combustion. required N would reduce 250 710 kcal capita−1...
Soil carbon sequestration has a great potential in climate change mitigation. To maximise stocks northern agricultural soils, the determinants of manure application are crucial. We quantified effect on soil organic (SOC) depending rate, proportion leys relative to annuals crop rotation, and texture. compared steady-state SOC concentration under farm-yard control treatment with no based 56 individual long-term experiments at 27 locations north 50 degrees latitude. At low rate such as 0.7 Mg...

Phosphorus (P) extractability, and thus plant-availability, in processed agrifood residues incorporated soil is not directly related to the extractability before incorporation. However, release of P has been demonstrated over seasons, mechanisms involved are well understood. We identified fate fractions manure sewage sludge with current methods after incubation for two weeks, 2.5 months 12 sandy loam or clay, using a modified Hedley fractionation scheme. also sorption soil, determinants.

Intensified climate and market turbulence requires resilience to a multitude of changes. Diversity reduces the sensitivity disturbance fosters capacity adapt various future scenarios. What really matters is diversity responses. Despite appeals manage resilience, conceptual developments have not yet yielded break-through in empirical applications. Here, we present an approach empirically reveal 'response diversity': factors change that are critical system identified, response determined based...
Global changes, especially the progression of climate change, create a plethora adaptation needs for social-ecological systems.With increasing uncertainty, more resilient food systems that are able to adapt and shape their operations in response emerging challenges required.Most research on this subject has been focused developing countries; however, developed countries also face environmental, economic, social pressures.Because complex involve multiple actors, using codesign might be most...
The impact of carbon revenue on the profitability agroforestry systems in comparison to monocultures is unexplored regard Sub-Saharan Africa. This study creates a multivariate model evaluate relative dominant Ethiopia by using stylized plots. Yields and stock changes eight were modeled based data from plots Ethiopian Central Rift Valley. According our model, was, average, four times more profitable than main monoculture (wheat, barley, maize, teff, sorghum, sugarcane lentil) even when...
