No-till (NT) cropping systems have been proposed as a strategy to combat soil degradation by storing soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN). We quantified the impacts...

Background: Demand for organic foods remains low, despite the potential of organic products to contribute to sustainable food systems. Food purchasing decisions are influenced...

Introduction: The increasing frequency of extreme weather events has posed significant challenges to global food security. While it is well established that such events can...

Livestock significantly contribute to biodiversity loss, primarily due to changes in land use, overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, and climate change. Intensive...

Agricultural intensification has resulted in arable systems dominated by monocultures that are reliant on agrochemical inputs and frequent tillage to maintain high crop yields....

Soil fertility plays an important role in crop production. However, continuous cropping with minimal fertilizer application has resulted in declining soil fertility and...

The increasing global demand for food and energy is intensifying land-use competition. Agrivoltaic systems are a multifunctional land-use approach that vertically integrates the...

Litter decomposition is a critical Earth process, recycling nutrients and setting a portion of plant tissue on a path toward soil organic matter. Despite this importance, we...

Urban agriculture (UA) has emerged as a key strategy to address food insecurity, climate change, and urban sustainability. This review synthesizes global evidence on the...

Although evidence continues to indicate an urgent need to transition food systems away from industrialized monocultures and toward agroecological production, there is little...

As the gravity of the global social and ecological crises become more apparent, there is a growing recognition of the need for social transformation. In this article, we use a...

Farmer participation in the co-production of knowledge has been claimed to have many benefits, including its capacity to address the knowledge intensiveness and ecological...

Given the unpredictability, increasing frequency and severity of climatic events, it is crucial to determine the adaptation limits of agroecological strategies adopted by...

The global food system is in the midst of a structural crisis characterized by the commodification of food and the dominance of market-oriented production logic, threatening...

Sustainably intensifying agriculture to secure food for people, while minimizing the human, animal, and environmental health impacts is an unprecedented global food security...

Modern agriculture has increased yields but degraded socio-ecological systems all over the world. Consequently, advocates of regenerative agriculture (RA) aim to regenerate land...

The 15 studies highlighted in this special issue collectively underscore the significant impacts of market participation on farmers’ well-being, income, poverty reduction,...

In recent decades in northwest Vietnam, Arabica coffee has been grown on sloping land in intensive, full sun monocultures that are not sustainable in the long term and have...

Tea is a very important cash crop in Vietnam as it provides crucial income and employment for farmers in poor rural areas. Unfortunately, the dominance of long-term,...

The development of Vietnam's agriculture and rural areas in the period from now to 2030 is of particular interest to the Party and the State of Vietnam, determined in the...
