sustainable agriculture, a system offarmingthat strives to provide the resources necessary for present human populations while conserving the planet’s ability to sustain future generations.See alsoorganic farming,regenerative agriculture,permaculture, andagroforestry. ...
Conserving soil and water resources. Staying economically viable. Encouraging biological diversity. Healthy, biologically active soils lead to healthier, more insect- and disease-resistant plants and animals. Natural or supplemented populations of beneficial insects (“good bugs”) will keep pests (“bad...
We systematically evaluate the current state-of-the art on the models and tools that are utilised for the optimum allocation, design and efficiency evaluation of NBS for five HMRs (flooding, droughts, heatwaves, landslides, and storm surges and coastal erosion). We found that methods to assess...
wind erosionCurrent interest in soil-conserving tillage in China has developed from the concern that Chinese agricultural land loses 73路8Mg C annually. Previous research has shown that changing from conventional tillage to conservation tillage field management increases soil C sequestration. The aim of...
Agriculture also generates environmental benefits and services, for example, conserving wildlife habitat, acting as a sink for greenhouse gases and providing landscape amenity. This book is the first comprehensive study to review and take stock in OECD countries of progress in developing indicators to ...
This inefficiency not only wastes energy but also raises the overall carbon footprint of water utilities, as more power is consumed to deliver the same amount of water [5]. Moreover, soil erosion and infrastructure degradation are commonly observed as secondary effects of continuous water leakage....
the subplots were differentiated by two grass planting methods: seeding and seedling transplanting; the sub-subplots were differentiated by the soil moisture retainers used: (1) application on the soil of 10 t ha−1of corn harvest residue (CHR) as organic cover on the soil surface, (2) app...
