A significant challenge to increasing the area of plantations of high-value timber species is maintaining the income of smallholders while the trees grow to harvestable size. Potential solutions include incentive payments (including payments for environmental services), and encouraging smallholders to grow...
and has designated the field as one of five critical technologies2. Engineering biology is sometimes synonymous with synthetic biology or biological engineering, although in this case, the goal is to take synthetic biology concepts and translate them into practical solutions to address real-world issue...
The use of plant-based leathers comes during a time when scientists and innovators are trying to come up with solutions for the climate crisis and animal agriculture. Environmentally, manufacturing animal-based leathers creates havoc because of deforestation and methane (甲烷) emissions connected to th...
The task also tackles gaps and barriers to successfully promote the deployment of sustainable biorefinery systems [36]. Since biotechnology provides environmentally friendly solutions, it has a vital positive impact on both the chemistry and energy industries. Biorefineries, which use bioprocesses like ...
Natural climate solutions (NCS) present opportunities to address climate change while promoting biodiversity conservation and human well-being. The IPCC suggests that to prevent global temperature increases beyond 2 °C, NCS must remove and store around 10 GtCO2 from the atmosphere annually, of ...
Data that allow DSS elaboration often need to be examined by Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI technologies, such as Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), have found numerous applications in agriculture, offering solutions to various challenges [97,98,99,100,101,102,103], and could re...
forests requires unprecedented levels of co-operation and support at both a local and global level, supported by initiatives such as Trillion Trees that are accelerating delivery on the ground. We have the solutions at our fingertips; we just need the global political will to fight for our ...

economic, and environmental advantages [10]. While agroforestry has been a longstanding practice in Europe for centuries, it has only recently gained attention from scientific communities as part of finding solutions to combat climate change and use all natural resources in a sustainable manner [11,...
Mangrove forests store high densities of organic carbon, which, when coupled with high rates of deforestation, means that mangroves have the potential to contribute substantially to carbon emissions. Consequently, mangroves are strong candidates for inclusion in nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to...
