Henry Gordon-Smith, vice chair of The Association for Vertical Farming and an alumnus of the Master of Science in Sustainability Management program, said that because vertical farming is a rapidly growing and young industry, it is important to develop a strategy capable of defining its impacts ear...
Increasingly, regulators and policymakers in large agricultural regions are realizing that support for sustainable agriculture is critical to their country’s economic future. They are also addressing the shortcomings in their country’s farming approaches. This trend will have an outsize impact on the ...
2015b). Global sustainability is increasingly understood as a prerequisite to attain human development (UN GSP 2012) at all scales, from local farming communities to cities, nations, and the world (Folke et al. 2005). The reason is that we have entered a new geological epoch, the ...
Soy production impinges negatively on theregeneration of soil and water quality; much of current soy production is a mono-culture with adverse consequences for soil structure. These problems may be partly solved by more appropriate farming methods (more nature-inclusive, more diversified, more water ...
To identify the causality, the design compared farmers participating in irrigation farming by creating clusters during analysis: those engaged in irrigation and that value collective action, and those engaged in both irrigation and rainfed in each of the scheme surveyed. The second data approach ...

Africa had high rates of rural poverty, with over 80% of the rural population living under $2 per day [45], and bioenergy production was thought as one solution to reduce poverty and then liquid biofuel production need to be included with local development agenda of rural farming systems. Pr...
Science and innovation that strengthens sustainability, while improving productivity and on-farm profits, is possible. Such systems have been developed in Australia (Williams and McKenzie2008a,b) and elsewhere and have been adopted by grain growers who are moving increasingly to conservation farming te...
