. Surprisingly, we found no LCA or carbon footprint studies that compared conservation agriculture, i.e. the combination of no tillage, organic soil cover and crop rotation, to conventional agriculture ...
in cultivated land across China over the past few decades [2]. To increase crop productivity and sustain its large population, the conventional approach in China is to intensively apply high carbon inputs ...
the carbon footprint in two ways. First, pasture and crop management can increase soil carbon sequestration [9, 10]. Use of improved grazing practices in some pasture-finished systems has sequestered enough ...
% of the total UK arable agricultural area would be needed to meet the RTFO targets from home-grown first-generation biofuel crops . The current contribution to UK biofuels is only 8.5%, corresponding to 23 000 ...
is to reduce selection pressure on single solution strategies, by creating additive/synergistic interactions between IPM components. IPM is compatible with organic , conventional , and GM cropping systems ...
, 2014) that the feeds and foods from first-generation GM crops are safe and can be rated equivalent to their conventional counterparts as modified feeds revealed no significant impact on the composition ...
the net carbon footprint in the whole system under review (Teague et al., 2016). This includes accounting for the beneficial ecosystem services such as those from carbon sequestered in grazing ecosystems ...
through grazing alone can be relatively high. Green water footprints can easily reach more than 19,000 L/kg for beef from grazing compared with a maximum of 1,731 L/kg for chicken under a typical scenario ...
