View article: Marginal cost of carbon sequestration using straw-based biochar in Great Britain
Marginal cost of carbon sequestration using straw-based biochar in Great Britain Open
Achieving the net-zero target of the United Kingdom requires substantial greenhouse gas removal (GGR) in addition to emissions reductions. Biochar, a stable carbon-rich material produced through biomass pyrolysis, is an established GGR met…

Environmental and farming practice controls of productivity of <i>Cyrtosperma merkusii</i> (giant swamp taro), an underutilised wetland and potential paludiculture crop Open
Growing recognition of the potential vulnerabilities of major crop systems has spurred a growing interest in the potential of alternative crops which may be resilient to climate change and also help mitigate its effects. In Indonesia, such…

Nitrogen balance is a predictor of farm business performance in the English Farm Business Survey Open
Global environmental sustainability and food security are fundamental societal issues, and most crop production relies upon inputs from organic or inorganic nitrogen sources. Previous research in the Global North has demonstrated a typical…

Resilience to shocks in Malawian households Open
Building up resilience in agricultural households has assumed a critical role in development strategies in recent years because, it is argued, the costs of strengthening resilience are less than the recurring expenditure for disaster assis…

More sustainable vegetable oil: balancing productivity with carbon storage opportunities Open
Intensive cultivation and post-harvest vegetable oil production stages are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Variation between production systems and reporting disparity have resulted in discordance in previous emissions est…

Operating at the extreme: estimating the upper yield boundary of winter wheat production in commercial practice Open
Wheat farming provides 28.5% of global cereal production. After steady growth in average crop yield from 1950 to 1990, wheat yields have generally stagnated, which prompts the question of whether further improvements are possible. Statisti…

Identifying the role of women in UK farming through a systematic review of international literature Open
Women play an imperative role in the economic strengthening and sustainability of the agricultural sector, yet very little economic research documents the role and contribution of farming women in developed countries. Through an interdisci…

View article: The uptake of different tillage practices in England
The uptake of different tillage practices in England Open
Reduced tillage systems have been argued to provide several potential benefits to soil, environment and to farm incomes. In England, while many farms have partially adopted such practices, a large proportion of arable farmers do not undert…
'Farms like mine': a novel method in peer matching for agricultural benchmarking. Open
To find opportunities to improve performance, comparisons between farms are often made using aggregates of standard typologies. Being aggregates, farm types in these typologies contain significant numbers of atypical enterprises and thus a…

‘Farms like Mine’: A Big Data Method in Peer Matching for Agricultural Benchmarking Open
To find opportunities to improve, in efficiency or performance, farms are often compared on the basis of standard typologies (i.e. categorisations). For example the EU "specialist-cerealsoilseeds- pulses" farm type, known in Britain as "ce…

Metrics and methods for characterizing dairy farm intensification using farm survey data Open
Evaluation of agricultural intensification requires comprehensive analysis of trends in farm performance across physical and socio-economic aspects, which may diverge across farm types. Typical reporting of economic indicators at sectorial…

Estimated differences in economic and environmental performance of forage‐based dairy herds across the <span>UK</span> Open
Differences in performance among the areas of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland can provide some insight into the resilience of UK milk supplies from forage‐based dairy herds. This study used a Markov Chain approach to model t…
