Agriculture is multi-functional, producing economic goods including food, feed, fibre, and fuel, as well as providing several intangible or non-tradable services to society free of cost. Non-tradable...
Camelina (C. sativa L. Crantz) is a promising biofuel crop with high potential for cultivation on marginal soils. In this work, seed yields have been modelled to assess...
Cropping systems and crop combinations are among vital practices to improve land utilisation with the limited arable land resource. Combinations of maize with legumes are common...
the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Commission (EC), the World Food Programme (WFP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and GEOGLAM are co-organising the EO for Agriculture...

The concept of crop yield is generally used to represent the average amount of produce obtained per unit of the crop area. In case of tree crops, the concept of yield covers the average...
Cereal-legume intercropping has been traditionally practiced across West Africa by farmers and provides resilience of agriculture to climate variability. Intensification of these extensive intercropping systems...
Purpose The first purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of climate-caused cereal productivity changes on food security, welfare and GDP in South Asian countries. The second purpose is to assess...
Highlights: Cassava and cattle-meat (beef) yields are declining significantly, while rice yields are on the increase in Nigeria. Dwindling cassava yields are expected to significantly...
Highlights: CSA is positively associated with land productivity. CSA is also positively associated with food security. The bundled use of CSA practices offers greater land productivity...
