Future heatwave exposure of the European cattle sector
Abstract Among the many climate change impacts on the European cattle sector, heatwaves lead to some of the most profound impacts on the sector. It is therefore of utmost importance to estimate to what extent the European cattle sector can be exposed to heatwaves in the near future. Using outcomes…

Biostimulatory effects of Limnospira indica on the modulation of rhizosphere and endosphere microbiota and its impact on plant growth
Abstract Cyanobacteria-derived biostimulants can improve plant performance through microbiota modulation. We tested culture fractions of Limnospira indica on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), focusing on growth and root-associated communities. Nitrogen deprivation in L. indica cultures increased…

Reviewing the evidence on precision agriculture and environmental sustainability
Abstract Precision agriculture (PA) is widely presented as a solution to the contemporary problem of feeding the world while conserving natural resources and limiting environmental harms. In this review paper, we summarize the field trial evidence demonstrating that PA use leads to environmental…

Diagnosing spatial decoupling of manure and crop nutrients in China: drivers and multi-objective optimization for sustainable redistribution
Abstract China’s uneven farming distribution creates significant mismatches between manure nutrients and crop demands, causing pollution in surplus areas and deficits in agricultural heartlands. This study diagnosed the distribution and drivers of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrient…

Narrowing farmland biodiversity knowledge gaps with Digital Agriculture
Abstract Digital Agriculture – broadly defined as the use of digital technologies and data to manage and optimize agricultural production systems – holds significant but largely untapped potential for biodiversity monitoring. Both fields share many (semi-)automated data collection technologies…

Optimizing fertilizer use for sustainable crops with Agrivoltaics in Mediterranean climates
Abstract Agrivoltaics (AV), a fast-growing technology integrating photovoltaic panels with agriculture, can offer the dual benefit of clean energy and crop yield gains, especially in the Mediterranean basin. However, its interaction with fertilizers -key for crops productivity but major…

Monitoring winter crop areas during wartime: remote sensing support for Ukraine’s agricultural statistics
Abstract Timely and transparent agricultural statistics are essential for safeguarding global food security. When the war in Ukraine disrupted agricultural reporting - particularly in Russian-held territories - complementary and/or alternative approaches were needed to produce reliable statistics…

Systems-oriented Innovation towards Sustainable Smallholder Mixed Farming
Abstract Existing innovation approaches in smallholder mixed farming systems (MFS) often fall short by overlooking system complexity and local contexts. This Perspective calls for more responsible and effective co-design of MFS innovations. We outline distinct (socio-)technical innovation pathways…

Revisiting the remediation of arsenic-contaminated agricultural soil: a review of real-world testing
Abstract Agricultural soil affected by metal(loid) contaminants not only endangers food safety but also causes environmental pollution and soil health degradation. Unlike degradable organic pollutants, metal(loid)s, including arsenic (As), are non-degradable and only shift between environments. The…

Culture: the missing link in sustainable food systems
This paper explores the sustainability potential of food and farming culture, which is largely overlooked by mainstream approaches for transitioning food systems. I present two cases where food and farming culture is alive and thriving—in the Maya-Achí territory of Guatemala and in…

Impacts of temporal-spatial compound extreme heat and drought on oil crops in China
Abstract Dietary diversification increased edible vegetable oil (EVO) demand. Climate change intensifies temporal-spatial compound extreme heat and drought (terms to above extremes co-occurring spatially and temporally), risking nationwide oil crops production and EVO supply, but were rarely…

On-farm agrivoltaic impacts on main crop yield: the roles of shade avoidance, cultivation practices, and varieties
Abstract Agrivoltaic systems, which integrate agricultural production with photovoltaic energy generation, have garnered attention for their dual-use potential. However, few studies have addressed yield variability of major staple crops, and their morphological and physiological traits in…

Linking species and functional crop diversity in South Asia: a spatial assessment of agrobiodiversity for nutrition-sensitive agriculture
Abstract Agrobiodiversity underpins sustainable, nutrition-sensitive food systems, yet its taxonomic and functional dimensions remain poorly integrated in spatial planning. We introduce two composite indicators—the Agrobiodiversity Index Score (ABDIS) and the Agrobiodiversity Potential Score…

Private-sector engagement in greenhouse gas mitigation in Africa’s ruminant livestock value chains: a perspective based on illustrative examples
Abstract This study presents a perspective on how partnerships engaging private-sector actors could support greenhouse gas mitigation in African ruminant livestock value chains. Through using value chain governance theory and illustrative examples, we highlight potential contributions of these…

Narratives, trade-offs and scenarios to explore the livestock transition in Belgium
Abstract The need for a livestock transition is widely acknowledged, entailing both production- and consumption-side adaptations. Yet the direction of this transition remains uncertain as a diversity of narratives and visions coexist. In this paper, we test the outcomes of dominant narratives and…

Nitrogen budgets in US soybean-based agroecosystems
Abstract Achieving neutral nitrogen (N) budgets is critical for soil health and sustainable agriculture. Thus, 31 studies were conducted for soybeans (Glycine max L.) throughout the United States, determining N inputs, biological N2 fixation via δ 15 N natural abundance method, and N outputs, seed…

Impacts of climate adaptation on food production and environmental sustainability across metacoupling systems
Abstract Climate adaptation behaviors can mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on food production and ecological security, yet the complex climate–environment interaction mechanisms remain unclear. We develop a Climate Adaptation–Environmental Multi-factor Feedback Framework integrating…

Projecting global soil moisture droughts under climate change: characteristics, agricultural exposure, and adaptation insights
Abstract The intensification of global warming has increased the severity, frequency, and duration of extreme drought events, posing significant threats to agricultural stability. This study introduces a framework for assessing global agricultural drought impacts under climate change by integrating…

Functional Trait Capacity: from observing biodiversity to predicting landscape capacity
Abstract Current biodiversity metrics describe what is present, but struggle with what landscapes could sustain under alternative management. We define Functional Trait Capacity (FTC) as the biologically admissible strategies remaining viable under specified landscape, management and time-horizon…
