Translating theory into practice: A flexible decision-making tool to support the design and implementation of climate-smart agriculture projects Agric. Syst. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2024-07-11 Conor Walsh, Mara Renn, Dominik Klauser, Alessandro de Pinto, Jeremy Haggar, Rouf Abdur, Richard J. Hopkins, Farhad Zamil
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a conceptual framework for responding climate-related risk in agriculture across the three pillars of Mitigation, Resilience, and Production. Existing tools have been developed which seek to operationalise the CSA concept to evaluate and benchmark progress; each of which have their own relative strengths and weaknesses. The translation of this concept into actionable

Refining a middle-range theory of inclusive innovation processes in agrifood systems in the Global South Agric. Syst. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2024-07-10 Elizabeth Hoffecker, Eunhae Lee
As interest grows in facilitating, funding, and investigating inclusive innovation processes in agrifood systems in the Global South, a need has emerged for middle-range theory that can describe the key features and causal dynamics of these processes across diverse contexts. This paper advances theory-building by testing and refining an existing middle-range theory of inclusive innovation processes

Integrating the land–water–climate nexus approach with spatial-based sustainable agriculture production Agric. Syst. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2024-07-09 Jutaporn Keson, Thapat Silalertruksa, Shabbir H. Gheewala
A policy on agricultural land zoning, based on land suitability maps, has been introduced to optimize the use of resources for crop production in Thailand. However, the impact of activities occurring during cultivation in different land suitability classes has not been considered. A land–water–climate nexus index (LWCNI) has therefore been introduced as a holistic analysis that integrates three indicators––land-use

Living labs in agrifood studies: An opportunity to revisit fundamental questions about participatory research? Agric. Syst. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2024-07-09 Ane Kirstine Aare, Stine Rosenlund Hansen
The use of the term ‘living lab’ is now widespread, and in agrifood studies has been incorporated into research funding requirements. However, the methodological skills and prerequisites for successful living labs are not particularly well articulated. Based on our experience (five national and EU research projects) and our research backgrounds in (interdisciplinary) social science and participatory

A substance flow analysis to assess the potential benefits of livestock based circularity for nutrient use efficiency and carbon return to soils in the agro-food-waste system of a tropical island Agric. Syst. (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2024-07-06 Manon Alvanitakis, Vivien Kleinpeter, Mathieu Vigne, Anthony Benoist, Jonathan Vayssières
Livestock is often considered as a potential hub of circularity but evidence of circularity benefits for the sustainability of agro-food-waste systems (AFWS) is lacking in the literature. This study assessed the consequences of livestock based circularity on nutrient and carbon management in the AFWS of an isolated tropical island. A substance flow analysis of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and carbon
