Capturing farm diversity with hypothesisbased typologies: An innovative methodological framework for farming system typology development
(Plos ONE, 2018-05-15)
Creating typologies is a way to summarize the large heterogeneity of smallholder farming systems into a few farm types. Various methods exist, commonly using statistical analysis, to create these typologies. We demonstrate ...
Organic farming does not increase soil organic carbon compared to conventional farming if there is no carbon transfer from other agroecosystems: A meta-analysis
(Csiro Publishing, 2021-11)
Context: Organic farming is based on the non-use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. Nitrogen inputs are derived from symbiotic fixation and organic fertilisers, which also contribute carbon to the agroecosystem. Soil ...
Identification of beef production farms in the Pampas and Campos area that stand out in economic and environmental performance
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
Worldwide, native grasslands are being converted to non-native pastures and cropland. This process threatens local grassland biomes as well as the livelihoods of farm families that utilize these grasslands.
In the Río ...
The role of custom farming in agribusiness expansion in Argentina
(Routledge, 2021-04)
This article aims to examine the role of custom farming in the expansion of the agribusiness model in Argentina, and more specifically, of machinery contractors incorporated into productive ‘networks’ led by large-scale ...
Valorando los sistemas mixtos
(EEA Oliveros, INTA, 2020)
Las producciones ganaderas intensivas de leche y carne basan su alimentación sobre pasturas semi permanentes, complementadas en ciertas regiones con cultivos anuales.
The landscape complexity relevance to farming effect assessment on small mammal occupancy in Argentinian farmlands
(Springer, 2019-11-05)
The responses of organisms to organic farming depend on the taxonomic group and landscape complexity. Following the intermediate landscape complexity hypothesis, organic farming can compensate for the lack of complexity ...
The use of fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of farming practice effects in rodents: A species-specific response
(Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
The effects of agricultural intensification on vertebrate populations could vary depending on whether species are habitat specialists or habitat generalists. Organic farming practices are generally considered to be less ...
An induction-aware parameterization for wind farms in the WRF mesoscale model
(IOP Publishing, 2020-09)
With the aim of assessing the potential impacts of wind farms on weather and regional climate, in this work an induction-aware modified version of the Wind Farm Parameterization implemented in the WRF model is presented. ...
Renewable, Clean Energy: The Petroleum Footprint. Wind Farms Under Analysis
(InderScience, 2012-09)
This paper presents a methodology to assess projects for the generation of clean, renewable energy. Such methodology is applied here to estimate the consumption of fossil fuels (referred to as ?oil?), required for the ...
Into the wild: escaped farmed rainbow trout show a dispersal-associated diet shift towards natural prey
(Springer, 2019-10)
The feeding ecology of farmed fish escapees has seldom been assessed, although they are one of aquaculture’s main environmental impacts. Here we tested if the diet of Oncorhynchus mykiss rainbow trout escapees was affected ...
