Smallholder farmers, who mostly engage in low-value agriculture in the drylands of Northern Africa, were the first to have felt the effects of climate change, with threats to their livelihoods and food security. The increasing costs of agricultural production, poor water and energy...

Moscona & Sastry (2023, Quarterly Journal of Economics) - henceforth MS23 - find that cropland values are significantly less damaged by extreme heat exposure (EHE) when crops are more exposed to technological innovation. However, MS23's 'innovation exposure' variable does not measure innovation,...

Ackerbausysteme in Deutschland stehen vor großen Herausforderungen (z. B. Reduktionsziele für den Pflanzenschutzmitteleinsatz, Nährstoffüberschüsse oder Reduktion des Biodiversitätsverlusts) und müssen daher umfangreich weiterentwickelt werden, um künftig effizient und nachhaltig...

The quality of production is related to a series of physical and chemical characteristics of plants which gives a positive mark to the applied agrotechnical methods for the correlation of the latter to the production obtained on the surface unit. A more intense accumulation of the biomass which...
