Local-field agrobiodiversity had a negative effect on pollination potential, while local-field agrobiodiversity, pollination and pest control potentials had a positive influence on cereal production . These effects were significant except for the effect of pest control potential, which was marginally significant . As a result, farming intensity had both a positive direct effect on cereal…

The smaller key actors, including BPM, also noted the problem of uncertainty, but this wasn’t the main issue for them; unfair value chains was the important problem to them within the distributive frame. Mapping key actor narratives to the just transition frames highlights the mismatch in how beef farmers and key actors assess the current…

Nature-inclusive farming is part of the Vision for the future of agriculture in The Netherlands published by the Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality: “Agriculture, nature and food: valuable and connected” . So far it is mainly envisioned as a pathway for transition; it is not sharply defined but rather used as a boundary…

As a result, each single pixel value of the calculated LAI, NDVI, GNDVI, EVI, RVI, TGI, CVI and NGRDI layers and the original 10 m resolution Sentinel-2 bands were associated to one GY value. This processing protocol was carried out at each phenological stage. An overview of few indices calculated is shown in Fig. 3.…

Functional ecological analysis conducted at Kuruçay H¨ oyük, inland western Anatolia, also indicates that cereals were cultivated under moderate intensity . This is plausibly linked to differences in settlement size and the agricultural landscapes surrounding these sites compared to those in our study, which we discuss further below . The intensive manuring of Spanish vetchling…

The addition of farmed bivalves increases habitat complexity, potentially enhancing species diversity. Additionally, biodeposits generated by farmed bivalves may increase the organic load, attracting concomitant detritivores . The physical modification of the habitat and the alteration of fluxes of organic matter towards the bottom make bivalves ecosystem engineers . Although responses of trait-based functional diversity in…

Patterns of reverse correlation are no exception and are also observed in other countries, such as Germany . This may both be due to purely economic reasoning and psychological factors related to the different attitudes of farmers, which limit the choices available to them in terms of how to manage their farms . Particularly noteworthy areas…

The latter has a distinct tacit dimension. This is informal knowledge that has not been documented or made explicit by those who possess and use it and it has a certain degree of uniqueness. In the literature, knowledge bases have often been portrayed in their ‘pure’ forms, and it has been argued that industries tend…

To get informed about the expected income in the new market, the farmer has the chance to collect the technical- and management efficiency factors of one farmer whom already produces for that market every time-step. In the model this looks as follows: every month, all farmers interact with one random farmer in their network , all farmers…

The interviews were conducted based on a semi-structured questionnaire comprising questions in three categories: i) use case definition, including the problem context, core idea, objective, development status, etc.; ii) use case mapping, including main business processes targeted, objects addressed, main actors using the envisaged system; and iii) use case information architecture, including the main functionalities/services…
