Integrative Agiculture 2019, 18 (9): 1-1950
Abstract:
Large-scale crop monocultures facilitate the proliferation and increasing prevalence of diseases
and pest insects. Many studies highlight the impacts of plant diversification upon pathogens, and
the population dynamics of insects and beneficial organism in agricultural ecosystems. These
studies provide evidence that habitat manipulation techniques such as intercropping, relay, and
rotation can significantly improve disease and pest management. This review introduces the
concept of crop diversity, considers recent insights and mechanisms underlying crop diversity,
and discusses its potential for improving sustainable agricultural practices. Recently, the
phytobiomes resulting from increased crop diversity are increasingly recognized for their
contribution to disease and pest control. Further, understanding the interactions between
pathogens or pests with their host phytobiome may lead to novel options for the prevention of
pests. Recent advances in the agricultural systems include: (i) a better understanding of the
mechanisms of interactions between crop species and genotypes; (ii) ecological progress
including a better understanding of the context-dependency of those interactions; and (iii) the role
of microtopographic variation in agricultural systems for priming basal resistance to multiple pests
and pathogens by intercropped crops. We also highlight recent progress in China and the
potential options for habitat management and design that enhance the ecological role of
biodiversity in agroecosystems.

ABSTRACT
This paper argues that input-intensity and a lack of democratic control over the conditions for
advanced technology adoption indicates that low-tech approaches, despite generating lower
yields, may be best positioned to improve food security as a basis for sustainable agriculture.
Advanced technology adoption by smallholders can become a choice, dependent on the
containment of ecological risks, rather than a survivalist strategy. We examine research led by
the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and make clear that public sector
research and the international organizations can significantly contribute to the adoption of
evidence based policies that support context-specific combinations of low- and high-tech
approaches.

Integrated farm management for sustainable agriculture: Lessons for knowledge exchange and
policy. 2019. Land Use Policy, Volume 81, Pages 834-842, ISSN 0264-8377
Abstract:
As a response to the environmentally and socially destructive practices of post-war mechanization
and intensification, the concept of sustainable agriculture has become prominent in research,
policy, and practice. Sustainable agriculture aims to balance the economic, environmental, and
social aspects of farming, creating a resilient farming system in the long-term. Over the last few
decades, various concepts have been used in research and policy to encourage the adoption of
sustainable practices. Within such a congested space, this paper assesses the value of
‘integrated farm management’ as a concept for the promotion of sustainable agriculture. The
concept is the subject of renewed policy interest in England and Wales and it is also being
promoted in Europe. Previous research, however, has suggested that integrated farm
management may not be well understood or widely practised. There are also criticisms that it can
be impractical and poorly differentiated from similar ideas. As such, renewed insights are required
into how useful the concept might be for encouraging sustainable agriculture. Using a mixed
methods approach, we gathered the views of farmers, farm advisors, and industry representatives
about integrated farm management in England and Wales, and interpreted these through a
theoretical framework to judge the strength of the concept. Overall, the general principles of
Integrated Farm Management were found to be coherent and familiar to most of our respondents.
However, the concept performed poorly in terms of its resonance, simplicity of message,
differentiation from other similar terms and theoretical utility. We reflect on our findings in the
context of other ways to promote sustainable agriculture, drawing out messages for policy and
knowledge exchange in England and Wales, as well as elsewhere.

Title : AMF: The Future Prospect for Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract:
A wide range of association exists in nature of which symbiotic association is the most
evolutionary conserved where both the partners are mutually benefited. However, these
associations of the plants with microorganisms are both harmful as well as beneficial. Hence the
key to survival for plants is to promote beneficial symbiotic associations and prevent the intruding
pathogens. In this review, we focus on the beneficial role of mycorrhiza, a heterogeneous group
of fungi primarily associated with plant roots. Out of these associations, one group of root obligate
mycorrhiza provides the host plant with water nutrients and importantly protects from pathogens,
called Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF). This association helps in improving the nutrient supply
like nitrogen and phosphorus to the plants and in turn, the fungus gets 20% of the fixed carbon
from the plants. The nutrient transfer is established by the help of structures called arbuscules
and the release of ‘Myc factors’ by fungus and strigolactones by plant root exudates induces the
symbiotic reactions. A coordination of these two factors, in turn, switches on the downstream
signaling cascades that further strengthens the association. In the course of research over the
years several genes like novel transporters or receptor kinases have been identified that favors
the association and in turn helps in dissecting the cellular responses. In this review, we discuss
the current status of several studies, which unravel the contributions of partners involved in these
symbiotic associations and can be exploited for improvement of agricultural crops in diverse
environmental conditions.

Future Perspectives. Ecological Indicators, Volume 105, Pages 483-495, ISSN 1470-160X,
Abstract:
Recent decades have witnessed major growth in the use of agrochemicals worldwide, – for
maximizing the food production for a rapidly growing human population. However, the
indiscriminate use of these substances especially the pesticides has led to the accumulation of
toxic residues in food, soil, air, and water, as well as the development of resistance in pests.
Moreover, pesticides affect soil enzymes, which are essential catalysts that govern soil quality. In
order to meet the food security, it is necessary to produce more food, sustainably and safely, in a
diminishing area of available arable land and with decreased water resources. Given this
situation, there is an increased interest in the use of alternative substances to synthetic
agrochemicals that present less risk to the environment and human health while increasing the
food safety. Promising results have been obtained using compounds derived from aromatic plants
for the control of agricultural pests. Such compounds of botanical origin can be highly effective,
with multiple mechanisms of action, while at the same time having low toxicity towards non target
organisms. However, the large-scale application of these substances for pest control is limited by
their poor stability and other technological issues. In this backdrop, the present work discusses
perspectives for the use of compounds of botanical origin, as well as strategies employing the
encapsulation techniques that can contribute to the development of systems for use in sustainable
agricultural practices.

ISBN:9781118447697DOI:10.1002/9781118447697. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Summary:
Although the food industry is beginning to make headway with its sustainability initiatives,
substantially more progress is needed in order to feed the world’s growing population sustainably.
The challenge is that the topic of sustainability can seem overwhelming and there is limited
information that is specific to the food industry. Written by an experienced food industry
professional with years of experience in sustainability, The 10 Principles of Food Industry
Sustainability inspires and informs the progress required to nourish the population, revitalize
natural resources, enhance economic development, and close resource loops. The book makes
this complex topic approachable and actionable by identifying the most pressing sustainability
priorities across the entire food supply chain and showing, with tools and examples, how
producers, processors, packers, distributors, marketers and retailers all play a role in advancing
improvement. The book begins with an overview of the Principles of sustainability in the food
industry: what they are and why they matter. Subsequent chapters focus on each of the Ten
Principles in detail: how they relate to the food industry, their global relevance (including their
environmental, health, and social impacts), and the best practices to achieve the potential of
meaningful and positive progress that the Principles offer. Specific examples from industry are
presented in order to provide scalable solutions and bring the concepts to life, along with top
resources for further exploration. The Principles, practices, and potential of sustainability in the
food industry covered in this book are designed to be motivating and to offer a much-needed and
clear way forward towards a sustainable food supply

Summary:
This chapter begins by listing some properties that might characterize an ‘ideal, ’ or ‘truly
sustainable, ’ energy crop. Then, it provides detailed discussion of the three most prominent
individual feedstock crops for warm temperate zones: Arundo donax, Miscanthus spp., and
Panicum virgatum. It includes some background on their history, origins and adaptations, and
production and sustainability issues and attributes. Next, the chapter addresses harvest and
processing issues that have common characteristics across feedstocks to a great degree. Several
sustainability issues need addressing when considering herbaceous energy crop production.
Water, species diversity, land use, and climate impacts are among the many aspects of energy
cropping that need assessment as these systems are deployed. The chapter emphasizes on
several salient points about the traditional measures of ‘sustainability’ as they relate to the crops
and systems.
