Food and Earth Systems: Priorities for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation for Agriculture and Food Systems
Ana Maria Loboguerrero,Bruce M. Campbell,Peter J.M. Cooper,James Hansen,Todd S. Rosenstock,Eva K. Wollenberg +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of climate change adaptation and mitigation options that can support increased production, production efficiency and greater food security for 9 billion people by 2050 are reviewed, highlighting the importance of identifying and exploiting those synergies in the context of Nationally Determined Contributions.
Drivers of sustainable intensification in Kenyan rural and peri-urban vegetable production
Barnabas K. Kurgat,Evans Ngenoh,Hillary K. Bett,Silke Stöber,Samuel Mwonga,Hermann Lotze-Campen,Todd S. Rosenstock +6 more
TL;DR: Sustainable intensification promotes environmentally sound and productive agriculture in many sub-Saharan African countries as discussed by the authors, however, use of sustainable intensification practices (SIPs) is low in many Sub-Sharan African countries.

Lenora Ditzler,Adam M. Komarek,Tsai Wei Chiang,Stéphanie Alvarez,Shantonu Abe Chatterjee,Carl J. Timler,Jessica E. Raneri,Natalia Estrada Carmona,Natalia Estrada Carmona,Gina Kennedy,Jeroen C.J. Groot +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed three new modules related to budget, labor, and human nutrition for the bio-economic whole-farm model "FarmDESIGN" to increase the scope for modeling flows of resources between the farm enterprise and the farm household, as well as beyond the farm gate.

Challenges and opportunities for enhancing food security and greenhouse gas mitigation in smallholder farming in sub-Saharan Africa. A review
Dong-Gill Kim,Elisa Grieco,Elisa Grieco,Antonio Bombelli,Antonio Bombelli,Jonathan E. Hickman,Alberto Sanz-Cobena +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify common smallholder farming practices for enhancing crop production, assess how these affect GHG emissions and identify strategies that not only enhance crop production but also mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in sub-Saharan Africa.

Global diets link environmental sustainability and human health
David Tilman,Michael Clark +1 more
TL;DR: Alternative diets that offer substantial health benefits could, if widely adopted, reduce global agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, reduce land clearing and resultant species extinctions, and help prevent such diet-related chronic non-communicable diseases.

Effect of Water-Filled Pore Space on Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous Oxide Production in Tilled and Nontilled Soils
D. M. Linn,J. W. Doran +1 more
TL;DR: The percentage of soil pore space filled with water (percent water-filled pores, % WFP) appears to be closely related to soil microbial activity under different tillage regimes as discussed by the authors.

Environmental, Energetic, and Economic Comparisons of Organic and Conventional Farming Systems
TL;DR: The benefits of organic technologies are higher soil organic matter and nitrogen, lower fossil energy inputs, yields similar to those of conventional systems, and conservation of soil moisture and water resources as discussed by the authors.

Global metaanalysis of the nonlinear response of soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions to fertilizer nitrogen
TL;DR: A first quantitative comparison of N2O emissions for all available studies that have used multiple N rates shows that a nonlinear emission factor better represents global emission patterns with lower uncertainty, offering more power for balancing the global N2 O budget and for designing effective mitigation strategies.
