Environmental evaluation of transfer and treatment of excess pig slurry by life cycle assessment.

TL;DR: The overall environmental performance of transfer is better than that of treatment, as it involves less acidification, eutrophication and non-renewable energy use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fields on fire: Alternatives to crop residue burning in India

TL;DR: The case of crop residue management in northwestern India does not appear to fit this pattern and provides lessons that may be useful elsewhere, and synthesize emerging evidence on alternatives to burning, clarify the business case for alternative practices, identify remaining uncertainties, and discuss approaches to increase their widespread adoption.
Journal ArticleDOI

On farm assessment of rice yield variability and productivity gaps between organic and conventional cropping systems under Mediterranean climate

TL;DR: In this paper, the main factors affecting yield variability and the farmer management strategies used to sustain crop productivity while reducing input use were identified and categorised using classification and regression trees to describe management strategies under conventional and organic systems and to identify and categorise the main variables associated with rice yield variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate smart agriculture, farm household typologies and food security: An ex-ante assessment from Eastern India

TL;DR: The results indicate that compared to livestock interventions, CA may hold considerable potential to boost HH PFA, though primarily for wealthier and medium-scale cereal farmers, while providing a robust methodology to vet the implications of agricultural interventions on an ex ante basis.
