Global warming and price volatility are increasing uncertainty for the future of agriculture.
Therefore, agricultural systems must be sustainable not only under average conditions, but …

The study of natural ecosystems and experiments using mixtures of plant species
demonstrates that both species and genetic diversity generally promote ecosystem …

During the last decade the context in which farmers must manage their farm has changed
rapidly, and often with little warning. Dramatic price swings for agricultural commodities …

It is estimated that more than 95% of organic production is based on crop varieties that were
bred for the conventional high-input sector. Recent studies have shown that such varieties …

Intercropping is both a well-established and yet novel agricultural practice, depending on
one's perspective. Such perspectives are principally governed by geographic location and …

There has been a remarkable scientific output on the topic of how climate change is likely to
affect plant diseases. This overview addresses the need for review of this burgeoning …

This paper reviews and discusses how studies on (i) on-farm diversity assessment,(ii)
access to diversity and information,(iii) extent of use of available materials and information …

Anthropogenic impacts increasingly drive ecological and evolutionary processes at many
spatio‐temporal scales, demanding greater capacity to predict and manage their …

The water, food, energy nexus has prompted sustainability concerns as interactions
between these interdependent human needs are degrading natural resources required for a …

In evolutionary plant breeding, crop populations with a high level of genetic diversity are
subjected to the forces of natural selection. In a cycle of sowing and re-sowing seed from the …
