Planetary boundaries for terrestrial inputs of reactive nitrogen (Nr) are transgressed and
reducing the input of new Nr and its environmental impacts are major global challenges …

Food security, lowering the risk of climate change and meeting the increasing demand for
energy will increasingly be critical challenges in the years to come. Producing sustainably is …

Food security is threatened by the combined pressures of increasing populations and
climate change. Agricultural land is vulnerable to overexploitation and environmental …

The current progress in agricultural production does not really cater to the demand of the
burgeoning human population. Consequently, this puts global food and nutritional security …

The application of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer has increased anthropogenic N 2 O
emission in global croplands. Due to the advantage of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), the …

Cropping system diversification through annual intercropping provides a pathway for
agricultural production with reduced inputs of fertilizer and pesticides. While several studies …

In recent years, the increased pressure of food and nutritional insecurity, land degradation,
climate change, continuous declining soil fertility, and low and stagnant crop productivity has …

This paper summarizes effects of forage-legume intercropping on grain and fodder yield,
land equivalent ratio, residual soil fertility, disease and insect pest reduction in mixed crop …

Enhancing crop diversity is an option to make agriculture more sustainable and biodiversity
friendly. Intercropping grain legumes together with cereals leads to higher crop diversity and …

Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) show exciting prospects as a sustainable source of protein and
fibre, with the potential to transition to a more sustainable food production. This study reveals …
