We identify the agricultural inputs that drove the growth in global Background and regional crop yields from 1975 to the mid-2000s. : We compare Methods and contrast the inputs that drove yield change as identified by econometrically estimated yield functions and decision trees that use yield change as the class attribute. : We find that improvements in agricultural science and Results managem...

griculture has been recognized as an important sector in Indonesia. In addition to providing food and industrial raw materials, it contributes significantly the growth of gross domestic product (GDP), foreign exchange, employment, rural household income. One triggers for decline harvested area rice production Musi Rawas Regency is field due conversion fields non-rice fields. Conflicts over wate...

Increased agricultural production through both intensification and extensification is a major driver of the current biodiversity crisis. As response, two contrasting approaches have been advocated: ‘land sparing’, which minimizes demand for farmland by increasing yield, sharing’, boosts densities wild populations on but decreases yields. While these useful in drawing attention to impact meeting...

Climate and land use changes are key drivers of current biodiversity trends, but interactions between these drivers are poorly modeled, even though they could amplify or mitigate negative impacts of climate change. Here, we attempt to predict the impacts of different agricultural change scenarios on common breeding birds within farmland included in the potential future climatic suitable areas f...

The global land system is facing unprecedented pressures from growing human populations and climatic change. Understanding the effects these pressures may have is necessary to designing land management strategies that ensure food security, ecosystem service provision and successful climate mitigation and adaptation. However, the number of complex, interacting effects involved makes any complete...

Abstract Coconut played an important role in humans as estate commodity. Many efforts have been made to increase coconut production through intensification, extensification, and diversification but those not given maximum results yet, likewise, assembling superior varieties also carried out, produce such Tall coconut, Dwarf Hybrid this is able optimally. On the other hand, several factors can c...

Land abandonment in European mountains threatens habitats shaped for centuries by low-intensity agriculture and grazing. Hence, it is important to identify spatiotemporal patterns rural abandonment, relate them biophysical socioeconomic drivers. We pursued these goals the theoretical context of transitions from traditional productivist then post-productivist agriculture. conducted a case study ...

A number of methodological approaches to understanding and quantifying the potential impacts of changes in macroeconomic and sectoral policies on the natural resource environment have been developed in recent years. However each has its limitations, resulting in policy change still being implemented without due attention to environmental impacts. Two key drawbacks of those methodologies that do...

As the term 'sustainability' is more widely adopted, its meaning becomes more contested. It encompasses divergent accounts of the problem to be solved. These accounts can be analysed according to a three-part taxonomy: an 'environmental management' view serves to mediate (or adjudicate) between neoliberal and community views. Such a heuristic device can help illuminate controversies in particul...
