Intensify production, transform biomass to energy and novel goods and protect soils in Europe—A vision how to mobilize marginal lands
Abstract The rapid increase of the world population constantly demands more food production from agricultural soils. This causes conflicts, since at the same time strong interest arises on novel bio-based products from agriculture, and new...

Compositional and physicochemical factors governing the viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG embedded in starch-protein based edible films
Abstract Probiotic incorporation in edible films and coatings has been shown recently to be an efficient strategy for the delivery of probiotics in foods. In the present work, the impact of the compositional, physicochemical and structural...

Food choices, health and environment: Effects of cutting Europe's meat and dairy intake
Abstract Western diets are characterised by a high intake of meat, dairy products and eggs, causing an intake of saturated fat and red meat in quantities that exceed dietary recommendations. The associated livestock production requires large areas...

Assessing explanatory factors for variation in on-farm irrigation in US maize-soybean systems
Abstract Irrigation exhibits large variation across producer fields, even within same region and year. A knowledge gap exists relative to factors that explain this variation, in part due to lack of availability of high-quality irrigation data from...

Drought and the future of rural communities: Opportunities and challenges for climate change adaptation in regional Victoria, Australia
Abstract Australia's vulnerability to climate variability and change has been highlighted by the recent drought (i.e. the Big Dry or Millennium Drought), and also recent flooding across much of eastern Australia during 2011 and 2012. There is also...

Optimising the use of nearshore fish aggregating devices for food security in the Pacific Islands
Abstract It is widely recognised that anchored, nearshore fish aggregating devices (FADs) are one of the few practical ‘vehicles’ for increasing access to tuna to help feed the rapidly growing rural and urban populations in many Pacific Island...

Molecular characterization of rotavirus strains from pre- and post-vaccination periods in a country with low vaccination coverage: The case of Slovenia
Abstract Rotavirus vaccination started in Slovenia in 2007 on a voluntarily basis. The vaccination rate is relatively low (up to 27%) and no increasing trend is observed. We present rotavirus genotype distribution among children hospitalized for...

Nitrogen fertilization reduces yield declines following no-till adoption
Abstract Conservation agriculture (CA) has been promoted as a method of sustainable intensification and climate change mitigation and is being widely practiced and implemented globally. However, no-till (NT), a fundamental component of CA, has been...

Data for rapid ethanol production at elevated temperatures by engineered thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus via the NADP(H)-preferring xylose reductase–xylitol dehydrogenase pathway
Abstract A thermo-tolerant NADP(H)-preferring xylose pathway was constructed in Kluyveromyces marxianus for ethanol production with xylose at elevated temperatures (Zhang et al., 2015 [25]). Ethanol production yield and efficiency was enhanced by...

The socio-economic context for improving food security through land based aquaculture in Solomon Islands: A peri-urban case study
Abstract Future fish demand-supply scenarios project that investment in aquaculture will be needed to ensure fish for food security in Solomon Islands. In 2010 a study of two peri-urban areas of Solomon Islands analysed the demand and potential for...
