From the Industrial Revolution, at end of 19th century and beginning 20th century, there was a significant impact on environment due to increased emission environmental pollutants. This problem has seen considerable growth in recent years population growth, resulting further ecosystem changes human action. Furthermore, demands for water, electricity, food have led increasingly large concentrations waste being emitted. In this context, bioremediation is an up-and-coming biotechnological alternative combat growing pollutants into environment. perspective, basidiomycetes, popularly known as mushrooms, are effective tool remediating These fungi use different mechanisms processes, such biodegradation, biosorption, bioaccumulation, bioconversion. Currently, remediation potential mushrooms been studied. Therefore, bibliographic review aims analyze literature pollutant remediation. At analysis, it concluded that macrofungi very promising suppressing

This research explores the close links between social capital and food security in rural communities of North Luwu Regency, Indonesia, focusing on valuable insights gained from agroforestry practices. Using a qualitative approach grounded theory, study examines how key indicators—social networks, trust, communal values, participation—significantly influence regional production. The findings show that strong which include relationships with neighbors, family, friends, farmer groups, positively impact cooperation, farm efficiency. Trust, often passed down through generations farming knowledge, remains an important factor, although its dynamics are shifting changing livelihoods increasing reliance agroforestry. Communal embodied practices, strengthen individual collective identities among farmers. Finally, participation agricultural activities essential understanding capital’s resilience communities, it is declining younger generation. highlights need for targeted interventions to fabric these by strengthening fostering preserving encouraging active participation. Ultimately, provides clear picture relationship security. It confirms solid interactions structures practices crucial shaping resilient sustainable meet their needs.

Agricultural crop protection (CP) today is under pressure not the least because it strongly relies on pesticides that negatively affect environment and human health. Policy attempts to induce a transition toward low-pesticide CP have had limited success so far. While literature has examined these difficulties primarily in terms of farmer decision-making, recent research begun highlight routine nature farmers’ practices as key aspect inertia prevailing practices. Here we propose framework bridges practice theory (PT) social-psychological concepts. We illustrate relevance this by gauging relative roles individual structural factors well mechanisms (de)stabilize pesticide-use Our analysis based data from survey conducted among Swiss farmers (n = 652). Using equation modeling, find are more associated with pesticide use than factors. Although personal norms limit activated values, self-efficacy, social norms, they do translate into behavior. Structural such local production conditions knowledge sourced private agricultural advisory services appear inhibit mediating role respect use. conclude reconfiguring elements may help disrupt routines eventually lead agriculture. findings also benefits integrating PT concepts advance our understanding CP.

Abstract Regenerative agriculture is promoted as a farming system that can improve agricultural sustainability, address soil degradation, and provide ecosystem service benefits. However, there remains limited evidence for the quantifiable benefits of widespread transition to regenerative on soil, biodiversity, crop quality, particularly at landscape scale, poor integration findings across disciplines. Social cultural aspects transition, such positioning grassroots movement, farmers’ perspectives defining practices, social or political barriers implementation, are harder quantify often overlooked in evidence-based approaches. Here, we present detailed methodology our interdisciplinary, co-designed landscape-scale experiment measuring changes health, yield, grain well dimensions implementation practices. Our unique approach, through co-production process, landscape-scale, focus systemic instead individual will bring strong sustained productivity, mitigation climate change biodiversity depletion agroecosystems. research aims guide future studies transforming theoretical ecology into testable hypotheses real-world systems actionable inform policies UK beyond.
