Recuperación hídrica parcial y riesgos residuales en la campaña agrícola 2025/26 de la región pampeana
Evaluar el grado de recuperación de las condiciones hídricas y las proyecciones de producción de soja y maíz para la campaña 2025/26 en el centro argentino, identificando riesgos de déficit residual.
Diagnóstico de eficiencia hídrica y sequía en la agricultura pampeana 2024-2026
Cuantificar el impacto reciente de la sequía y la eficiencia de uso del agua en los principales cultivos de la región pampeana, e identificar oportunidades de mejora tecnológica y de gestión.
La campaña 2026/27 en la Argentina: hacia 160 millones de toneladas de granos y un ciclo exportador récord
Evaluar las proyecciones de producción granaria argentina para la campaña 2026/27, su contribución al ciclo exportador agroindustrial y los factores que condicionan que el récord físico se traduzca en ingresos y valor agregado local.
Soil Carbon Sequestration Saturates in 10-40 Years. The "4 Per 1000" Pledge Prices Credits as if It Never Does.
Evaluate whether the '4 per 1000' soil organic carbon (SOC) initiative's annual sequestration target is achievable as a sustained, globally uniform rate, and assess whether voluntary regenerative-agriculture carbon-credit protocols are pricing credits against a decay curve the feasibility literature has already falsified.
Brecha de Rendimiento del Arroz en Venezuela: 3.3 t/ha Reales frente a 7.5 t/ha Potenciales y la Via de Recuperacion Agricola
Cuantificar la brecha de rendimiento del arroz irrigado en Venezuela — 55% por debajo del potencial biofisico — e identificar los factores de gestion que la causan, con simulaciones que muestran recuperaciones de 510 a 1,200 kg/ha.
Inseguridad Alimentaria en Venezuela: Causas de la Crisis y Estrategias para la Soberania Agroalimentaria
Analizar las causas estructurales de la crisis alimentaria venezolana, cuantificar su impacto nutricional en la poblacion, y proponer estrategias de recuperacion de la soberania agroalimentaria basadas en evidencia y experiencias comparadas de America Latina.
The quality of meta-analyses in agricultural sustainability has been increasing, but weaknesses persist
Assess the methodological quality and reporting practices of published meta-analyses in agricultural sustainability and identify evidence-synthesis weaknesses that affect policy use.
Crop yields are not greater outside centers of origin
Test whether domesticated crops systematically produce higher yields when grown outside their geographic centers of origin, a claim relevant to crop relocation and food-security planning.
Inseguridad Alimentaria en Venezuela: 82% en Pobreza y el Colapso de la Soberania Agroalimentaria
Analizar la crisis de seguridad alimentaria en Venezuela, donde 82% de la poblacion vive en pobreza, 60% sufre inseguridad alimentaria, y la produccion agricola nacional colapo 70%, y proponer estrategias de recuperacion de la soberania agroalimentaria.
Managing for climate and production goals on crop-lands
Test whether cropland natural climate solutions can simultaneously deliver greenhouse-gas mitigation and maintain or improve crop production.
Climate-crop models to support opportunity mapping for sustainable intensification in Africa
Identify where climate-crop modelling can guide sustainable intensification opportunities across the African food basket under present and future climate conditions.
Impacts of climate change on global agriculture accounting for adaptation
Estimate how observed producer adaptation changes the global effects of climate change on staple-crop production and food security.
Climate-crop models to support opportunity crop adaptation in Africa
To develop and validate climate-crop model applications for 19 underrepresented African opportunity crops, alongside five reference crops, to support climate-resilient agricultural investment. Authors: Meijian Yang, Jose Rafael Guarin, Bright S. Freduah et al., Nature Communications (2025).
A Food System Transformation Pathway Reconciles 1.5°C Warming With Improved Health, Environment and Social Inclusion
To quantify how packages of food-system measures can jointly improve health, environmental conditions, social inclusion and economic outcomes while keeping global warming aligned with the 1.5°C target.
Sustainable Food Systems Transformation: Evidence from Global Agriculture Research 2024-2026
Synthesize peer-reviewed research on sustainable agriculture transitions, regenerative farming practices, food security in the context of climate change, and the economic viability of agroecological systems at scale.
Organic Farming Systems Sequester More Soil Carbon While Maintaining Crop Yields: Evidence from Comparative Farming Practice Studies
Quantify the effect of organic farming practices on soil carbon sequestration rates and crop yields compared to conventional farming, drawing on comparative field studies.

To evaluate the evidence on sustainable agricultural mechanization pathways for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, identifying which mechanization models are scalable, equitable, and climate-resilient
Beattie, Edlund, Gilbert et al.: Soil Microbiome Interventions for Carbon Sequestration (mSystems, 2024)
To present a comprehensive framework from 14 international soil microbiologists (led by Dr. Gwyn A Beattie at Iowa State University and Dr. Janet K Jansson at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) on engineering soil microbiome interventions to accelerate carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural and degraded soils.
Dr. Carolina Córdova et al.: 25-Year Soil Carbon Study—Cover Crops Outperform No-Till and Conventional
To document a 25-year longitudinal study from the Kellogg Biological Station Long-Term Ecological Research (KBS LTER) site in Michigan examining soil carbon accumulation under different agricultural management practices, led by Dr. Carolina Córdova (now University of Nebraska-Lincoln) and published in Geoderma (2025).
