Internationalisation projects in the Maghreb conducted by the Dida Area Design by Saverio Mecca, Giuseppe Lotti, Debora Giorgi, Eleonora Trivellin

“…Its very multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary nature, its attempt to interpret the complexity and challenges of contemporary life, requires dealing with ethical issues and continually elaborating new tools which enable the strength deriving from its flexibility and ability to take cross fertilisations on board to be exploited to the full. The Mediterranean can, in particular, be an extremely interesting scenario for experimenting with new educational trajectories which can contribute to reconnecting and recreating that inter-personal and exchange nature which has always been its key characteristic, by means of cultural diversity promotion.…”

Strategic selection of polliniser trees can improve fruit quality of lychee, a crop that exhibits mixed-mating by Stephen J. Trueman, Joel Nichols, Christopher J. Burwell, Wiebke Kämper

“…Kwai Mai Pink trees produced more selfed fruit, with at least 75 % being self-fertilised and 19 % being cross-fertilised. Cross-pollination of Kaimana by Souey Tung or Fay Zee Siu increased fruit flesh mass by 27 % and 26 % compared with self-pollinated fruit, respectively, and whole-fruit mass by 20 % and 21 %, respectively. …”

Nitrogen Efficiency in Agriculture in Europe and India by Klaas W. Van der Hoek

“…The EU15 and India were chosen for this study on nitrogen efficiency using balance sheets because they each occupy roughly 300 million ha of land and use about 65 kg nitrogen fertiliser per hectare of agricultural land. Balance sheets were constructed for three systems: animal production, crop production, and the agricultural sector as a whole. …”

The Solid Phase Distribution and Bioaccessibility of Arsenic, Chromium, and Nickel in Natural Ironstone Soils in the UK by Joanna Wragg, Mark Cave, Sean Gregory

“…Land use does not show such a large effect but the allotment bioaccessibility data show a bigger spread and possibly higher values for As and Cr which may be due to agronomic (cultivation) practices such as addition of fertilisers and organic matter.…”

A Dynamic Evaluation of the Use of Natural Resources in Crop Rotation in Family Farming Production Units by Dayhanna Stephania Vargas, Juan Carlos Osorio, Juan José Bravo

“…A relevant factor for the analysis of the production of agricultural goods is the size of the productive unit since about 84% is less than 2 ha in size and distributed over 12% of arable land; however, it is important to highlight other factors, such as the availability of family labour, crop diversification and the development of other agricultural activities that have a lower use of insecticides, pesticides, and chemical fertilisers compared to industrial crops. Therefore, food is produced, providing social and ecological benefits. …”
