Optimizing energy use efficiency and environmental performance in cotton and canola production using the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm by Mousa Mirmoradi, Mohammad Gholami Parashkoohi, Hamed Afshari, Ahmad Mohammadi

“…Total energy consumption per hectare is slightly higher for cotton (26,083.80 MJ) relative to canola (25,747.04 MJ), yet cotton yields greater output (2,900 kg vs. 2,300 kg), indicating superior yield efficiency. Energy use efficiency favors canola with a conversion rate of 2.23 compared to cotton's 1.31, as well as a significantly higher net energy gain (31,752.96 MJ ha–1 for canola versus 8,136.20 MJ ha–1 for cotton). …”

Population Shrinkage and Spatio-Temporal Changes in Cultivated Land Use Efficiency in China’s Agro-Pastoral Ecotone by Lu Chen, Ning Zhao, Zhixun Zhang, Yun Zhang, Wenjie Zuo, Youshuo Wang, Bin Wu, Monika Stanny, Yuheng Li, Guoming Du

“…The following factors were determined, presented in descending order of the absolute value of influence degree: proportion of the population over 65 years old > multiple cropping index > proportion of cultivated land area > proportion of rural population > average years of education > population change rate. Based on these results, this paper puts forward measures to improve cultivated land use efficiency in the agro-pastoral ecotone in northern China from the perspective of population shrinkage, so as to provide references for ensuring national food security and promoting rural revitalization.…”
