Toward zero-deforestation value chains: Environmental upgrading and downgrading among non-certified cocoa producers in Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132146
Abstract
Global pressure to make value chains less damaging to the natural environment, a process known as environment upgrading, has been building in recent years. Most studies that assess environmental upgrading have focused on the compliance of suppliers, which would be farmers in the case of value chains involving agrifood commodities, to sustainability certification…

Impact of sustainable soil management practices on soil microbial biomass carbon: Implications for climate change mitigation
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132145
Abstract
Although soil microbial biomass (MBC) comprises less than 5% of soil organic matter, it responds rapidly to changes in soil management practices and, therefore, is generally used as early indicators of changes in soil carbon. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of tillage practices (conventional tillage and no-tillage) and fertiliser types (…

Food system drivers of deforestation: Analyzing deforestation as an outcome of the food system
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132155
Abstract
According to the latest Global Forest Resources Assessment, approximately 90% of global deforestation between 2000 and 2018 was attributable to agricultural expansion, positioning land use for food production as the greatest direct driver of deforestation. Studies investigating direct and underlying drivers of deforestation have generally employed a land systems approach, focusing on how…
