Sustainability of neglected and underutilised species (NUS): Towards an assessment matrix for crop species
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127034
Abstract
Neglected and underutilised species (NUS) are widely claimed to contribute to sustainability and sustainable development. Verifying such a claim implies the use of a scientifically sound assessment tool. In this context, the present article aims to suggest a matrix for the assessment of the environmental, economic and social sustainability of NUS. In particular, the paper provides a…

Neglected and underutilised species (NUS): an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127371
Abstract
Despite the growing attention to the neglected and underutilised species (NUS) as a valid instrument to promote not only sustainable agriculture and food systems but also sustainable development in rural areas, attempts to move from good intentions to effective actions have been limited. This is due, among others, to a gap in knowledge about the myriads of existing NUS and…

Can agriculture reach net zero emissions by 2050?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127968
Abstract
Significant GHG emissions reductions in agriculture are achievable through reducing emission intensity of production, but population growth and dietary changes may offset absolute emissions reductions. Emission reductions consistent with 2030 targets are achievable in many countries; attaining the 2050 targets will require innovation and systems transformation. Net zero agriculture cannot be achieved without sinks. Governance, economics…
