Biodiversity in an agroecological landscape: Harnessing ecosystem services for agriculture
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176762
Abstract
Modern agricultural practices have significantly harmed the environment, with biodiversity loss being a major consequence of intensified farming. Biodiversity in farmlands is essential for ecosystem services like pollination, which supports crop yield and quality. Approximately 35% of global crops rely on animal pollination to some degree, with cross-pollination further enhancing fruit size, flavor,…

Household vegetable agro-biodiversity in northern Vietnam requires diversity in seed sources
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176785
Abstract
CONTEXT: Despite increasing interest in agro-biodiversity, there is little research on the role of diversity in seed sources and related seed systems in supporting vegetable diversity.
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze drivers of vegetable diversity and of farmers' choice of seed sources. Moreover, we explored how vegetable diversity and the use of seed sources were related. We focused on…
