Beekeeping in Asia: queen rearing (Apis Mellifera)
Good laying queens are important to productive beekeeping. Although queens may be able to live for several years, it is to the beekeepers' advantage that their colonies possess good young queens. To ensure that they will have an ample supply of queens, many of them rear their own. The following...

Pollinator Deficits, Food Consumption, and Consequences for Human Health: A Modeling Study
Animal pollination supports agricultural production for many healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, that provide key nutrients and protect against noncommunicable disease. Today, most crops receive suboptimal pollination because of limited abundance and diversity of pollinating insects. Animal pollinators are currently suffering owing to a host of...

Biological soil quality and soil organic carbon change in biodynamic, organic, and conventional farming systems after 42 years
Soils are the basis of life on land and the ways in which we manage them for crop production, impact their role, functions and quality. Conventional farming uses industrial inputs to a level that is economically justified, whilst organic farming systems avoid mineral fertilizers and synthetic chemical pesticides. This study...

European roadmap for reducing contentious inputs used in livestock production (antibiotics, anthelmintics, vitamins)
Organic livestock are primarily supplied by organically produced feed and ruminants are mainly fed forages. Organic production promotes high animal welfare standards, in particular by meeting the species-specific behavioural needs of animals. All these aspects contribute to a preventive approach that limits the use of external inputs in livestock production,...

European roadmap for phasing-in new nutrient sources
In organic farming, plants should primarily be fed through the soil ecosystem, therefore fertilisation focuses on feeding the soil life. Organic farmers rely on biological nitrogen fixation by legumes, complemented by recycling, regeneration and/or addition of organic materials and nutrients. Among the external inputs used for organic plant nutrition, manures...

European roadmap for reducing contentious plant protection products (copper, mineral oil)
Natural substances are an important component of organic plant protection strategies, mainly in perennial crops. Only a small number of products and substances are authorised for plant protection in organic production. Organic farming constantly evolves, and new inputs are proposed to replace contentious inputs traditionally used or to tackle yet...
