This paper estimates the availability of agricultural crop residue feedstocks in Canada for cellulosic ethanol production. Canada's major field crops generate 100.6million dry mega grams (Mg) of crops per year while non-forage crops produce 67 million dry Mg, leaving abundant agricultural...

The milpa is a traditional intercropping system of maize, bean, and squash. Milpas are repositories of agrobiodiversity in México, not only rich in inter- and infra-crop species diversity, but also in landraces of maize, which are building blocks for future improvements in this globally...

On the basis of empirical data concerning "four agricultural subsidies" in Chongqing City, we establish panel data model to analyze the general effect of "four agricultural subsidies" on grain yield, and the structural effect of "four agricultural subsidies" on grain yield. Based on the F-test...
