Soil particulate organic matter contribution of hairy vetch ecotypes as winter annual legume cover crops
(Master thesis, 2017-01-02)Efficient cover crop management provides numerous benefits to the agroecosystems including soil organic matter (SOM) contribution. In the cold climates of the upper Midwest, options of cover crop species that can withstand ... -
Starch and protein accumulation during seed development of field grown faba beans (Vicia faba L. cv. Vertigo) in Norway
(Master thesis, 2020)The grain legume Vicia faba L. (faba bean) is a potential commercial protein crop in Norway. Little information is available concerning seed development and accumulation of storage compounds in Vicia faba seeds grown in ... -
Support in defining specifications for the production of lamb on Alpine pasture in Isere (France)
(Master thesis, 2014-12-12)French mountain farming is mainly based on breeding systems and the use of semi-natural resources such as alpine pastures. Pastoralism provides many services that are not paid. It is therefore necessary to invent and ... -
Sustainable foraging of wild edible plants in Norway : a biocultural approach
(Master thesis, 2020)Globally, the role of wild edible plants (WEPs) in providing culturally appropriate nutrition and food security, added economic value, and ecological benefits, is now well recognized. In Europe, the use of WEPs appears ... -
Sustainable management and design of North American orchards supplying the hard cider industry
(Master thesis, 2018)The hard cider industry is quickly growing in North America. In this research I investigate how apple production in North America has adapted to meet the demands of the rapidly growing hard cider industry, and whether this ... -
Swiss agricultural policy and the goal of multifunctionality : what experiences can be drawn?
(Master thesis, 2017)After the Second World War, a productivist focus has led to agricultural policy stimulating intensification of agriculture, creating overproduction and environmental problems. As a reaction, ‘multifunctionality’ became an ... -
Taming nitrogen : recognizing N2O emissions in fertilization practice
(Master thesis, 2016-08-11)Atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas resulting from an imbalanced global nitrogen cycle. Although agricultural soils emit the majority of anthropogenic N2O, it is rarely considered in soil management practice. ... -
Technical and economic analysis of farming systems engaged in Agri-Environment-Climate measures for pesticide use reduction in Burgundy (France)
(Master thesis, 2019)The European Union has created agri-environmental measures so that some of the European farmers may commit to reducing their environmental impact in exchange for financial compensation. However, little is known about the ... -
Terroirs comparison in terms of biomass flows and nitrogen balance : study case of Diohine and Barry Sine in the former groundnut basin
(Master thesis, 2014-02-17)Physical, socio-political and economical changes impacted the former Senegalese groundnut basin what resulted in a strong natural resources use competition and therefore an agrarian transition that disconnects cropping and ... -
