| The concept of resilience is widely promoted as a promising notion to guide new approaches to ecosystem and resource management that try to enhance a system's capacity to cope with change. A variety of mechanisms of resilience specific for different systems have been proposed. In the context of resource management those include but are not limited to the diversity of response options and flexibility of the social system to adaptively respond to changes on an adequate scale. However, implementation of resilience-based management in specific real-world systems has often proven difficult because of a limited understanding of suitable interventions and their impact on the resilience of the coupled social-ecological system. We propose an agent-based modeling... |

| The agricultural engineer Luís Henrique Bassoi states that agriculture is not the villain of the water crisis, as it is sometimes considered, and presents data on irrigation and water management; Sustainable intensification is a viable alternative so that humankind can continue producing food and reaching record yield rates, preserving the environment and reducing the effects of its actions on the planet. Details can be seen in this special article; Elephant grass can be used as an input material for boilers, generates energy and confirms its potential as a raw material for cellulosic ethanol; Plants, animals and microorganisms can be used as biological factories for the production of high added-value molecules that positively impact treatments against... |
