Environmental sustainability of oil palm cultivation in Papua New Guinea
Publication Code:
TR075
Price:
$24.00
The oil palm industry in Papua New Guinea is small by international standards, but very important for the country, underpinning the economies of the provinces where it is mostly grown (West New Gritain, Oro, Milne Bay and New Ireland). An estimated 200,000 people live in households that depend on oil palm as their principal source of income. It is vital for the future livelihoods of these people, and for others living in surrounding areas, that the crop is grown in a way that maintains the ecological integrity of the land and surrounding ecosystems.

Measuring plant-associated nitrogen fixation in agricultural systems
Publication Code:
MN136
Price:
$38.00
Nitrogen is one of the key drivers of global agricultural production, with between 150 and 200 million tonnes required each year to produce the world’s food, animal feed and industrial products. Improving the efficiency with which Nitrogen is used in world agriculture is vital to the long-term sustainability of the planet, as gaseous losses contribute to global warming, and leaching and erosion losses to the degradation of watercourses and storages.
