Agriculture, pesticides, food security and food safety (2006, background): “This does not automatically imply that agrochemicals are useless or totally harmful, but current problems call upon much better control of their registration and use (Harris, 2002).”
The meat of the global food crisis (2013, background): “…it more fertilizers, chemicals, freshwater consumption and diversions, and fuel, and in turn generate more GHG emissions and pollution loads while diminishing carbon sequestration capacity (Goodland 1997, White 2000, Gilland 2002, Leitzmann 2003, Pimentel and Pimentel 2003, York and Gossard 2004).”
Future protein supply (2011, background): “Environmental impacts of animal protein The inherently inefficient conversion of plant protein into animal protein makes meat responsible for a disproportionate share of environmental pressure (Brown, 1996; Gilland, 2002; Steinfeld et al., 2006; Raney et al., 2009).”
Assessing the impacts of current and future concentrations of surface ozone on crop yield with meta-analysis (2009, background): “…difficult to meet the food demand of the global population, which is projected to increase from current ca. 6 billion to ca. 8 billion in 2025 (USBC, 2001), against the increasing risks of climatic changes and diminishing resources of land and fresh water (Gilland, 2002; Gregory and Ingram, 2000).”
On the merits of plant-based proteins for global food security: Marrying macro and micro perspectives (2011, background): “environmental pressure (Gilland, 2002; Raney et al., 2009; Steinfeld et al., 2006).”
Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture (2007, background): “…1210 1201 1209 1202 1 7 Developing countries Agricultural land 2682 2801 2955 3119 3184 +19 502 Arable land 650 682 724 760 792 +22 142 Permanent crops 59 68 80 99 106 +81 48 Permanent pasture 1973 2051 2152 2260 2286 +16 313 increased (Gilland, 2002), though there are notable regional exceptions.”
Proteins from land plants – Potential resources for human nutrition and food security (2013, background): “As a consequence, meat production is responsible for a disproportionate share of food-related environmental pressure (de Boer & Aiking, 2011; Gilland, 2002).”
