Economic and agronomic impact of commercialized GM crops: a meta-analysis (2012, background): “Poor management of inputs, such as pesticides, and lack of knowledge about handling them may cause health problems as well as a lack of efficient control of pests in developing countries (Ecobichon 2001; Pretty et al. 2003; Jørs et al. 2006).”
Economics of land degradation in Eastern Africa (2014, background): “This may also serve as an indirect means to reducing poverty by improving agricultural productivity (Barrett et al., 2001; Pretty et al., 2003).”
Sex Pheromones and Their Impact on Pest Management (2010, background): “This is particularly relevant in developing countries, where agricultural production must be increased to feed the population (Thrupp 2000; Pretty et al. 2003; Nwilene et al. 2008).”
A review on the contribution of crop diversification to Sustainable Development Goal 1 “No poverty” in different world regions (2019, background): “Pretty, Morison, and Hine (2003) found out that 89 out of 208 agricultural diversification projects, such as home garden intensification with vegetables or tree crops, inclusion of vegetables on rice bunds, introduction of fish ponds in paddy fields, or dairy cows and trees on farms, implemented in…”
The crop yield gap between organic and conventional agriculture (2012, background): “Of our data, about 85% were new data, i.e. not yet analyzed by either Badgley et al. or Goulding et al. The majority of the developing countries data in Badgley et al. either concerned rice data from the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) production systems or data from Pretty et al. (2003).”
Farm costs and food miles: an assessment of the full cost of the UK weekly food basket (2005, methodology): “There are many perspectives on what constitutes sustainability and how it can be applied equally across agricultural contexts (Naess, 1992; Dobson, 1999; Pretty et al., 2003a).”
Natural land cover drives pollinator abundance and richness, leading to reductions in pollen limitation in cotton agroecosystems (2016, background): “…biodiversity to enhance ecosystem services and aid in biodiversity conservation (Estrada and Coates-Estrada, 2002; Daily et al., 2003; Mayfield and Daily, 2005; Kleijn et al., 2015; Winfree et al., 2015), while also contributing to increased crop production and rural income (Pretty et al., 2003).”
