Citations in the corpus

• Enhancing eco-efficiency in agro-ecosystems through soil carbon sequestration. (2010, background): “2 billion people by 2050 (Evans, 2009) necessitates identifi cation, development, validation, and use of eco-effi cient agro-ecosystems.”
• The importance of plant health to food security (2010, background): “Such “knowledge intensive” approaches, as advocated by Evans (2009), will be needed in the 21st century as we struggle to increase productivity and improve food security for a growing population.”
• Safeguarding food security in volatile global markets. (2011, background): “4 percent of the world’s total freshwater accessible on the surface (Evans, 2009).”
• The interconnected challenges for food security from a food regimes perspective: Energy, climate and malconsumption (2013, unknown): “…there is an emerging critical geography of corpulence that rejects the discursive construction and scientific legitimation of the ‘obesity epidemic’ (Colls and Evans 2009, Guthman 2009), this does not detract from recognising the ways spatial injustice is reflected in access to food and health.”
• Induced Mutations Unleash the Potentials of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (2013, background): “The admixture of complementary solutions being adduced for feeding the world’s teeming population with fewer agricultural inputs and with minimal ecological footprints constitute the “greener”, ecosystem-based and knowledge-intensive paradigm that is commonly referred to as sustainable crop producti”
• Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Environmental Change Biocultural Refugia: Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production (2013, background): “Of all remaining terrestrial species, an estimated 43% are connected to landscapes presently or recently producing food-feed-fiber-fuel (Ferrier et al. 2004, Chappell and LaValle 2009).”
• Household food security status in South Africa (2009, background): “Recent information from the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO, 2009) supported by independent sources (Heady & Fan, 2008) suggest that food prices will increase steadily over the next decade even if there are some fluctuations and the occasional drop in prices (Evans, 2009).”
• Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People (2010, background): “3% of the observed 1% rise in global wheat production (4), although this benefit is likely to diminish, because rising temperatures will increase photorespiration and nighttime respiration.”
