- The top 100 questions of importance to the future of global agriculture (2010, background): “…instability was a result of a number of short-term pressures, but it highlighted a long-term problem of food security and its impact on human well-being (Royal Society, 2009), particularly for low-income households that spend anything up to 75 per cent of their income on food (Naylor et al., 2007).”
- Evidence-based policy or policy-based evidence gathering? Biofuels, the EU and the 10% target† (2010, background): “…and rising food prices in light of food price decreases caused by the current global economic crisis, the price of sugar continues to increase and by May 2009 was more expensive than at any point since the beginning of January 2008 (Naylor et al, 2007; Runge and Senauer, 2007; The Economist, 2009).”
- Exchange Rates, Soybean Supply Response, and Deforestation in South America (2012, background): “…interior, which, through infrastructure developments and the relocation of essential farming skills and capital, have only recently incorporated into global networks of food consumption and production (Lambin and Meyfroidt, 2011, Naylor et al., 2007, Naylor et al., 2005, Tilman et al., 2002).”
- Implications of Three Biofuel Crops for Beneficial Arthropods in Agricultural Landscapes (2010, background): “In particular, there is growing awareness of the potential ecological and societal ramifications of increased plantings of crop monocultures for fuel [24, 45].”
- Improvements in Life Cycle Energy Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Corn‐Ethanol (2009, background): “Land use productivity issues indicate that biofuel energy yield per unit area (e.g., NEY) is a critical metric to indicate the extent of competition among bioenergy, food crops, and native environments (Naylor et al. 2007; Liska and Cassman 2008).”
- Remote Sensing Time Series to Evaluate Direct Land Use Change of Recent Expanded Sugarcane Crop in Brazil (2011, background): “[33] in regard to the significant impact of sugarcane on biodiversity, since more than 99% of the recent expanded sugarcane area was on land occupied prior to 2000 with either pasture or agriculture.”
- Adaptation, mitigation, and their disharmonious discontents: an essay (2012, background): “…and food production with implications for global GHG emissions and internationalfood security reflect different specifics but similar patterns of interaction between mitigation and adaptation across temporal and spatial scales (e.g., Naylor et al. 2007; Escobar et al. 2009; Tilman et al. 2009).”
- The impacts and opportunities of oil palm in Southeast Asia: What do we know and what do we need to know? (2009, background): “Assuming a biofuel yield level of 5200 litres per hectare (Naylor et al. 2007), conservative estimates of the additional land area needed to meet these targets (not including the USA, which does not have a specific blending mandate) are 3.5 and 6.3 million hectares by 2010 and 2020, respectively…”
- Carbon payback times for crop-based biofuel expansion in the tropics: the effects of changing yield and technology (2008, background): “For instance, crop-based biofuels have been implicated in recent and projected food price hikes, which are likely to affect the most food insecure people (Naylor et al 2007).”
