A Century of Clover Breeding Developments in the United States (2008, background): “The decoupling of livestock from the land lessened the need for forages such as red clover (Naylor et al., 2005).”
Statistical confirmation of indirect land use change in the Brazilian Amazon (2011, background): “Nevertheless, deforestation continues here, with the expansion of pastures for cattle ranching accounting for the lion’s share of forest loss (Naylor et al 2005, Margulis 2004, Walker et al 2009a).”
The future of production systems in a globalized world (2007, background): “As a consequence, environmental and resource costs are often not accounted for in meat production processes (Naylor et al. 2005).”
Conserving and Enhancing Maize Genetic Resources as Global Public Goods- A Perspective from CIMMYT (2010, background): “Moreover, rising incomes are expected to result in a doubling of consumption of meat across the developing world (Naylor et al., 2005), leading to a predicted growth in demand for feed maize of 2.”
Food and feed trade as a driver in the global nitrogen cycle: 50-year trends (2014, background): “…as the availability of synthetic N fertilizers providing an alternative to manure, have allowed the territorial specialization of large regions into either crop or livestock farming, often creating a disconnection of crop production from livestock breeding (Naylor et al. 2005; Billen et al. 2010).”
Recent cropping frequency, expansion, and abandonment in Mato Grosso, Brazil had selective land characteristics (2014, background): “Mato Grosso’s agricultural development and deforestation have been linked to the rise of soy and beef exports to China, the European Union, and the Middle East (Fearnside 2001, Kaimowitz et al 2004, Naylor et al 2005, Nepstad et al 2006).”
Future protein supply (2011, background): “It is clear that the consumer will be crucial to set a sustainable course (Naylor et al., 2005).”
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).”
Pathways for sustainable development of mixed crop livestock systems: Taking a livestock and pro-poor approach ☆ (2011, background): “In developed countries, livestock systems have transitioned over a relatively short period of some six decades largely to intensive, industrial systems with high levels of livestock production efficiency (see for example Capper et al., 2009; Herrero et al., 2009b; Naylor et al., 2005).”
Land use change and ecosystem service provision in Pampas and Campos grasslands of southern South America (2016, background): “Over the past decades, cropping replaced substantial areas of native grassland, leading to likely irreversible destruction of vast areas of the grassland biome (Naylor et al 2005).”
Livestock: On our plates or eating at our table? A new analysis of the feed/food debate (2017, background): “Some authors have indeed argued that sustainable intensification and efficiency gains will not be sufficient to achieve food security, and that the world will need to reduce its consumption of animal products (see for example Smil, 2014; Naylor et al., 2005).”
Embodied HANPP: Mapping the spatial disconnect between global biomass production and consumption (2009, background): “As market prices neglect impacts of biomass production on other than provisioning ecosystem services, economic benefits from agriculture and forestry may not match the associated loss in ecosystem services (Daily et al., 1997; Costanza et al., 1997; Naylor et al., 2005).”
