• Integrated assessment of agricultural systems: a component - based framework for the European Union (Seamless) (2008, background): “Dalgaard et al. (2003) recognized scaling from one hierarchical level to another as a key issue in agro-ecology.”
• Agroecology as a science, a movement and a practice. A review (2009, neutral): “Dalgaard et al. (2003) defined agroecology as “the study of the interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment within agricultural systems” in covering “integrative studies within agronomy, ecology, sociology and economics”, From their analysis of the situation and state of the…”
• Sustainable pest management for cotton production. A review (2011, background): “As much for socio-economic as for ecological reasons, from here comes a re-examination of farming systems traditionally practiced, via an innovative agro-ecological approach (Dalgaard et al., 2003).”
• Conversion to organic farming: a multidimensional research object at the crossroads of agricultural and social sciences. A review (2011, background): “Interdisciplinarity is considered by these authors as a prerequisite to the development of agroecology, as economic and social aspects have to be included (Altieri, 1989; Dalgaard et al., 2003).”
• Mycorrhizas and tropical soil fertility (2006, background): “011 In the last century, the so-called Green Revolution technologies, such as the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and high-yielding cultivars, were used to overcome these constraints (Dalgaard et al., 2003).”
• Investing in the transition to sustainable agriculture (2016, background): “Therefore, when combined with significant policy and organizational support, more robust agroecological research programs appear to offer the most pragmatic approach for successfully fulfilling the human right to food while restoring environmental quality in the face of global climate change and rap”
• Agroecology as an Alternative Vision to Conventional Development and Climate-smart Agriculture (2015, background): “However, it was the increasing awareness of the environmental impacts and pollution caused by industrial farming that really set the stage for closer links between agronomy and ecology in the search for more sustainable agriculture(s) (Herber, 1962; Merrill, 1976; Dalgaard et al., 2003).”
• Agricultural sustainability: concepts, principles and evidence (2008, background): “Agricultural systems, or agroecosystems, are amended ecosystems (Conway 1985; Gliessman 1998, 2005; Olsson & Folke 2001; Dalgaard et al. 2003; Odum & Barrett 2004; Swift et al. 2004) that have a variety of different properties (table 2).”
• Microbial Community Structure and Diversity as Indicators for Evaluating Soil Quality (2010, background): “However, many rural communities in the tropics and sub-tropics are still persistently affected by insufficient household food production (Dalgaard et al. 2003).”
• A quantitative and qualitative historical analysis of the scientific discipline of agroecology (2009, background): “Dalgaard et al. (2003) state that an indication for a new or separate discipline, in their case agroecology, is that the numbers of references to agroecology have increased over recent years, indicating that more scientists feel that their work lies sufficiently far from existing scientific discipli”
• Systemic perspectives on scaling agricultural innovations. A review (2016, background): “Hansen and Coenen 2015) whereas they are highly important in the context of agriculture (Dalgaard et al. 2003; Diaz et al. 2013; Foran et al. 2014; Sinclair et al. 2014).”
