Conversely, the phenotypic shift of soybean from a vine to a more upright row crop, coupled with the relative lack of change in production practices, has had little impact on its weed suppressive capacity.
At Purdue University, six of Huber's former colleagues pointedly distanced themselves from his findings, encouraging crop producers and agribusiness personnel "to speak with University Extension personnel before making changes in crop production practices that are based on sensationalist claims".
Mitigating and preventing the environmental harms caused by this sector require immediate and substantial changes in regulation, production practices, and consumption patterns.
Accordingly, with this profile approach (3), we keep information on current actual emissions separate from possible avoided emissions associated with changes in production or practices.
The avoided emissions information indicates the potential impact of changes in production or practices on fluxes that are similar to but not identical with information that would be identified by a consequential LCA (4).
There will be a change in livestock production practices, from a local multipurpose activity to a more intensive, market-oriented and increasingly integrated process.
Analysts continue to believe that as low prices persist, this will prompt changes in production and industry practices that, eventually, lessen the supply glut.
Indirect costs can be related to changes in production and management practices [56], though this division is rather theoretical.
These findings point to the changes needed in agricultural production practices in the tropics to better sustain bird communities and, possibly, the functional and service roles that they play.
Dedicated to the actor Ralph Bellamy, the writer Anita Loos "and their many co-workers in the Hollywood cinema," this magisterial work uses 300 movies from 1915 to 1960 (and a bit beyond) to trace changes in Hollywood's production practices and in its technologies through, for instance, a history of cameras.
