In het klimaatakkoord zult u tevergeefs zoeken naar een plan de luchtvaart klimaatvriendelijker te maken. Voor Martien Visser alle reden om de luchtvaartsector in het Klimaatakkoord 2.0 op te nemen en als Nederland bij te dragen aan de ontwikkeling van schone vliegtuigen.

The present work aims at providing broader insight into the environmental impact of milk production by comparing greenhouse gas (GHG) and nitrogen (N) emissions of milk production among the intensive and extensive dairy farming systems from production and land-use perspectives. Three dairy farms in the …

Greenhouse gas emissions from dairy farming have been a topic of concern all over the world with some countries having taken pilot studies in quantifying the emissions in their farms. This study was done to calculate and compare the carbon footprint in small and large-scale dairy farms in Zimbabwe.

The generation of food loss and waste is a topic that gained increasing attention over the past years. The most prominent estimate is that a third, or 1.3 billion tons, of the human food produced is wasted every year. The massive overproduction of food products on the one side and the malnutrition of …

In 2018 is door de International Maritime Organization (IMO) twee doelen opgenomen in het IMO Greenhouse Gas Strategy. Ten opzichte van 2008 moet in 2030 de koolstofintensiteit tot 40% gereduceerd zijn en in 2050 moet de totale uitstoot van broeikasgassen door de internationale scheepvaart gehalveerd …

Martien Visser neemt het Net-Zero scenario van het IEA onder de loep. “Het geeft een goede indruk van de uitdagingen die we voor ons hebben. Hoe gaan wie die waarmaken of zelfs overtreffen?”

Climate change is undermining the importance and sustainability of cooperatives as important organizations in small holder agriculture in developing countries. To adapt, cooperatives could apply carbon farming practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance their business by increasing yields, …

This research aimed to find out how the Netherlands and the UAE can collaborate on seaweed production by using the Dubai Expo to bring both parties together. Seaweed brings a green solution towards the Food Security index pressures felt in the UAE now. These pressures are; water availability, oceans …

Local farmers in Central Kalimantan have continued to destroy peatlands in the area to make space for planting more profitable crops like oil palm. These peatlands store huge amounts of carbon and degrading them increases the release of greenhouse gases emissions. For this reason, planting of naturally …

Many species of parasitoid wasps use plant volatiles to locate their herbivorous hosts. These volatiles are reliable indicators of host presence when their emission in plants is induced by herbivory. Hyperparasitoids may also use information from lower trophic levels to locate their parasitoid hosts …
