Capa do livro mostrando um campo de cultivo verdejante com plantas altas e um caminho estreito de terra a atravessá-lo. Título numa caixa beige: “Plantation Knowledge”. Subtítulo: “Colonização, exploração e intercâmbio agrícolas desde 1500”. Indicação dos autores na parte inferior: “Editado por Nicholas B. Miller e Ulrike Lindner.”

📖 The book ‘Plantation Knowledge’ includes a chapter by Marta Macedo which ‘explores the deep ties forged between São Tomé and the Congo through cocoa plantation projects spanning two decades, from the early 1890s to the early 1910s.’

Pineda‐Zapata, S., & Mola‐Yudego, B. (2025). European Biomass Production Systems: Characterization and Potential Contribution to Land Use Diversity. GCB Bioenergy, 17(7), e70057. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.70057 The global demand for biomass-based products, including biofuels and biomaterials, is projected to rise significantly in the coming decades, driven by climate change mitigation and the pursuit of energy independence. Expanding biomass production systems, such as short-rotation plantations and energy grasses, offers a promising option to meet this demand. Although these systems deliver environmental benefits, such as carbon sequestration and water purification, their large-scale implementation may lead to landscape homogenization. Conversely, strategically deployed biomass systems can enhance local land use diversity, support biodiversity, and generate mixed income opportunities for farmers. In this study, we present a harmonized analysis of European biomass production systems using spatial data from over 426,783 fields and stands, covering 2,140,568 ha across 17 countries. By integrating empirical data with landscape metrics, we assess the spatial distribution, scale, and land use context of diverse biomass systems ranging from short-rotation plantations to energy grasses. Our results show that depending on their location, biomass production systems have the potential to enhance local land use diversity and support multifunctional landscapes that mitigate the risks associated with large-scale monocultures. Conversely, poorly integrated systems may lead to landscape homogenization and reduced ecological resilience. These findings provide a baseline for crop species selection and spatial planning, thereby informing land use policies that harmonize bioenergy production with environmental sustainability.

Durian fruit

1/4 Do you know durian? The "smelly fruit" is known for its intense aroma – so strong that it is banned in public spaces in some countries.
📈 Rising demand from the Chinese market has led to the rapid expansion of durian #plantations across #SoutheastAsia.
But who really benefits from this boom❓
