This review reveals that while agricultural systems design frequently employs practices aligning with Peter Jones's systemic design principles—particularly in appreciating complexity and finding purpose—it lacks explicit theoretical adoption, resulting in a conceptual disconnect that limits its capacity to drive sustained, transformative change in the face of complex socio-ecological pressures.
This study conducted in Sebeta Town, Ethiopia, revealed a high prevalence of bovine mastitis and identified multidrug-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* in dairy cattle, highlighting significant antimicrobial resistance to common drugs like penicillin and ampicillin despite the absence of methicillin-resistant strains.
This study characterizes farm system diversity in central Malawi and demonstrates that the suitability of sustainable intensification practices, particularly conservation agriculture, varies significantly across distinct farm types due to differing resource endowments and trade-offs between productivity, income, and sustainability.
This study demonstrates that plantain peels, often discarded as waste, possess significant nutritional value—including high levels of carbohydrates, fiber, protein, minerals, and vitamins—making them a viable, sustainable resource for food, animal feed, and industrial applications.
This study demonstrates that cultivating *Chlorella sorokiniana* and *Scenedesmus obliquus* in primary urban wastewater effectively removes nutrients and heavy metals to meet agricultural reuse standards while producing distinct, high-value biomass extracts that function as potent biostimulants for crop growth, thereby validating a sustainable circular economy model.
This case report highlights a fatal, radiographically occult diaphragmatic hernia in a small Indian civet that was initially masked by a prominent rectal prolapse, underscoring the critical need for longitudinal monitoring and repeated diagnostic imaging in wildlife trauma cases to avoid underdiagnosis of concurrent life-threatening internal injuries.
Substituting polished maize flour with 10–20% oyster mushroom flour significantly enhances the protein, mineral, and overall nutritional density of complementary foods for children while maintaining sensory acceptability comparable to the unfortified control.
This study validates a reproducible 3D Slicer workflow demonstrating that CT-derived endocranial volume is a highly accurate and cost-effective surrogate for MRI-derived total brain volume in domestic cats, showing strong predictive agreement with negligible bias.
This study in Makurdi, Nigeria, found that both Giemsa- and Field-stained thin blood films are equally effective for diagnosing canine babesiosis, with Field's stain offering a practical advantage due to its faster preparation time, making it a suitable low-cost option for resource-limited veterinary laboratories.
This study proposes a deep learning framework using pre-trained convolutional neural networks to achieve early, automated multi-class detection of chili leaf diseases, demonstrating that MobileNetV2 achieves a 96% accuracy rate on a real-field dataset of 16,392 images from Bangladesh.
