The agricultural sector is responsible for substantial amounts of greenhouse gas emissions that exacerbate climate change. Such greenhouse gas emissions from upland crops are difficult to abate because they are dominated by nitrous oxide (N2O) production from soil processes. Strategies to reduce these emissions focus on N fertilizer management, and there is a widespread assumption that legume crops, which do not receive N fertilizer, emit little N2O. Here we show that this assumption is incorrect; approximately 40% of N2O emissions from the most extensive cropping system in North America—the maize–soybean rotation—occur during the soybean phase. Yet, due to the lack of N fertilizer input, opportunities for emissions abatement from the soybean phase are unclear. Using models of cropping systems, we developed a strategy that combines cover-crop management and earlier planting of extended growth soybean varieties to reduce emissions from soybean production by 33%. These practices, which complement N fertilizer management in maize, are widely accessible and represent an immediate, climate-smart strategy to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from soybean production, thus not only contributing to climate-change mitigation but also maintaining productivity while adapting to changing weather patterns. Soil processes involved in agricultural practices emit considerable levels of nitrous oxide, which detrimentally contribute to climate change. This study explores strategies to reduce nitrous oxide emissions while maintaining crop productivity in the US maize–soybean rotational cropping system.

Many high-quality educational innovations are freely available, and some are known to motivate evidence-based climate and sustainability action. Typically, efforts to propagate educational innovations rely on outreach and word-of-mouth diffusion, but these approaches tend to achieve little. We develop and analyse a dynamic computational model to understand why and to test other propagation strategies. Our analysis reveals that outreach has limited impact and does little to accelerate word-of-mouth adoption under conditions typical in higher education. Instead, we find that community-based propagation can rapidly accelerate adoption, as is also shown by a small number of successful real-world scaling efforts. This approach supports a community of ‘ambassadors’, facilitating and rewarding their sharing the innovation with potential adopters. Community-based propagation can generate exponential growth in adopters, rapidly outpacing outreach and word-of-mouth propagation. Without it, we are unlikely to rapidly scale the educational innovations needed to build urgently needed capacity in sustainability. Innovative educational methods can be difficult to spread across universities and instructors. This study examines the best routes to rapidly scale new methods in sustainability education.

Rubidium (Rb) is a valuable rare alkali metal that plays a crucial role in various high-tech applications, but extracting Rb from conventional sources poses sustainability challenges. A considerable amount of Rb is found in potassium chloride (KCl) salts, which can serve as a sustainable source depending on the extraction methods. Current liquid-phase methods are problematic due to the low Rb/K separation factor and high consumption of energy, water and chemicals. Extracting Rb directly from solid KCl salts is a promising approach, but achieving efficient recovery remains a challenge. Here we propose a crystal ripening microextraction strategy that enables in situ extraction of Rb from solid KCl salts with high selectivity, simplicity and high efficiency. By applying this strategy, we recovered 92.37% of Rb from KCl salts with an initial Rb content of 113 ppm. Compared with liquid-phase extraction, our approach results in a 97.57% reduction in energy consumption, a 22.24% increase in recovery efficiency and a 13.46-fold higher Rb/K separation factor, which substantially enhance environmental and economic benefits. In addition, this approach is suitable for recovering other target metals needed for various industrial applications directly from different solid metallic salts, providing a pathway to improve the sustainability of critical metal supply. Sustainably extracting rubidium (Rb), a valuable critical metal, from alternative sources remains challenging. Here the authors report a crystal ripening microextraction strategy that allows efficient Rb extraction from potassium chloride salts, with large environmental and economic benefits.

Sustainable coexistence with wildfire requires overcoming vicious cycles that trap socio-ecological systems in maladaptive states. A carefully coordinated programme of innovation, education and governance, the ‘wildfire adaptation triad’, is essential for escaping maladaptation across national, community and individual scales.

Healthy diets are known for their co-benefits of reducing environmental impacts and enabling the same agricultural resources to feed a larger human population. The EAT-Lancet (healthy reference) diet allows for compound benefits to human health and the ecosystem. It is unclear, however, to what extent the requirements of the EAT-Lancet diet may be sustainably met at the global scale. Here we combine a spatially distributed agro-hydrological model with a linear optimization analysis to relocate crops, minimizing, at the country scale, the irrigation-water consumption while improving the worldwide achievement of the EAT-Lancet nutritional goals. To that end, we define six dietary scenarios based on country-specific dietary habits from religion-related traditions, and existing livestock production systems, maintaining the same agricultural trade patterns (import–export relations). Our results suggest that an optimized global cropland allocation, and an adjustment in trade flows, would allow the global population to be fed with the EAT-Lancet diet, with a global reduction of the cultivated area of 37–40%, irrigation-water consumption of 78% (±3%), and unsustainably irrigated areas of 22%. The adoption of the EAT-Lancet diet increases the global food trade share of global food production, measured in kilocalories, from 25% (baseline) to 36% (±2%). The transition towards a sustainable food system that enhances the adoption of healthy diets globally is an urgent challenge. A study shows how the EAT-Lancet diet requirement could be met through sustainable agricultural strategies reducing land and water constraints.

Functionally connected marine conservation areas are widely recognized as a cornerstone for successful biodiversity conservation outcomes and small-scale fisheries livelihoods. Incorporating fish species movement into fisheries community-based managed areas can catalyse greater conservation and socioeconomic benefits. However, significant gaps exist in aligning small-scale fisheries management with fish connectivity or movement patterns, which can optimize benefits along coral reef systems and associated coastal small-scale fisheries. Here we describe a translational framework that integrates evidence-based connectivity conservation into small-scale fisheries in community-based managed area settings while considering cumulative benefits over time and space to ensure long-term socioeconomic and environmental benefits across such systems. Reef fish species associated with small-scale coastal fisheries often have life histories that involve dispersal and migration. This Perspective provides a framework to incorporate such fish movement patterns or connectivity into sustainable fisheries management and conservation of coral reefs.

Although cropland expansion continues in many regions, substantial areas of cropland have been abandoned in recent decades as a result of demographic, socioeconomic and technological changes. Variation among species and habitats and limited information on the nature and duration of abandonment have resulted in controversy over how abandonment affects biodiversity. Here, we use annual land-cover maps to estimate habitat changes for 1,322 bird and mammal species at 11 sites across four continents for 1987–2017. We find that most bird (62.7%) and mammal species (77.7%) gain habitat because of cropland abandonment, yet even more would have benefited (74.2% and 86.3%, respectively) if recultivation had not occurred. Furthermore, many birds (32.2%) and mammals (27.8%) experienced net habitat loss after accounting for agricultural conversion that occurred before or alongside abandonment. While cropland abandonment represents an important conservation opportunity, limiting recultivation and reducing additional habitat loss are essential if abandonment is to contribute to biodiversity conservation. Despite net cropland expansion in recent decades, substantial areas of cropland have been abandoned for a variety of socioeconomic reasons. This study evaluates the effects of such cropland abandonment on bird and mammal species across four continents.
