Strain PB92(T) of Pedobacter agri, which belongs to the family Sphingobacteriaceae, was isolated from soil in the Republic of Korea. The draft genome of strain PB92(T) contains 5,141,552 bp, with a G+C content of 38.0%. This is the third genome sequencing project of the type strains among the Pedobacter species.

The International Agricultural Trade Research Consortium is an informal association of University and Government economists interested in agricultural trade. Its purpose is to foster interaction, improve research capacity and to focus on relevant trade policy issues. It is financed by United States Department of Agriculture (ERS, and FAS), Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the participating ...

Agriculture was launched in June 2011 as a scholarly, open access journal for publishing research covering the breadth of agriculture value chain from an international perspective [...]

improved quality, healthiness, and variety in their food (Verbeke 2005, IDDBA 2008). Accordingly, demand for agri-food products with credence attributes (e.g., place of origin, organic, locally grown, environment-friendly, and fair trade) is increasing rapidly (Nimon and Beghin 1999, Loureiro and Umberger 2007, Basu and Hicks 2008, Darby et al. 2008, Kanter, Messer, and Kaiser 2008, Froelich, C...

Intercropping of agricultural crops with woody species is an age-old practice in traditional farming systems in the tropics. Food production is the major aim of subsistence farmers with most of their farmland being allocated to food crops rather than to trees and shrubs. Due to increasing population and scarcity of productive lands that cannot sustain intensive exploitation, one method that has...

Integrated supply chains are one of the most powerful competitive tools in today's globalizing business economy. For agricultural products, successful supply chain development projects reduce not only the transaction costs but also the institutional barriers that decouple individual links in traditional distribution channels. They allow participants to achieve higher levels of service and to ca...

Different organizational arrangements have supported the adoption of sustainable-oriented innovations (SOIs) in agri-food industry. However, despite promises SOIs, diffusion has been slow. We claim that gap between creation and SOIs is due to neglect governance dimension sustainable value chains. This study contributes bridging this by providing a theoretical framework disentangles elements cir...
