Advantages, disadvantages, and reasons for non-adoption of rotational grazing, herbal leys, trees on farms and ley-arable rotations on English livestock farms

Adoption of rotational grazing or multi-species herbal leys, planting trees and integrating livestock into arable rotations can increase agricultural productivity and carbon storage on temperate ruminant livestock farms. However, farmers frequently have rational reasons for not adopting seemingly beneficial management practices. Here, we conduct semi-structured interviews with sheep and beef cattle farmers and industry representatives in England, to determine the advantages, disadvantages, and reasons for non-adoption of these four management practices. We find key reasons that farmers rationally do not adopt these practices include capital outlay, incompatibility with farming objectives, and the risk that desired benefits are not delivered.</p

Proyecto para la reestructuración del transporte urbano de Alcorcón y creación de un intercambiador multimodal

El crecimiento elevado de la población de Alcorcón (Madrid), ha provocado que las infraestructuras y servicios de transporte de la ciudad no puedan satisfacer de manera óptima la demanda de la ciudadanía. En este marco se encuadra la construcción de una terminal de autobuses en la ubicación de la estación de Alcorcón Central para la creación de un nuevo Intercambiador Multimodal de transportes en la ciudad. El objeto del proyecto de construcción que se lleva a cabo, es definir los elementos de los que se compone el nuevo aparcamiento de disuasión del Intercambiador Multimodal de Alcorcón y el nuevo firme de la Avenida de Villaviciosa proyectados, de forma que se facilite la integración de los modos de transporte en la ubicación del proyecto, se fomente la accesibilidad a la zona de proyecto de estos modos y se afecte lo mínimo posible al entorno de su ejecución
