Shifting from a linear to a circular bio\uffe2\uff80\uff90economy requires new business models. The objective was getting insights into the uncharted research field of business model innovation for a circular and sustainable bio\uffe2\uff80\uff90economy within the agrifood sector. Eight European cases valorising agricultural waste and by\uffe2\uff80\uff90products by closing loops or cascading were studied regarding their innovation drivers and elements, via interviews, on\uffe2\uff80\uff90site visits and secondary data. In this domain, the findings highlight that business model innovations are depending on the (i) macro\uffe2\uff80\uff90environmental institutional\uffe2\uff80\uff90legal conditions and market trends, (ii) driven by internal economic, environmental and/or social objectives, but especially strongly linked to (iii) other actors often from different sectors seeking synergies and (iv) value co\uffe2\uff80\uff90creation via combined organisational and technological innovations. Business models for a circular bio\uffe2\uff80\uff90economy thus depend on various action levels and need radical combined organisational and technological innovations for a most efficient usage of agricultural waste and by\uffe2\uff80\uff90products. This also means new business configurations instead of linear innovation strategies currently still being dominant due to economic viability.

Our aim was to test this hypothesis for intercropped durum wheat and faba bean along a P-fertilizer gradient. A field experiment was conducted in a long-term P-fertilizer trial with three rates of P-fertilization (No, Low and High P). Microbial biomass was assessed by chloroform fumigation-extraction. Quantitative PCR was applied to evaluate the abundance of relevant microbial groups. Phosphorus availability and microbial biomass systematically increased in the rhizosphere compared to bulk soil. P-fertilization resulted in higher abundance of targeted bacterial phyla, whole bacterial and fungal communities, and depressed mycorrhizal colonization of durum wheat, but not faba bean. Microbial biomass carbon significantly increased in the rhizosphere only in P-fertilized treatments, pointing to P limitation of microbial communities. Intercropping yielded a significant effect on rhizosphere microbial properties only at High P. Microbial biomass P increased in the rhizosphere of intercropped faba bean only at No P level, and was thus the sole finding supporting the stress-gradient hypothesis. P-fertilization was the main driver of microbial communities in this field trial, and P-fertilizer application modulated the species-specific effect in the intercrop. Plant performance did not validate the stress-gradient hypothesis as positive plant-plant interactions occurred regardless of the level of P-fertilization.", "keywords": ["[SDE] Environmental Sciences", "engrais phosphat\u00e9", "F08 - Syst\u00e8mes et modes de culture", "[SDV]Life Sciences [q-bio]", "F62 - Physiologie v\u00e9g\u00e9tale - Croissance et d\u00e9veloppement", "mycorhization", "Triticum turgidum", "630", "fertilisation", "[SHS]Humanities and Social Sciences", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_37554", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_5800", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_10795", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_24199", "2.

Earthworms are known to closely interact with above-ground and under-ground soil biota and particularly with plants and microfaunal communities. This study was aimed at investigating, under greenhouse conditions, the effects of the earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus on banana growth and nutrient uptake, and assessing the influences of this earthworm on the development of an inoculated population of R. similis. Six-week-old tissue culture banana plants were submitted to four treatments: with P. corethrurus, R. similis, P. corethrurus+R. similis, and a control with no earthworms or nematodes. At the end of the experiment, the P. corethrurus treatments showed significantly higher leaf surface areas, shoot dry root weights, and root fresh weights than those without earthworms. This root growth enhancement probably contributed to the evident but non-significant decrease in the density of nematodes in the roots, even though earthworms did not reduce the total number of nematodes per whole root system. Moreover, the presence of earthworms slightly alleviated the severity of root damage. N bioavailability in the soil, along with N, Ca, and Mg content of banana plants, were also significantly increased in the presence of earthworms. Our results demonstrated that banana plant growth and nutrition were positively influenced by earthworms. Cropping practices that boost the development of earthworm communities in soil should therefore be promoted to enhance sustainability and to naturally alleviate nematode impact.", "keywords": ["[SDE] Environmental Sciences", "0301 basic medicine", "PRATYLENCHIDAE", "[SDV]Life Sciences [q-bio]", "endogeic species", "nutrient uptake", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_29111", "pratylenchidae", "F62 - Physiologie v\u00e9g\u00e9tale - Croissance et d\u00e9veloppement", "lutte antin\u00e9matode", "Musa acuminata", "630", "[SHS]Humanities and Social Sciences", "03 medical and health sciences", "absorption de substances nutritives", "Oligochaeta", "GLOSSOSCOLECIDAE", "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_4993", "580", "2.

This question was addressed on a long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term field experiment done on grassland in Erc\uffc3\uffa9 (Central Pyrenees, France), where plots were treated for 6 yr with a factorial combination of mineral N added as NH4NO3 (0 and 190 kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and P (0 and 50 kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and managed with a frequent defoliation regime (3 cuts yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921). Diffusive PO4 ion dynamics at the soil\uffe2\uff80\uff93solution interface was determined by coupling sorption studies with 32P labeling of PO4 ions (Pi) and dilution analysis. Results showed that the soil pH did not change in zero\uffe2\uff80\uff90N treatments (5.9 \uffc2\uffb1 0.1) in comparison with the initial soil (5.9 \uffc2\uffb1 0.1), whereas it decreased to 5.3 \uffc2\uffb1 0.1 on N\uffe2\uff80\uff90treated soils. Meanwhile the cation exchange capacity and exchangeable Ca2+ and Mg2+ contents decreased significantly and the saturation percentage of the adsorption complex by Al3+ increased from 2 to 15; no changes were observed for untreated soils. Furthermore, the gross amount of diffusive Pi (Pr) was accurately described as a function of the concentration of PO4 ions in the solution (Cp) and time (t) by a Freundlich kinetic equation; these dynamics were significantly modified by N supply but not by P.
