    Nanotechnology: Nature's Gift or Scientists' Brainchild?
    Hochella, Michael F. Jr.; Spencer, Michael G.; Jones, Kimberly L. (The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-12-02)
    In the field of environmental nanotechnology, opinions on the novelty of engineered nanomaterials vary; some scientists believe that many engineered nanomaterials are indeed unique, while others are convinced that we are simply fabricating structures already designed in nature. In this article, we present balanced, objective evidence on both sides of the debate. While the idea of novel nanomaterials opens the mind to imagine truly unique structures with architectures unparalleled in nature, the idea that these structures have related analogs in nature has environmental relevance as scientists and engineers aim to design and manufacture more sustainable and environmentally benign nanomaterials.

    Trends and gaps in ecoagriculture-related research
    Buck, Louise; Gavin, Thomas A.; Lee, David; Uphoff, Norman (2004)
    This presentation on ecoagriculture provides an operational definition that includes interdependent factors of agricultural productivity, economics and rural livelihoods, and wild biodiversity. The practical application of these three objectives and the knowledge gaps that require additional research are discussed.
