“…The project we report here can be readily scaled up or down. The extensive and methodical experience gained from this integrated agroforestry system corresponds closely with previous research, which underscore the benefits of various native tree species in helping soil restoration and offering a great value to complement agricultural practices [35][36][37][38][39] . We believe that the fundamental variables and concepts underpinning our integrated agroforestry system can be adapted and applied to various agricultural activities globally with the help of the digital revolution 40 , offering transferable strategies for sustainable land use.…”

The development of industrialized agriculture has met the need to feed a growing global population with higher quality foods, through increases in yields, productivity, and efficiency. However, agriculture is now a dominant force behind many environmental threats including excessive deforestation, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, chemical pollution, and contributions to greenhouse gasses and global warming. These externalities can no longer be ignored. Several agricultural movements arose as an alternative to the conventional farming paradigm, using various terms including “organic”, “biodynamic”, “ecological”, and “biological”. None has been capable of challenging the development trajectory of conventional agriculture, underpinned by simplification, specialisation, and increased inputs. As extreme climate events have become globally more common, a heightening of the level of public awareness about global warming and the relevance of ecosystem services provides an opportunity for change. All climate adaptation and mitigation strategies with a potential to have global impact are worth disseminating and discussing. Agroforestry, which is the intentional combination of trees and shrubs with crops or livestock, could be the next step in sustainable agriculture. This multifunctional approach for our food system, focusing on complexity, diversity, and recycling, mimicking nature’s functions, has the potential to sustain production while supporting a range of ecosystem services. For over two decades and a half we have committed heavily in the creation of the integrated agroforestry system we document here. The creation and continued leveraging of the system provide an example that it is possible to recover biodiversity and ecosystem services on lands previously eroded due to highly extractive exploitation. Collaborations with public extension agencies have helped in capacity building and public outreach to show how an economic activity can be strengthen by the recovery of natural complexity. We believe that our project and similar ones should be one type of strategy in the toolkit for meeting the 2030 biodiversity targets, e.g., as discussed in the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 15) Global Biodiversity Framework.

“…Tea-and infusion-oriented consumers are better inclined towards mate tea. For this group of consumers, taste is a key consumption driver, accompanied with easiness of consumption (e.g., mate tea bags) [70]. Third, as confirmed by other studies, food neophobia results support the idea that younger consumers are better inclined towards new products, compared to older consumers [71].…”

Mate is the most consumed beverage in South America. There is interest in expanding yerba mate sales into the old and new markets by promoting its health properties and energizing effects. The research study aims to explore Argentinian and Italian purchasing and consumption behavior and perception of yerba mate. The exploration includes agro-food chain stakeholders’ views, and consumers’ habits, perception, knowledge of yerba mate in relation to other market positioning caffeine-containing products. Data collection includes qualitative method, such as interviews with agro-food chain stakeholders, that is producers, processors, consumers, and quantitative consumer survey. Data collection was carried out in Argentina and in Italy. Results show that in Argentina yerba mate consumption is driven by habit and tradition, and in Italy yerba mate is mostly unknown. Consumers tend to drink yerba mate in Argentina and other caffeine-containing beverages in Italy to socialize, and as source of energy. Consumers have little awareness of yerba mate antioxidant properties. Yerba mate provides the energy of coffee drinking, and the taste and pleasure of tea drinking. Italian consumers’ key challenge to yerba mate drinking is the longer time it takes, compared to the usual espresso. Italians perceive it as an energetic or relaxing beverage, with a consumption experience similar to tea and infusions. There is need to update commercialization strategy of yerba mate in Italy.

“…The yerba mate tree is native and adapted to the Atlantic Forest biome environment, however the full-sun monoculture practice of this crop is extensive (Montagnini et al 2011). In this context, yerba mate is negatively affected by diverse insect and acari pests, in addition to fungi and viral pathogens (Sosa et al 2011;Debat et al 2014a;Rybak et al 2014;Bejerman et al 2017Bejerman et al , 2020Bergottini et al 2017).…”

“…In this sense, model agronomical practices were implemented to maintain plants and soil health (Burtnik et al 2006;Barbaro 2017;Zelada Cardozo & Gonzalez Villalba 2019). However, the multiple stress scenario that affect current yerba mate plantations is expected to be negatively enhanced by the global climate changes (Roeber et al 2021) leading to major socioeconomic problems associated to an unsustainable system (Montagnini et al 2011;MECON 2018). An alternative agroforestry approach, such as the return of yerba mate to its adapted forest conditions, is now considered (Dos Santos 2009;Montagnini et al 2011;Marques et al 2019;Salas et al 2019;Pereira Croge et al 2021), together with the recent study of associated microbes -some of them growth promoters-to the sustainable cultivation of this crop (Bergottini et al 2017;Laczeski et al 2020).…”

As main outcomes of those studies in yerba mate, shade conditions decreased stress, influenced nutrient richness at the leaves and flavour, and increased diversity of the root-associated microbiome.…”

Dry leaves and twigs of yerba mate are widely infusion-consumed in southern Southamerica. Endemic and adapted to the Atlantic Forest, its extensive full-sun monoculture links to diverse biotic (pest, pathogens) and abiotic stresses (solar radiation, drought), impacting its productivity, ecology and socioeconomic niche. We focused in comprehensively characterize the DNAJ gene family in yerba mate to predict its possible roles on development and diverse stress responses to further assist crop manage. Our results suggest that yerba mate DNAJ proteins account 140 diverse members of six structural types displaying potential variable roles in protein homeostasis control. We were able to classify them into 51 distinct orthology groups, in agreement to Arabidopsis, and performed translational genomics of function, localization, expression and stress responsiveness data. Genome mapping and expression analysis indicated that yerba mate DNAJ genes differ in expression, nucleotide composition, length and exon-intron structure. Intronless or few introns genes -linked to rapid stress response- accounted 85 DNAJs. Promoters of DNAJ genes harbored a 73.2% of cis-acting regulatory elements involved in response to diverse stresses, hormones and light, simultaneously. We hypothesize that yerba mate DNAJs assist to plant survival during multiple stresses linked to current dominant agroecosystem but promote its growth under shade.
