The widespread destruction and the devastating humanitarian toll caused by ongoing war on Gaza have transformed this besieged Strip into a place of death despair. This review will explore implications for food security, focusing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2, which seeks to fight malnutrition insecurity achieve zero hunger 2030. work is based grey literature, such as reports from government non-governmental agencies, well recent scientific journal publications. Our results show that has exacerbated already acute Gazans been struggling with since blockade was imposed in 2007. Restless bombardment ground operations damaged or even razed agricultural land all production infrastructure (such bakeries, mills, processing facilities), destroying Gaza’s system. Facing catastrophic levels hunger, some families, especially northern recently resorting eating animal feed weeds survive. With starvation civilians being used method warfare, many experts human rights organizations argue now world’s worst crisis its population verge famine, if not there. Moreover, unprecedented could significant consequences global security six pillars, jeopardizing implementation SDG 2. While international are making efforts mitigate shortage more comprehensive sustainable solutions needed address root causes ensure residents access an adequate nutritious diet.

Abstract Digital technologies have the potential to support achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Existing scientific literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of triple link: “digital – different industry sectors SDGs”. By systematically analyzing extant literature, 1098 sustainable business practices been collected from 578 papers, using 11 digital in 17 industries achieve SDGs. For instance, find that artificial intelligence can be used affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), responsible consumption production 12) as well address climate change 13). Further, geospatial may applied agricultural reduce hunger various domains 2), foster good health well‐being 3), improve availability water sanitation facilities 6), raise awareness on 12), safeguard life land 15), among other insights.

Gender Equality and Green Entrepreneurship in Farms

Sustainable Development, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

ABSTRACT Gender dynamics in agricultural sustainability, particularly within the framework of Agri‐Environmental‐Climate‐Schemes (AECS), play a critical role advancing green entrepreneurship. This study explores gender‐based differences adoption and intensity AECS practices among Hungarian farms, emphasising implications for gender equality sustainable development. Utilising Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data from 2014 to 2021, we apply Blinder‐Oaxaca Recentered Influence Function decomposition models dissect disparities engagement between male‐ female‐headed farms. Findings indicate that, while male‐headed farms receive greater subsidies due larger economic scales resource availability, demonstrate comparable levels when controlled these factors. These insights highlight potential gender‐sensitive policies European Union's Common Agricultural Policy empower female farmers entrepreneurship practices. The study's findings contribute broader understanding gender's influence on development agriculture, with significant policy frameworks that support inclusive climate‐resilient globally.

ABSTRACT Multispectral imaging satellites such as Sentinel‐2 are considered a possible tool to assist in the mapping of soil organic carbon (SOC) using images bare soil. However, reported results variable. The measured reflectance surface is not only related SOC but also several other environmental and edaphic factors. Soil texture one factor that strongly affects reflectance. Depending on spatial correlation with SOC, influence may improve or hinder estimation from spectral data. This study aimed investigate these influences local models at 34 sites different pedo‐climatic zones across 10 European countries. were individual agricultural fields few close proximity.
