Abstract By implementing nature-based solutions (NBS), cities generate value for their residents, such as health and wellbeing. We estimate the aggregate social to urban residents of 85 NBS projects implemented across Europe find that majority yield attractive returns on investment. offer a new metric support investments by public private actors whom creation is core objective.

The concept and application of nature-based solutions (NBS) have been rapidly progressing in Europe Latin America, reflecting a transition the way that urban governance is perceived. There large call for collaborative, polycentric, interdisciplinary NBS. However, research on options operationalising these processes different contexts still insufficient. This study explores analyses operationalisation NBS adaptive America. Seven cities are part project EU-H2020 CONEXUS selected as case studies: Barcelona, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Lisbon, Santiago de Chile, São Paulo, Turin. contribution aims to (i) understand how managed; (ii) identify main positive negative factors influence governance; (iii) common relationships can hinder or drive forward investigated contexts. results revealed priorities indicating shared pathway America; however, context-dependent specificities were also observed. These findings be used support both European American developing plans actions more efficient enabling implementation through governance.

In this article, we focused on studying the current barriers to implementing innovations in order for agricultural sector become more sustainable. Through a systematic literature review (SLR), 73 scientific articles were obtained with search equation SCOPUS. Of these, 48 analyzed because of mention an obstacle preventing from towards sustainability. Information related publication year, abstract, authors, keywords, innovation, innovation type, relationship Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), identified barrier, nature barrier (internal/external), subsector, country, and methodology each article was identified, VantagePoint software, technological surveillance technique applied as quantitative analysis information. The United States is country most publications subject. mentioned keywords “Sustainable Agriculture”, “Agroecology”, “Climate Change”, “Innovation”, “Organic Farming”. Additionally, qualitative showed 43 types innovations, 16 them technology.

The attention given to nature-based solutions (NBS) in urban governance is often hindered by the fragmentation of responsibilities technical and administrative services rigid structural conditions within regimes. This drastically harms NBS implementation their co-benefits. There limited information regarding integration across levels scales governance, particular a lack studies that access such policy planning. study aims address this gap exploring planning Barcelona, Lisbon, Turin, three European municipalities participating H2020 project CONEXUS. objectives are: (1) understand state top-down bottom-up cities; (2) barriers might hinder evolution agenda said instruments; (3) identify entry points can catalyze forms cross-sectoral, multi-level, interdisciplinary toward transformative change. methods used include an in-depth analysis official municipal, metropolitan, regional, national documents expert interviews. results show novel all cities but advancing considerably with initial dialogues among public sector, academia, local actors various provenances. Planning silos persists, negatively impacting any possible confluence actions implementation. However, constellation international plans including NBS, combined development cross-cutting policies plans, increasing interest from citizens, reveal enabling environment for policies. Our findings are translated into insights support decision makers operationalize municipal agendas, policies, plans.

Abstract Smallholder farmers, crucial to global food security, face challenges in sustainable integration into agricultural innovation due inherent flaws existing finance models. This research addresses the conspicuous gap comprehensive reviews on agriculture through a bibliometric approach. Financial constraints, limited market access, and climate vulnerability plague smallholder hindering long-term sustainability of current financial study aims systematically map scholarly landscape models for focusing adoption innovations. A critical knowledge exists regarding patterns trends innovations by farmers. The utilizes RAPID framework streamlined evidence-based review, employing RStudio bibliometrix-package. analysis recognize, assess, purge, investigate, document key themes emerging literature. Noteworthy from indicate rise approaches, with VOSviewer as prevalent tool. contributes methodologically advocating Scopus primary database. study’s significance lies informing policy, practice, initiatives supporting By revealing patterns, this guide design innovative context-specific instruments, fostering more inclusive landscape. In conclusion, endeavors bridge provide novel insights at intersection adoption. anticipated outcomes will inform development tailored models, advancing resilience productivity farmers globally.
