Abstract Climate-smart agriculture is guided by three main goals: increased productivity, enhanced resilience (climate change adaptation), and reduced emissions mitigation). Early mature crop varieties have been promoted to minimize the impact of climate extreme weather events on farming activities. This study examined effects adopting early rice agricultural adaptation, mitigation. Data came from a cross-sectional sample 1396 farmers in Hubei, China. Productivity was measured via mean yield. Production risk (variance yield) downside (skewness were used as proxies for adaptation. Life cycle assessment calculate greenhouse gas production. Results indicated that maturing significantly yield production risk, emissions. Altogether, this provided evidence using positively contributed goals climate-smart agriculture. Our findings provide insight into formulating future policies programs promoting sustainability China other developing nations region.

Background Indoor air pollution is a serious threat to human health, especially for women, children, and adolescents. Objective This study aimed understand the awareness perceptions about Air Pollution (IAP) among undergraduate nursing dental students in United Arab Emirates. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted on 388 from health sciences university structured questionnaire used collect data. consecutive sampling technique recruit participants. Frequency, percentage, median, interquartile range were summarize variables, while Mann Whitney U test t-test differences statistical significance. Results Most of expressed having somewhat level knowledge (39.7%) regarding its effects (28.4%). (54.1%) perceived their indoor quality be poor, with 32% who little worried it. Only 26.3% 27.8% had high perception IAP. Conclusion The findings demonstrate an urgent need strategies like educational campaigns curriculum redesign improve literacy locally globally.

This research aimed to determine salient factors affecting the decision become a beginning organic farmer. New and farmers have unique characteristics, showcasing their dedication environmental justice social at expense of own businesses. why people with no background in agriculture would start farm when it is high-risk low-return business. With multigenerational aging out agriculture, we investigated new generation shifting demographics entering farming that will replace retiring feed our future. employed multiple-case case study design. We conducted semi-structured interviews 40 first-generation who operate farms Arkansas, Florida, or Georgia. analyzed interview transcripts using qualitative analysis approach coding. Our results reveal two primary reasons little practical knowledge farms. First, they are inspired by those around them succeed, second, encouraged influential characters field assure can do something love be profitable. showed find inspiration develop values rooted food justice. findings implications for developing implementing current future programmatic activities aim enhance farmer training workforce development. identified sources help researchers service providers target newer support vibrant system, including burgeoning market opportunities, strong communities food, building grassroots solutions.
