Published: March 17, 2024

Climate change poses significant challenges to global food supply chains, impacting various facets of production, distribution, and consumption. This review presents a comprehensive analysis the intricate relationship between climate chain economics, focusing on its impacts, adaptations, sustainability measures. Firstly, disrupts agricultural production through extreme weather events, shifts in precipitation patterns, changes temperature, leading reduced crop yields quality. These impacts ripple entire chain, affecting input costs, market prices, security. Consequently, stakeholders across face heightened risks uncertainties, necessitating adaptive strategies mitigate losses maintain resilience. Secondly, adaptation measures within chains encompass range aimed at minimizing climate-related optimizing resource utilization. may include adopting climate-resilient varieties, implementing precision agriculture techniques, enhancing water management practices, diversifying sourcing distribution channels. Moreover, investments technology, infrastructure, knowledge transfer play pivotal roles capacities fostering variability. Furthermore, ensuring amidst requires multifaceted approach that integrates economic, social, environmental considerations. Sustainable practices such as organic farming, agroforestry, regenerative not only greenhouse gas emissions but also enhance ecosystem resilience promote equitable access resources. collaboration exchange among stakeholders, including farmers, policymakers, researchers, consumers, is essential for promoting innovation driving transformative towards more resilient sustainable systems. In conclusion, understanding complex interplay economics developing effective risks, adaptation, sustainability. By holistic scientific insights, technological innovations, stakeholder engagement, community can work building changing climate. Keywords: Change, Food, Supply, Chain, Economics, Review.

The impact of nature-based solutions on human health is increasingly recognised; however, our understanding the strength evidence and extent to which it supports policy practice insufficient. We aimed assess wellbeing impacts in low-income middle-income settings trees are a central feature protection, restoration, sustainable management landscapes. For this systematic review meta-analysis, we searched Web Science, Embase, APA PsycInfo, MEDLINE ALL, Global Health, Index Medicus, GreenFILE, SciELO, EconLit, Africa-Wide Information for studies that evaluated relevant interventions wellbeing. Searches were limited records published from Jan 1, 2000, search date; an initial was conducted Nov 23, 2021, updated Feb 27-28, 2023. extracted data comparing with matched controls, calculated standardised mean differences, pooled effects using random-effects meta-analysis adjustments potential effect dependence.

Amid the epoch of global overpopulation, agroforestry system can intervene as a novel practice that safeguard agricultural sustainability, provide means livelihood, yield ecological benefits, and contribute to household food security. However, adoption sustained practices requires an understanding both farmers’ personal characteristics perceived statuses, constituting difficult task anticipate, analyze, visualize. To this end, it is crucial understand identify most significant factors driving agroforestry. This research attempts examine determinants psychological drivers smallholder intention plant trees on farmland may discourage them from doing so.
