Education and Farmers’ Environmental Performance: A Systematic Literature Review

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(2), С. 796 - 796

Опубликована: Янв. 20, 2025

Climate change and environmental degradation present significant ongoing challenges to the agricultural sector. Formal education has been shown equip farmers with knowledge skills needed improve their performance address these problems. However, there is a notable gap in literature regarding comprehensive review of how farmers’ impacts outcomes. This paper aims bridge that by synthesizing results studies exploring role explaining performance. To this end, we conducted systematic existing literature. We organised resulting 127 into thematic groups provide corresponding overviews. Subsequently, vote-count analysis reported direction statistical significance effects associations between observe reporting at variable level rather than overall study may have led importance for specific being overlooked. suggest way variables are constructed can influence studies, leaving open interpretation. The findings requisite evidence base inform development effective policy measures enhance sustainability farming.

Reconnecting with Gaia to Understand Humanity’s Collective Trauma: Learning from Grandma Belah and Yungadhu

Climate change has been described as an existential crisis for humanity. Much studied and written about the biophysical economic factors contributing to climate change, but very little on psychology of its human-induced origins. In a self-reflective viewpoint influenced by working with Aboriginal people in Australia connecting deeply landscape, this paper explores what connection nature really means why some humanity lost it. It is argued that alternative avenue understanding humanity’s see it trauma problem. At beginning Holocene, several cultures around world, at same time, switched food storage economy triggered rapid climate.

Calorific Value of Zea mays Biomass Derived from Soil Contaminated with Chromium (VI) Disrupting the Soil’s Biochemical Properties

One of the major challenges faced by contemporary agriculture is how to achieve better yields crops and, consequently, higher biomass, even in unfavorable environmental conditions. This challenge corresponds assumptions sustainable development, wherein it envisaged that plant biomass should be used on a large scale for heat generation or conversion biofuels. Keeping pace with observed trends, following study was conducted order determine effect Cr(VI) net calorific value Zea mays, assess impact this element soil enzymatic activity, and identify effectiveness compost humic acids alleviating possible negative effects toxicity. These aims were pursued setting up pot experiment, which either uncontaminated contaminated increasing doses 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 mg Cr kg−1 d.m. submitted biostimulation preparation HumiAgra, source acids, cropped mays.

Managing systemic risk through transformative change: Combining systemic risk analysis with knowledge co-production

One Earth, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 7(5), С. 771 - 781

Опубликована: Май 1, 2024

Increasing interconnectedness, along with the effects of climate change and other global risk drivers, has led to mounting systemic risks in complex systems that characterize our world. Systemic risks, their cascading impacts long-term sustainability concerns, necessitate transformative approaches manage across system scales dimensions. To date, however, an "operationalization gap" impedes translating between propositions for policy options addressing risk. Here, we propose combining analyses local approaches, prominently including knowledge co-production, achieve a more comprehensive understanding systems. This combined approach can support stakeholders designing management adaptation interventions balance individual higher-order interactions, incorporate diverse viewpoints, thus leverage transformation potential effectively. Furthermore, suggest risk-layering help differentiate, prioritize, orchestrate these incremental changes.

Applying recent advances in climate adaptation research to urban heat risk management

Abstract There is unequivocal evidence that anthropogenic climate change supercharging temperature and precipitation regimes globally. One of the clearest signals this seen in current projected increases extreme heat, understood as changes maximums, longer duration heatwaves, higher night‐time temperatures. Extreme heat has substantial impacts on socio‐ecological systems through direct human health labor productivity, crop yields water security; second‐order infrastructure functioning hazards (e.g., increased fire drought incidence). These are differentiated mediated by preexisting vulnerabilities based who you are, what do, where live, your capacities to prepare for, prevent, cope with adapt exposure. Nowhere these increasing more visible than populous, rapidly urbanizing regions. Governments across world piloting implementing management strategies, which variously called heat‐health plans, action resilience so forth. We argue such actions policy agendas can benefit from theoretical advances vulnerability adaptation literature. synthesize five highlight need for suites sequenced pathways sensitive trade‐offs, center equity a normative goal effective adaptation, acknowledge uncertainty differential vulnerabilities, leverage lessons participatory adpatation planning, forward‐looking preparatory actions. consolidate develop an approach inform urban risk management.

A new dynamic framework is required to assess adaptation limits

Global Environmental Change, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 87, С. 102884 - 102884

Опубликована: Июль 1, 2024

Anthropogenic climate change is already causing dangerous and widespread disruptions in global ecological social systems affects the lives of billions people around world. Even with scaled-up risk management adaptation, limits adaptation will often be reached. Currently, very little known about degree to which societies can adapt change, where when In this paper, we conceptualize through a novel methodological framework, assess along pathways, propose research strategy for empirical model-based assessments based on biophysical socio-economic data. Assessing central national international policymaking. More efficient also help mitigation efforts.

Evidence of Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in Dogs and Cats from Households and Animal Shelters in Korea

Опубликована: Окт. 15, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic was caused by the zoonotic SARS-CoV-2. A variety of animals involved in human life worldwide have been investigated for infection. As degree infection increased, extensive monitoring became necessary to determine animals. study conducted on a sample dogs and cats, which were randomly sampled according number confirmed cases region. Animals from both COVID-19-confirmed households generally disease-negative families animal shelters included. Tests included real-time qPCR tests SARS-CoV-2 antigens, ELISA antibodies, plaque reduction neutralization (PRNT) neutralizing antibodies. result, viral RNA detected 2 cats out 1018 pets (672 346 cats). total 16 (2.38%) 18 (5.20%) tested positive using ELISA, 14 (2.08%) 17 (4.91%) PRNT. Antigens of- and/or antibodies regardless whether companion family infected; this case even shelters, regarded as relatively safe transmission. In conclusion, continuous circulation between humans is inevitable; therefore, required.

Geroscience and climate science: Oppositional or complementary?

Aging Cell, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 22(8)

Опубликована: Июнь 1, 2023

Two of this century's most significant public health challenges are climate change and healthy aging. The future humanity will be both warmer older than it is today. Is socially responsible, in a warming planet population exceeding 8 billion people, for science to aspire develop gerotherapeutic drugs that aim reduce the burden aging-related diseases may also increase lifespan? This question "elephant room" geroscience advocacy. Science communication concerning what constitutes empirically valid morally defensible ways navigating dual predicaments aging must sensitive interdependence environment (including planetary health) mechanisms aging, as well common (mis)perceptions about potential conflict between goals geroscience. Geroscience advocacy can transcend narratives intergenerational by highlighting shared aspirations geroscience, such promoting across lifespan, redressing disparities, improving economic prospects current generations.
