Understanding the impact of land ownership on household food security is crucial for achieving sustainable rural and agricultural development in developing countries through improved farm performance. Using a multistage sampling technique to collect data from 156 urban farmers, this study analysed farmers Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal Province South Africa. This employed probit model evaluate drivers among while marginal treatment effects was address selection bias attributed observed unobserved characteristics. The analysis status reveals varying degrees insecurity, with majority households experiencing mild insecurity smaller proportion facing moderate insecurity. Our results show that likelihood positively significantly influenced by monthly income, age, membership cooperative, gender distance market have negative significant impacts. empirical also reduces 50%. In conclusion, interplay educational level, size, access water, credit, shapes outcomes. A comprehensive understanding these relationships essential effective policies aimed at enhancing security, particularly regions where critical determinant productivity availability.

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 27, 2025

Climate change presents significant risks to marginalized communities, particularly in tribal groups like the Bhil and Bhilala communities of Madhya Pradesh, India. Limited empirical studies have focused on effects climate tribes This study aims assess risk vulnerability among employing modified Mann–Kendall (MMK) test identify trends, a assessment framework based Intergovernmental panel sixth report (IPCC-AR6), multiple linear regression (MLR). The MMK indicates an increasing trend rainfall (MMK = 1.099) temperature. However, household perceptions reveal high awareness climatic changes, with 97% respondents reporting irregularity 98% documenting increased summer hot days. shows that households face higher (0.107) than (0.068), which is determined by exposure sensitivity. MLR results further emphasize 12 23 indicators significantly affect (R-squared 0.698), events (β 0.015), housing structure 0.07), food security being key contributors. findings indicate long-term trends are already affecting livelihoods. It calls for targeted adaptation strategies, incorporating enhanced infrastructure, crop diversification, better access information government schemes.

Advances in environmental engineering and green technologies book series, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 29 - 72

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2025

Traditional agroforestry practices integrate trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes are deeply informed by indigenous knowledge systems. These practices, shaped millennia of observation, offer insights sustainable land management. Indigenous enhances understanding local ecosystems, soil types, climatic conditions, resulting in techniques that balance production with ecological conservation. Examples include the “milpa” system Mesoamerica, which combines maize, beans, squash diverse trees, “taungya” Southeast Asia, merges crops young tree plantations. foster biodiversity, promote various plant species for economic benefits, reflect a keen awareness seasonal cycles, maximizing yields while minimizing environmental impact. Despite facing modern challenges like tenure issues, integrating scientific approaches can enhance sustainability resilience systems, crucial addressing challenges.
