The conventional linear system of global food production and consumption is unsustainable as it responsible for a substantial share greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity declines due land use change, agricultural water stress resource-intensive patterns degradation. During the last decade (1994–2014), example, emissions from agriculture in Africa were reported to increase at an average annual rate between 2.9% 3.1%, equivalent 0.44 Gt 0.54 CO2 per annum, respectively. Between 2000 2020, agrifood systems shown decrease all major regions world, except Asia, where they grew by 35 20 percent, With most circular practices still central developing African countries, continent can spearhead return agriculture. Using descriptive review approach, we explore literature examine extent which deploying these practices, potential areas improvement lessons world embracing sustainable production. We underscore that farming communities sub-Saharan have, decades, been using some effective principles further show strategies akin include agronomic smart irrigation options, renewable energy harvesting waste-to-fertilizer technologies. All technologies, are production, not new Africa, although may require packaging advocacy reach wider community Africa.

The climate crisis poses a substantial risk to achieving global food security and sustainability. This chapter presents an analysis of the current level knowledge regarding agroforestry's ability promote simultaneously resilience, availability, eco-friendly land use. Agroforestry systems (AFS) are recognized as potent carbon (C) sinks, effectively reducing atmospheric dioxide (CO2) levels. It is estimated that trees in AFS can sequester 0.3-24 tC ha-1 yr-1. AFS, which occupy about 1 billion ha worldwide, have potential remove more than 10GtC yr-1 from atmosphere if fully optimized. C sequestration benefits be monetized by farmers, providing supplementary income source through credit market. In addition sequestration, provide numerous co-benefits such food, biodiversity conservation, soil erosion control, water cycling. key strategy for counteracting excessive emissions.

Agroforestry practices (AFPs) play a critical role in enhancing income and reducing poverty. This study assessed the effect of AFPs on poverty status farmers Lay Armachiho (LA), Bahir Dar Zuria (BDR), Banja districts Northwestern Ethiopia. 387 households, 63 key informants were interviewed. Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, FGT index, Gini coefficient, multiple linear regression. About 49.35% respondents are categorized poor with gap 18.93 severity level 9.7. was greatest persons below (59.2%), followed by BDR (49.72%). contribute 28.43% to household income. Income from lowered ratio, households 13%, 9%, 7%, respectively. area between line equality Lorenz curve, as well 7.97%. also disparity all districts. Age, land size, road accessibility, irrigation, experience, types affect positively. Family size membership credit institutions had negative effect. Thus, order lower raise income, labor productivity, service system, irrigation infrastructure, need be improved scaled up.

Abstract China is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in world, and agricultural GHG emission accounts for nearly a fifth total China. To understand carbon absorption characteristics production systems those arid oasis areas, typical representative city northwestern China, Zhangye City, was selected study.The factor method used to analyze calculate changing dynamics whole system region (38,592 km 2 ) from 2010 2021.The results revealed that emissions during planting mainly come fertilizers, which account highest proportion (47.9%) planting. Animal enteric fermentation local livestock farming are main contributor (86%) emissions. The annual average intensity 4.4 t C-eq ha −1 crop 2.6 system. ratio sequestration crops 1:1.7. We find slightly exceeds its study region, with an 41% sustainable development index. Carbon this area driven by industry, mostly CH 4 cattle raising.Reducing typically raising, will play crucial role reducing maintaining net positive balance.

Abstract Rice is an important staple food and the main source of income livelihood, especially for rural communities in Malaysia. However, area under rice cultivation Malaysia has decreased due to poor quality fields low productivity climate change. Agroforestry a system that combines trees with crops or livestock. It not only counteracts effects change by increasing resilience agriculture, but also combats poverty, security, land degradation. The aim this study was determine awareness perception farmers Siburan, Sarawak, toward agroforestry. data were obtained through questionnaire‐based interviews Kampung Skuduk Chupak. Statistical tests used analyze compare data. Farmers’ knowledge agroforestry practices limited, among non‐agroforestry practitioners. There no significant difference between practitioners as practiced on small scale household consumption there are commercial market opportunities products. Governmental non‐governmental organizations should organize educational activities disseminate information these appropriate education level age group target farmers. Awareness raising dissemination lack hinders implementation agroforestry, example, campaigns training programs results will serve guide authority plan measures increase importance sector
