Is irrigation fit for purpose? A review of the relationships between scheme size and performance of irrigation systems
Irrigation is increasingly being called upon to help stabilize and grow food and water security in the face of multiple crises; these crises include climate change, but also recent global food and energy price crises, including the 2007/08 food an
The achievement of several sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Agreement depends on rapid progress towards sustainable food and land systems in all countries.
Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) may play an important role in lowering the economic costs of greenhouse gas mitigation and in overcoming political-economy constraints on use of carbon taxes or equivalent |
About 1.5 billion people, most of the world’s poor, live on small farms in developing countries.
Migration is a recurrent, complex, and multidimensional phenomenon driven by a broad set of factors.
The world is not on track to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The prevalence of hunger and poverty—the two core goals which are the litmus test for everything else—are on the rise.
Assessing residue and tillage management options for carbon sequestration in future climate change scenarios
Soil carbon depletion is a major concern for food security in drylands.
Temperature and low-stakes cognitive performance
This paper offers one of the first evidence in a developing country context that transitory exposure to high temperatures may disrupt low-stakes cognitive activities across a range of age cohorts.
Blue foods, sourced in aquatic environments, are important for the economies, livelihoods, nutritional security and cultures of people in many nations.
Developing country food supply chains have been pummeled by a series (and often a confluence) of shocks over the past several decades, including the Russia-Ukraine war, COVID-19, climate shocks from hurricanes to floods to droughts, animal and pla
Water for food systems and nutrition
Access to sufficient and clean freshwater is essential for all life. Water is also essential for the functioning of food systems: as a key input into food production, but also in processing and preparation, and as a food itself.
Advance equitable livelihoods
Food system transformation provides the opportunity to shift current trends in all forms of malnutrition, prioritizing the availability and affordability of nutritious food for all – from shifting priorities in agricultural production, to improved
Institutional and policy process for climate-smart agriculture: Evidence from Nagaland State, India
A critical global policy question is how the environmental management interventions could be repurposed to meet the sustainable development goals and their target for food security, climate protection, and environmental sustainability.
Factors associated with farmers’ use of indigenous and scientific climate forecasts in Rwenzori region, Western Uganda
Although scientific climate forecast (SF) distribution by national climate services has improved over time, farmers seem not to make good use of climate forecasts, a likely contributing factor to vulnerability to climate change.
The nexus between trade, climate change, and nutrition is important in the conversation of sustainable diets.
Price predictors in an extended hedonic regression framework: An application to wholesale cattle markets in Ethiopia
Livestock markets influence income generation for producers, but also accessibility and affordability of highly nutritious animal-sourced foods for consumers.
India has committed to reducing the emissions intensity of GDP by 33–35% from the 2005 level by 2030 in alignment with objectives of the Paris Agreement.
