This paper investigates the associations between agricultural diversification and dietary diversity among men, women and children of farm households in Bangladesh.
Mongolia’s projected warming is far above the global average and could exceed 5 °C by the end of the century.
Valuing ecosystem services provided by land commons in India: Implications for research and policy
Home to one-quarter of humanity—one-fifth of whom are youth—South Asia has the world’s largest concentration of poverty and malnutrition (1–3).
Globally, the commons provide important ecosystem functions and services and contribute towards sustainable development and human population.
A novel seasonal-spatial integrated model for improving the economic-environmental performance of crop production
Excess agricultural nitrogen, mainly from manure and chemical fertilizers, is a primary source of nutrient pollution and presents serious environmental threats to natural ecosystems and human health.
Agroecologically-conducive policies A review of recent advances and remaining challenges
Even before the current global COVID-19 health crisis — whose potential long-term impacts on food systems are still unclear (Béné et al.
On the role of water resources management to transform water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary river basins
The program NEXUS Gains addresses key challenges of transforming water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary bread-basket basins in East and Southern Africa (Blue Nile and Limpopo basins), Central (Aral Sea basin) and South A
UNFSS Science Days Side Event: Promise of the commons for sustainable and equitable food systems
The UNFSS Dialogue on Women, Work and Food Systems identified a game-changing solution on management of commons: natural resources that are held and used collectively.
Despite resulting biodiversity losses, agricultural intensification is key for future food security and slowing expansion of cropland and pasture.
It is widely recognized that local management of common pool resources can be more ecient and more e↵ective than private markets or top- own government management, especially in remote rural communities in which the institutions necessary for the
Experimental Games for Strengthening Collective Action? Learning from Field Experiments in India
Groundwater is a common pool resource which experiences depletion in many places around the world. The increased use of irrigation and water demanding cash crops stimulate this development.
The data in this study were collected to assess preferences with respect to drip irrigation systems, which was promoted under Punjab Irrigated-Agriculture Productivity Improvement Project (PIPIP) in Pakistan.
Multi-objective land use allocation modelling for prioritizing climate-smart agricultural interventions
The Climate Smart Agricultural Prioritization (CSAP) toolkit that assists stakeholders in implementation of appropriate strategic interventions to transform agriculture ecosystems to climate-resilient, adaptive & efficient.
Uncovering the economic value of natural enemies and true costs of chemical insecticides to cotton farmers in China
Using natural areas and empowering women to buffer food security and nutrition from climate shocks: Evidence from Ghana, Zambia, and Bangladesh
As climate change makes precipitation shocks more common, policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in protecting food systems and nutrition outcomes from the damaging effects of droughts and floods (Wheeler and von Braun, 2013).
In this research highlight, we present analysis of agricultural land use, distribution, access, tenure, land markets, and historical patterns of ownership and disposal.
