Expansion of the Brazilian Sugarcane Bioenergy System Promotes Greenhouse Emission Reductions and Sustainable Development Without Compromising Food Security

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing global demand for biofuels has raised concern about compromising food security. This study uses two independent economy‐wide models to evaluate the impact of expanding the Brazilian sugarcane bioenergy system on economic growth, social outcomes and food security.

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

Almond response to irrigation: Deficit irrigation and water production function

, 2018
Introduction Almond is becoming a very extended tree crop in Spain, due to good prices in the last years and likewise good market perspectives. A fast intensification process is taking place; new plantations (of which the acreage has doubled from 2014 to 2016) have nothing to do with the traditionally marginal rainfed crop producing around 150 kg/ha ...

Climate‐Resilient Agri‐Food Systems (CRAFS): A Review of Approaches and Outcomes of Agri‐Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly destabilizing agri‐food systems globally, with complex disruptions extending across production, distribution, and consumption. In response, climate‐resilient agri‐food system (CRAFS) approaches have gained prominence as a means to sustain food security under escalating climatic stressors.

Living Through a Changing Climate: Stress, Trauma, and Gendered Resilience Among Women in Coastal and Northern Ghana

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping everyday life in Ghana through coastal erosion, flooding, erratic rainfall, water scarcity, extreme heat, and agricultural insecurity. This study examines how these changes produce stress, trauma, and gendered resilience among women in Salakope and Choggu Yapalsi, two climate‐vulnerable communities in coastal and ...

Bridging Efficiency Gaps in Rice Production: A Primal System Analysis of Technical and Allocative Constraints in Bangladesh

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Declining natural resources, rising production costs, and diminishing returns from input‐intensive practices threaten the sustainability of smallholder rice systems in Bangladesh. Using a primal system approach and survey data from 1869 rice‐producing households, this study evaluates technical and allocative inefficiency across major agro ...
