Towards an anthropology of acquisition: ‘How did you get that?’ Vers une anthropologie de l'acquisition : « Où as‐tu trouvé ça ? »

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 620-637, June 2026.
The production‐distribution‐consumption triad has structured how anthropologists understand exchange for roughly a century. This article argues for expanding this triad to include an explicit focus on acquisition – the systems, processes, and practices of acquiring.

Optimizing LID Practices in the Genoa Urban Drainage System Based on the Community's Call for Action Through Participatory Mapping

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel methodology for optimizing installation of low impact development practices (LIDs) in an urban hydrological catchment. This methodology helps stakeholders in deciding on what kind and area of LID must be installed in each sub‐catchment to attenuate pluvial flooding as a result of intense rain events.

A review of the uptake of sustainable climate‐smart aquaculture in sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract As climate change reshapes agriculture and food systems across the globe, aquaculture in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) is at a turning point. Sustainable climate‐smart aquaculture (SCSAq) aims to make fish farming more productive, resilient to climate change, and environmentally friendly while also improving livelihoods and nutrition.
