For decades, phytoremediation has been hailed as one of the most promising developing techniques for sustainable waste management. Despite certain shortcomings, proper implementation of this technique is the best alternative to the conventional waste management approach. Proper implementation of phytoremediation requires careful planning, following proper guidelines related to site assessment, plant selection, planting, maintenance, monitoring, harvesting and disposal, follow-up execution, and monitoring to ensure its effectiveness. In this study, it has been tried to create a foundation for an in-situ implementation of Phytoremediation in the mining areas of Asansol and Pandabeswar of West Bengal, India. Site conditions have been assessed in terms of pollution load and soil quality. Suitable sites have been identified using Geospatial techniques and following the guidelines found in different pieces of literature. Six variables i.e. pollution loads, soil quality, the proximity of pollution source, land use, and accessibility have been used to produce site suitability map. Active mining sites have been excluded from suitable sites. Site-specific suitable plants have been recommended which are either native or adaptable to current geophysical settings. The study identified certain villages e.g. Sonpur, Madanpur, Rashunpur, Dhasla, Joalbhanga, Bajari, Salanpur. Accessibility, water availability, and demographic parameters of those villages have been assessed. Finally, maintenance, monitoring, and implementation strategies have been discussed.

几十年来,植物修复技术一直被誉为最具发展前景的可持续废物管理技术之一。尽管存在一些不足,但适当实施这项技术是传统废物管理方法的最佳替代方案。植物修复技术的正确实施需要精心规划,遵循与场地评估、植物选择、种植、维护、监测、收获和处置、后续执行和监测有关的正确准则,以确保其有效性。本研究试图为在印度西孟加拉邦 Asansol 和 Pandabeswar 的采矿区就地实施植物修复奠定基础。根据污染负荷和土壤质量评估了现场条件。利用地理空间技术并根据不同文献中的指导原则确定了合适的地点。污染负荷、土壤质量、污染源距离、土地利用和交通便利程度等六个变量被用来绘制场地适宜性地图。正在开采的矿区已被排除在适宜地点之外。针对具体地点推荐了适合的植物,这些植物要么是本地植物,要么能适应当前的地球物理环境。研究确定了一些村庄,如 Sonpur、Madanpur、Rashunpur、Dhasla、Joalbhanga、Bajari 和 Salanpur。对这些村庄的交通便利性、供水情况和人口参数进行了评估。最后,还讨论了维护、监测和实施战略。

Greening and its drivers in the Loess Plateau of China have been extensively studied, but attributional explorations regarding vegetation restoration in different climatic zones remain unclear. This study quantitatively evaluated greening on the Loess Plateau based on Fraction Vegetation Cover (FVC) calculated by MOD13Q1 dataset, compared FVC in different climatic zones, and explored the relationship between greening and precipitation, evaporation, soil water content (SWC), surface water bodies, and human activities. The study found that FVC on the Loess Plateau increased significantly at a rate of 0.538% yr−1 from 2000 to 2020, resulting in 94% greening. The greening rate was higher in the middle temperate zones (0.557% yr−1) than in the southern temperate zones (0.532% yr−1), but its average FVC was lower. This suggests that the greening rate (0.551% yr−1) is higher within 5 km of water bodies. Cropland (15.26%), grassland (13.66%) and trees (12.57%) had higher FVC increment than other types, while the six-fold increase in urban area is a significant impediment to greening. Additionally, there is a significant positive correlation with FVC when the urban economy exceeds 100 billion. The interaction of natural factors and human activities made the greatest contribution to greening, as calculated by the GeoDetector. It is hypothesized that there is significant potential for greening in the middle temperate zones. However, large-scale tree planting may not have a catalytic effect and could even be counterproductive. To achieve sustainable greening of the Loess Plateau in the future, shrubs and artificial water storage facilities may be key.

中国黄土高原的绿化及其驱动因素已被广泛研究,但不同气候带植被恢复的归因探索仍不明确。本研究基于 MOD13Q1 数据集计算的植被覆盖度(FVC)对黄土高原绿化进行了定量评估,比较了不同气候带的植被覆盖度,并探讨了绿化与降水、蒸发、土壤含水量、地表水体和人类活动之间的关系。研究发现,从 2000 年到 2020 年,黄土高原的土壤全绿化率以每年 0.538% 的速度显著增加,绿化率达到 94%。中温带的绿化率(0.557% yr-1)高于南温带(0.532% yr-1),但其平均森林覆盖率较低。这表明,水体 5 公里范围内的绿化率(0.551% yr-1)较高。与其他类型相比,耕地(15.26%)、草地(13.66%)和林木(12.57%)的森林覆盖率增量较高,而城市面积增加了 6 倍是绿化的一个重要障碍。此外,当城市经济总量超过 1000 亿时,FVC 与城市经济总量呈显著正相关。根据 GeoDetector 的计算,自然因素和人类活动的相互作用对绿化的贡献最大。据此推测,中温带绿化潜力巨大。然而,大规模植树可能不会产生催化作用,甚至会适得其反。要在未来实现黄土高原的可持续绿化,灌木和人工蓄水设施可能是关键。

Technological drought is caused by a lack of irrigation technology and a poor water management system. Here we present and analyse the results of a large survey of farmers in Bangladesh, designed to reveal their experience of and attitudes to, as well as factors and challenges of technological drought management. Also, we analysed the impact of water sources and the role of irrigation development to mitigate the technological drought taking North Bengal of Bangladesh as a case study. To explore the nature and characteristics of technological drought, we have used both qualitative and quantitative data from the study area. We used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to find out the underlying dimensions and factor loadings of the technological drought using the field data. Moreover, we compared the relations and associations between socio-demographic, water source characteristics and technological drought perceptions. PCA results indicated seven underlying dimensions (challenges) out of thirty-one factors of technological drought related to river water management, irrigation technology, socio-economic conditions, land use, and electricity and fuel supply. The high population, lack of modern irrigation technology, upstream management problems, inefficiencies in the system, electricity connections, load shedding, and poor socio-economic conditions prevent people from getting the water they desperately need in the case study area. We also found a significant relationship between farmers’ socio-demographic and water source characteristics with technological drought perceptions. Although there has been increasing use of irrigation technology and improved water resource management in recent years, it is essential to highlight that there will likely be more challenges in the future if this trend continues.

技术性干旱是由于缺乏灌溉技术和水管理系统不完善造成的。在此,我们介绍并分析了对孟加拉国农民进行的一项大型调查的结果,旨在揭示他们对技术性干旱管理的经验、态度、因素和挑战。此外,我们还以孟加拉国北孟加拉省为例,分析了水源的影响和灌溉发展对缓解技术干旱的作用。为了探索技术干旱的性质和特点,我们使用了研究地区的定性和定量数据。我们使用主成分分析法(PCA),利用实地数据找出了技术干旱的基本维度和因子载荷。此外,我们还比较了社会人口特征、水源特征和技术干旱感知之间的关系和关联。PCA 结果表明,在技术干旱的 31 个因子中,有 7 个基本维度(挑战)与河水管理、灌溉技术、社会经济条件、土地利用以及电力和燃料供应有关。在案例研究地区,人口众多、缺乏现代灌溉技术、上游管理问题、系统效率低下、电力连接、减载以及恶劣的社会经济条件阻碍了人们获得急需的水。我们还发现,农民的社会人口特征和水源特征与技术干旱感知之间存在重要关系。尽管近年来灌溉技术的使用越来越多,水资源管理也得到了改善,但必须强调的是,如果这一趋势继续下去,未来可能会面临更多挑战。

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) are commonly grouped for service delivery planning, monitoring and policy, reflecting their many interconnecting impacts, but few studies articulate household-level WASH-solid waste interactions. We aim to assess mismanaged solid waste interactions with WASH that affect urban households and whether integrated waste-WASH indicators can be constructed to monitor these interactions. Via literature review, we identify three trade-offs and seven synergies between WASH and waste management for urban households. Trade-offs arise from consumption of water packaged in bottles or bags and disposable diapers (DDs), whilst synergies include opportunities for households with water services to wash separated waste or cloth diapers. One trade-off (packaged water consumption) has grown rapidly in southeast Asia and West Africa. Household surveys for Ghana and Kenya demonstrate that the urban population lacking waste collection services overlaps strongly with those lacking WASH services. In Kenya, 3.3 million people simultaneously lacked waste collection, hygiene, and basic sanitation services. Finally, we construct indicators from household survey micro-data to measure DD and packaged water consumption in households lacking waste services. Case studies show that from 2012–13 to 2016–17, packaged water consumption grew among Ghanaian households burning or dumping waste, whilst most urban Nigerian households consuming DD lack waste collection services. We conclude that household survey micro-data can be used to construct trade-off measures to inform policy and target services towards populations simultaneously exposed to uncollected waste and lacking WASH services. However, such analyses require an institutional mechanism to coordinate cross-goal monitoring and greater survey data harmonisation. In countries where large populations lack both waste collection and WASH services or with growing DD or packaged water consumption, balanced evidence is needed on DD and packaged water's impacts from both WASH and solid waste management perspectives.

水、环境卫生和个人卫生(WASH)通常被归类为服务提供规划、监测和政策,反映了它们之间许多相互关联的影响,但很少有研究阐明家庭层面的 WASH 与固体废物之间的相互作用。我们旨在评估固体废物与影响城市家庭的 "讲卫生运动 "之间管理不善的相互作用,以及是否可以构建 "废物-讲卫生运动 "综合指标来监测这些相互作用。通过文献回顾,我们确定了城市家庭在 "讲卫生运动 "和 "废物管理 "之间的三种权衡和七种协同作用。权衡产生于瓶装水或袋装水以及一次性尿布(DDs)的消费,而协同作用则包括为有供水服务的家庭提供清洗分类垃圾或布尿布的机会。在东南亚和西非,一种权衡方式(包装水消费)增长迅速。加纳和肯尼亚的住户调查显示,缺乏垃圾收集服务的城市人口与缺乏讲卫生运动服务的人口高度重叠。在肯尼亚,有 330 万人同时缺乏垃圾收集、个人卫生和基本卫生服务。最后,我们从家庭调查的微观数据中构建了指标,以衡量缺乏垃圾处理服务的家庭的消耗量和包装水消耗量。案例研究显示,从 2012-13 年到 2016-17 年,加纳焚烧或倾倒垃圾的家庭中的包装水消费量有所增长,而尼日利亚城市中大多数消费废水的家庭缺乏垃圾收集服务。我们的结论是,家庭调查微观数据可用于构建权衡措施,为政策提供依据,并为同时面临垃圾无人收集和缺乏讲卫生运动服务的人群提供有针对性的服务。然而,此类分析需要一个制度机制来协调跨目标监测,并加强调查数据的统一性。在一些国家,大量人口既缺乏废物收集服务,也缺乏讲卫生运动服务,或者残疾人士或包装水的消费量不断增加,因此需要从讲卫生运动和固体废物管理的角度平衡残疾人士和包装水的影响。

As the circular economy (CE) grows, it is necessary for companies to prepare for their transition from linear to circular, targeted to generate a positive business impact. Therefore, the aim of this study is threefold. First, to map what high impact research on circularity indicators and CE actions is reporting. Second, to point out challenges and opportunities in the application of circularity indicators. Third, to discuss implications for businesses wanting to generate positive impacts. To that end, a systematic literature review was carried out on the ScienceDirect, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Existing research on circularity indicators is based on either circularity measurement indices (0–100%) or circularity assessment tools, which are developed for one or more levels of application within micro, meso, and macro. The main challenges for establishing circularity indicators are linked to the lack of standardization on how to measure circularity and on providing clear guidance on how the indicator can and should be used. The main opportunities lie on bringing to life the concept of circularity through practical applications and reveling opportunities for internalizing flows. Internalizing flows can lead to a positive business impact and measuring circularity can be a tool for business management on top of bringing about circular-economy-related benefits.

随着循环经济(CE)的发展,企业有必要为从线性向循环过渡做好准备,以产生积极的商业影响为目标。因此,本研究有三个目的。首先,对有关循环指标和循环经济行动的高影响力研究报告进行梳理。第二,指出循环指标应用中的挑战和机遇。第三,讨论对希望产生积极影响的企业的影响。为此,我们在 ScienceDirect、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中进行了系统的文献综述。现有的循环性指标研究基于循环性测量指数(0-100%)或循环性评估工具,这些工具针对微观、中观和宏观的一个或多个应用层面而开发。制定循环性指标的主要挑战在于如何衡量循环性以及就如何和应该如何使用指标提供明确指导方面缺乏标准化。主要的机遇在于通过实际应用和内部化流动的机会,将循环性概念付诸实践。流动的内部化可以带来积极的商业影响,而衡量循环性除了带来与循环经济相关的益处之外,还可以成为商业管理的工具。

The introduction and expansion of large-scale modern irrigation technology is often justified on the grounds of agricultural productivity and, more recently, climate change adaptation. However, the impacts of its accompanying process of agricultural intensification are seldom analysed from a social-ecological lens. Here we explore the effects of a large-scale modern irrigation (LSMI) project on farming livelihoods in Navarre, Spain. We identify farmers’ main livelihood and land management strategies to show how they are affected by the adoption of LSMI technology. We show that the development of the LSMI project contributes to change farm management practices in ways that simplify cropping patterns while displacing some farmers towards drylands and forcing others to sell their arable lands. Furthermore, we suggest that the LSMI project adopters may become more sensitive to climate change in the long term. In light of these findings, we argue that LSMI projects, and irrigation policy more broadly, may be inadvertently eroding traditional and less intensive small-scale farming while contributing to land accumulation by large-scale and pro-intensification farmers. These processes may be sowing the seeds of future rural vulnerabilities under accelerating climate change.

引入和扩大大规模现代灌溉技术的理由通常是为了提高农业生产率,最近则是为了适应气候变化。然而,人们很少从社会生态学的角度分析与之相伴的农业集约化进程的影响。在此,我们探讨了大规模现代灌溉(LSMI)项目对西班牙纳瓦拉地区农业生计的影响。我们确定了农民的主要生计和土地管理策略,以说明他们如何受到 LSMI 技术的影响。我们的研究表明,LSMI 项目的发展有助于改变农业管理方式,简化种植模式,同时将一些农民赶往旱地,迫使另一些农民出售耕地。此外,我们还发现,从长远来看,LSMI 项目的采用者可能会对气候变化更加敏感。鉴于这些发现,我们认为,LSMI 项目以及更广泛的灌溉政策可能在无意中侵蚀了传统的、集约程度较低的小规模耕作,同时助长了大规模和支持集约化的农民的土地积累。在气候变化加速的情况下,这些过程可能会为未来农村的脆弱性埋下种子。

In light of these findings, we argue that LSMI projects, and irrigation policy more broadly, may be inadvertently eroding traditional and less intensive small-scale farming while contributing to land accumulation by large-scale and pro-intensification farmers.

Solid waste management is a pressing global issue, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals 11 and 12. Despite increasing awareness, the annual rise in waste generation is expected to persist for decades. Efficient waste management is crucial for channeling valuable resources into circular economy flows while safeguarding health and the environment. While best practices are informative, localized actions tailored to specific contexts are essential. This study proposes a thematic framework, grounded in techno-policy, to prioritize actions for achieving sustainable solid waste management (SSWM) in Qatar, with potential applicability to other countries. The prioritized recommendations include enhancing research and policy coordination, harnessing value from waste, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and promoting awareness campaigns. The study underscores the significance of private sector training, plastic recycling, and addressing the impact of mega-events on waste management. It identifies key stakeholders, such as researchers, businesses, government, and the community, emphasizing their roles in implementing effective waste management strategies. Challenges, however, arise from the absence of comprehensive and up-to-date open data, hindering a full understanding of recent developments and identification of priority areas for future research. In summary, this study introduces a novel techno-policy-driven framework for prioritizing SSWM actions, emphasizing the need for targeted efforts in diverse contexts to address the escalating global waste challenge.

固体废物管理是一个紧迫的全球性问题,与可持续发展目标 11 和 12 相符。尽管人们的意识不断提高,但预计每年产生的废物量仍将持续数十年。高效的废物管理对于将宝贵的资源引入循环经济流程,同时保护健康和环境至关重要。虽然最佳做法具有参考价值,但针对具体情况的本地化行动也至关重要。本研究提出了一个以技术政策为基础的专题框架,以确定在卡塔尔实现可持续固体废物管理(SSWM)的优先行动,并可能适用于其他国家。优先建议包括加强研究和政策协调、从废物中获取价值、促进跨学科合作以及推动宣传活动。研究强调了私营部门培训、塑料回收以及应对大型活动对废物管理的影响的重要性。研究确定了研究人员、企业、政府和社区等主要利益相关方,强调了他们在实施有效的废物管理战略中的作用。然而,由于缺乏全面、最新的开放数据,阻碍了对最新发展情况的全面了解,也无法确定未来研究的优先领域,从而带来了挑战。总之,本研究引入了一个新颖的技术政策驱动框架,用于确定 SSWM 行动的优先次序,强调需要在不同背景下开展有针对性的工作,以应对不断升级的全球废物挑战。

This paper uses field survey data to examine farm and non-farm income to reduce income inequality among tribal households in Sylhet district, Bangladesh. It uses a decomposition method and a regression-based decomposition method to measure income and expenditure inequality by source of income as well as by household and family characteristics. For this, non-farm income was considered as an external transfer of total income to decompose the Gini index and as a potential substitute for farm income, taking into account household preferences. The results indicate that income differences exist between farm and non-farm income, thereby increasing income inequality. The endowment effect on household characteristics was positive and significant, directly supporting the increase in non-farm income per capita daily household expenditure. On the other hand, in terms of its components, non-farm self-employment income reduces income inequality, while non-farm wage income increases income inequality. At the 50th quantile results, an additional year of age of the household head increases the per capita expenditure of farm and non-farm households by BDT 300 to BDT 400, respectively. Moreover, the education of household heads also positively and significantly affects the per capita expenditure of non-farm households. As estimated by the 50th quantile, farm and non-farm households with graduation had higher per capita daily expenditure than household heads with primary education. Raising household education level and total farm household income to a better level, adopting farm-income enhancement programs, and enacting policies to increase alternative income opportunities that will shift income from non-agricultural to agricultural tribal households, reduce income inequality, and bring about the well-being of tribal society.

本文利用实地调查数据研究了农业和非农业收入,以减少孟加拉国锡尔赫特地区部落家庭的收入不平等现象。它采用分解法和基于回归的分解法,按收入来源以及家庭和家族特征来衡量收入和支出的不平等。为此,考虑到家庭偏好,将非农业收入视为总收入的外部转移,以分解基尼指数,并将其视为农业收入的潜在替代品。结果表明,农业收入和非农业收入之间存在收入差异,从而加剧了收入不平等。家庭特征的禀赋效应为正且显著,直接支持了非农收入人均家庭日常支出的增加。另一方面,从构成要素来看,非农自营收入减少了收入不平等,而非农工资收入则增加了收入不平等。在 50 分位数结果中,户主年龄每增加一岁,农户和非农户的人均支出就会分别增加 300 第纳尔和 400 第纳尔。此外,户主的教育程度也会对非农户的人均支出产生积极而显著的影响。根据第 50 分位数估算,毕业的农户和非农户的人均日支出要高于只受过小学教育的户主。将家庭教育水平和农户总收入提高到一个较好的水平,采取提高农户收入的方案,制定增加替代收入机会的政策,这将使部落农户的收入从非农业家庭转移到农业家庭,减少收入不平等,为部落社会带来福祉。

Sustainable soil management methods that consider farmers' needs and soil conservation, require the integration of scientific knowledge and farming practices. Therefore, this study has asked a. How do farmers perceive fertility indicators in relation to their management in agriculture? b. What strategies do small farmers implement to maintain soil health on their farmland? c. Are there correlations between scientific findings and farmers' perceptions of soil management indicators and practices in the Ecuadorian Amazon? A total of 287 surveys were applied with 35 questions that covered the general data of the respondent, visible indicators of soil fertility, soil management and conservation practices, as well as knowledge acquisition. The soil scientific data were obtained from the map made by the MAG and FAO (2018) of the locations where the surveys were conducted. The results show that farmers have an in-depth knowledge with respect to soil fertility, identifying several visible indicators, including some plants that indicate productive soils, while utilizing various practices that degrade the soil and others that contribute to soil conservation at the local level. Although the indicators used by the farmers were mainly based on observation, in many respects they coincided with scientific assessments of fertile or infertile soils. These farmers, with their vast practical experience and knowledge accumulated over generations, developed a deep understanding of the telltale signs of soil fertility. There is not always concordance between the two forms of knowledge, however, the synergy between traditional and scientific knowledge illustrates the importance of integrating different forms of knowledge for effective and sustainable land management.

考虑到农民需求和土壤保护的可持续土壤管理方法需要将科学知识与农业实践相结合。因此,本研究提出了以下问题:a. 农民如何看待与农业管理相关的肥力指标? b. 小农户实施哪些策略来保持农田土壤健康? c. 科学发现与农民对厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区土壤管理指标和实践的看法之间是否存在关联?共进行了 287 次调查,提出了 35 个问题,涉及受访者的一般数据、土壤肥力的可见指标、土壤管理和保护措施以及知识获取。土壤科学数据来自农业咨询小组和粮农组织(2018 年)绘制的调查地点地图。结果表明,农民对土壤肥力有深入的了解,确定了几个可见的指标,包括一些表明土壤富饶的植物,同时采用了各种使土壤退化的做法和其他有助于当地土壤保持的做法。尽管农民们使用的指标主要基于观察,但在许多方面,它们与对肥沃或贫瘠土壤的科学评估不谋而合。这些农民世世代代积累了丰富的实践经验和知识,对土壤肥力的蛛丝马迹有着深刻的理解。这两种形式的知识并不总是一致的,但是,传统知识和科学知识之间的协同作用说明了整合不同形式的知识对于有效和可持续土地管理的重要性。

Over the years, numerous studies have identified factors influencing farmers’ adaptive behaviour in India, however, there is a dearth of studies with respect to determinants like institutions, incentives, and information. This study, therefore, aims to fill this gap by assessing role of these factors in driving climate-smart agriculture practices. In total, 1274 farmers were surveyed from the 11 disaster-prone districts of four coastal states, namely, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Maharashtra. From the survey, it is observed that farmers are adopting seven non-mutually exclusive options, and thus, a multivariate probit model is employed. Our findings are: (i) more than 90 percent of the farmers adopt at least one option, and the most preferred measures are shifting of the crops, disaster-resilient crops, water management, and soil management options; (ii) in line with previous studies, the major determinants under household characteristics are livelihood diversification, and assets and amenities; (iii) access to soil health card is observed as the crucial factor for uptake of various options; (iv) none of the variables under institutions and incentives, and information, except for access to agro-met advisory services, are viewed as a major cause for adoption of all climate-smart agriculture options, but the mixed causal association is noticed for some of the measures. Concerning policy implications, this study advocates diversification of income sources, scaling up programs related to soil health card and agro-met advisory services, and restructuring existing institutions, developmental interventions, incentive mechanisms, and communication channels. It is essential since the support of policies and institutions are needed for the diffusion of agricultural innovations.

多年来,许多研究都指出了影响印度农民适应性行为的因素,但有关制度、激励措施和信息等决定因素的研究却十分匮乏。因此,本研究旨在通过评估这些因素在推动气候智能型农业实践中的作用来填补这一空白。本研究共调查了安得拉邦、泰米尔纳德邦、喀拉拉邦和马哈拉施特拉邦四个沿海邦 11 个易受灾地区的 1274 名农民。调查发现,农民采用了七种互不排斥的选择,因此采用了多元概率模型。我们的研究结果如下(i) 90% 以上的农民至少采用了一种方案,而最受欢迎的措施是转移作物、抗灾作物、水管理和土壤管理方案;(ii) 与以往的研究一致,家庭特征下的主要决定因素是生计多样化以及资产和便利设施;(iii) 获得土壤健康卡被视为采用各种方案的关键因素;(iv) 除获得农业气象咨询服务外,机构和激励措施以及信息项下的变量均未被视为采用所有气候智能型农业方案的主要原因,但注意到某些措施存在混合因果关系。关于政策影响,本研究提倡收入来源多样化,扩大与土壤健康卡和农业气象咨询服务相关的项目规模,重组现有机构、发展干预措施、激励机制和沟通渠道。这一点至关重要,因为农业创新的推广需要政策和机构的支持。
