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。

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。

The core of this paper is an evaluation of the willingness to pay for non-use values of the ecosystem services related to the Banc d'Arguin National Park in Mauritania. This coastal protected area, the largest in Africa, has existed for more than forty years and plays a major role in the conservation of biodiversity. We use contingent valuation to estimate the willingness to pay by Mauritanian populations for the protection of biodiversity in the park. Results show that the non-use value accounts for 12–29% of the total economic value attributed to the park's ecosystem services. Interestingly, a correlation exists between the familiarity with the park and the living conditions of people interviewed and their willingness to pay: rural and distant populations have a lower willingness to pay than closer or urban population. The results also highlight that the protection of biodiversity is compatible with the maintenance of the Imraguen way of life since their fishing practices are based on traditional sustainable catch techniques.

本文的核心内容是对与毛里塔尼亚班克达尔金国家公园相关的生态系统服务的非使用价值的支付意愿进行评估。该沿海保护区是非洲最大的保护区,已存在四十多年,在保护生物多样性方面发挥着重要作用。我们使用或有估值来估算毛里塔尼亚居民为保护公园内生物多样性的支付意愿。结果显示,非使用价值占公园生态系统服务总经济价值的 12-29%。有趣的是,受访者对公园的熟悉程度和生活条件与他们的支付意愿之间存在相关性:农村和偏远地区人口的支付意愿低于近郊或城市人口。调查结果还突出表明,保护生物多样性与保持伊姆拉根人的生活方式是一致的,因为他们的捕鱼方式是以传统的可持续捕捞技术为基础的。

Among different possibilities to mitigate climate change, the utilisation of carbon sinks has rendered increased interest with the emergence of net-zero targets. In Sweden, despite large forest resources, the product category wood-based panels has turned from being a carbon sink to an emission source. Production data and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) accounting approach has been used in this paper to construct the pool of biogenic carbon sequestered in wood-based panels. We used indices to compare this development and found that it is unparalleled in other countries. We show that it is possible to achieve an increased carbon sink in harvested wood products in Sweden and argue that all options producing real and quantifiable carbon sinks should be given opportunities in the regulatory frameworks for climate change mitigation. We conclude that the increased importance of carbon sinks to mitigate climate change justifies a critical discussion of bioenergy policy in Sweden and the rest of Europe. Additionally, we suggest a policy direction that will promote the cascading use of by-products for wood-based panels without proposing a mandated hierarchy of biomass use.

在减缓气候变化的各种可能性中,随着净零目标的出现,碳汇的利用越来越受到关注。在瑞典,尽管森林资源丰富,但人造板这一产品类别却从碳汇变成了排放源。本文利用生产数据和政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)的核算方法来构建人造板中的生物碳固存库。我们使用指数对这一发展进行了比较,发现它在其他国家是无与伦比的。我们的研究表明,在瑞典有可能在伐木制品中增加碳汇,并认为在减缓气候变化的监管框架中,所有能产生真实、可量化碳汇的方案都应给予机会。我们的结论是,碳汇对减缓气候变化的重要性日益增加,因此有理由对瑞典和欧洲其他国家的生物能源政策进行批判性讨论。此外,我们还提出了一个政策方向,即在不对生物质的使用进行强制分级的前提下,促进人造板副产品的梯级利用。

The vast majority of peatlands in Southeast Asia are located in Indonesia. They are currently classified as degraded and at risk of fire. Fire prevention and the restoration of degraded peatlands have therefore been part of the national government's agenda for the last two presidential terms. With the immense pressure of anthropogenic challenges, interventions to restore degraded peatlands and prevent fire combine biophysical and socioeconomic considerations. This paper explores the implementation of community-focused interventions and participatory processes in fire prevention, peatland restoration and sustainable livelihood improvement in Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. We used Participatory Action Research (PAR) and an Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework to foster an on-the-ground and inclusive process for behavioral changes that result in not using fire in agricultural land preparation and to advance awareness of and participation in restoring degraded peatlands. Our findings reveal that PAR, with an IAD framing, can catalyze change. Four critical aspects are required for this: (a) demand for the intervention; (b) adequate political support; (c) community participation, leadership, social capital and local institutions; and (d) business models for sustainable livelihood transitions. This paper provides lessons on scientifically driven and evidence-based participatory processes for restoration.

东南亚的泥炭地绝大多数位于印度尼西亚。这些泥炭地目前被归类为退化泥炭地,面临火灾风险。因此,在过去两届总统任期内,防火和恢复退化泥炭地一直是国家政府议程的一部分。在人为挑战的巨大压力下,恢复退化泥炭地和预防火灾的干预措施结合了生物物理和社会经济因素。本文探讨了廖内省本卡利斯地区在防火、泥炭地恢复和可持续生计改善方面实施以社区为重点的干预措施和参与过程。我们采用了参与式行动研究(PAR)和制度分析与发展(IAD)框架,以促进实地和包容性的行为改变过程,从而避免在农田整理中使用火,并提高人们对退化泥炭地恢复的认识和参与。我们的研究结果表明,采用综合农业发展框架的 PAR 可以促进变革。这需要四个关键方面:(a) 对干预措施的需求;(b) 充分的政治支持;(c) 社区参与、领导力、社会资本和地方机构;(d) 可持续生计转型的商业模式。本文件为科学驱动和循证的参与式恢复进程提供了经验。

Land use planning and climate change adaptation are critical for ensuring sustainable development and resilience in river-dependent communities in Nigeria. This study examines land use planning and climate adaptation in river-dependent communities in the Lower Niger River region of Nigeria. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach. Data for the study were gathered from 198 households through surveys, complemented by 17 qualitative interviews and remote sensing techniques to assess land use changes and community perceptions. Findings reveal a notable trend where poor farmers face heightened vulnerability to climate change due to financial constraints, hindering their adoption of adaptive land use strategies. Specifically, more than half of the sampled households possess individual land for agricultural purposes yet lack the resources to effectively mitigate climate-related risks. Among the studied communities, Odekpe emerged as particularly vulnerable, with a prevalence of vulnerability at 32.3% and higher exposure to flood-prone zones.

The quantitative analysis delineates community engagement in land management practices, showcasing proactive resource allocation and conflict resolution efforts among over 60% of participants. However, a significant portion (57.6%) lacked awareness of hydrological changes, potentially impeding effective land use planning and adaptation measures.

Further analysis through remote sensing and mapping techniques revealed shifts in land use land cover, highlighting a transition from predominantly vegetated areas to built-up regions over the past three decades. The flood vulnerability assessment maps underscored substantial vulnerability across the Lower Niger basin, especially in downstream regions, indicating heightened risks due to proximity to the Niger River and heavy rainfall.

Qualitative insights from stakeholder interviews identified challenges impeding effective land use planning, including uncertain climate projections, insufficient data, institutional capacity constraints, and conflicting priorities. Additionally, participants emphasized the need for resilient land use decisions to address urbanization impacts, altered drainage patterns, and diminishing green spaces. The study recommends several key actions to enhance the effectiveness of land use planning and climate adaptation in the Lower Niger River region. These include the imperative to strengthen institutional capacities, improve stakeholder engagement processes, integrate traditional knowledge and practices into planning efforts, fortify legal frameworks governing land use, and prioritize the promotion of sustainable livelihoods among local communities.

土地利用规划和气候变化适应对于确保尼日利亚依赖河流的社区的可持续发展和恢复能力至关重要。本研究探讨了尼日利亚尼日尔河下游地区以河流为生的社区的土地利用规划和气候适应问题。研究采用了混合方法。研究数据通过调查从 198 个家庭收集,并辅以 17 次定性访谈和遥感技术,以评估土地利用变化和社区看法。研究结果显示了一个明显的趋势,即贫困农民由于经济拮据而更容易受到气候变化的影响,这阻碍了他们采用适应性土地利用战略。具体而言,一半以上的抽样家庭拥有用于农业目的的个人土地,但却缺乏有效缓解气候相关风险的资源。在所研究的社区中,奥德克佩(Odekpe)的脆弱性尤为突出,其脆弱性的普遍程度为 32.3%,且更容易遭受洪水侵袭。定量分析显示,社区参与了土地管理实践,60% 以上的参与者积极主动地分配资源和解决冲突。通过遥感和制图技术进行的进一步分析表明,在过去的三十年中,土地利用的土地覆被发生了变化,从以植被为主的地区过渡到了建筑密集的地区。洪水脆弱性评估地图强调了整个尼日尔河下游流域的严重脆弱性,尤其是在下游地区,表明由于靠近尼日尔河和暴雨,风险加剧。利益相关者访谈中的定性见解指出了阻碍有效土地利用规划的挑战,包括不确定的气候预测、数据不足、机构能力限制以及相互冲突的优先事项。此外,参与者还强调,需要做出有弹性的土地利用决策,以应对城市化的影响、排水模式的改变以及绿地的减少。研究建议采取几项关键行动,以提高尼日尔河下游地区土地利用规划和气候适应的有效性。其中包括必须加强机构能力、改善利益相关者的参与过程、将传统知识和实践纳入规划工作、加强有关土地使用的法律框架,以及优先促进当地社区的可持续生计。

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) on which there is high reliance by the local population are often highly threatened. Hence, the current study was carried out to assess the local governance of vulnerable NTFPs and to find prospective strategies for enhancing local governance using Garcinia kola Heckel, a Vulnerable NTFP highly solicited by local communities for their livelihoods in Eastern Cameroon. Focus group discussions were used to collect data in 14 villages adjacent to Belabo-Diang Communal Forest on the major constraints of local governance, and prospects for enhancing local governance to guarantee the conservation and sustainable management of G. kola through a key stakeholders engagement workshop. Synthesis and analysis of the data identified twelve major constraints of the local governance of G. kola. The study also revealed the low power of local authorities over the regulation of the resource rights and its sustainable use, and the laxity and poor participation of different stakeholders in the management of G. kola. The most feasible local governance strategies identified that can enhance the conservation and sustainable use of G. kola were: sensitization on its threats and need to conserve; build capacity of council forest managers and local people on sustainable harvesting practices and planting techniques; the use of incentives to promote regeneration and private plantation and ownership; value chain organisation and the enforcement of the customary regulations. The study concludes that for enhanced local governance to play a vital role in the conservation and sustainable use of vulnerable NTFPs, all key stakeholders need to play their respective roles in a collaborative and responsible manner within the confines of good policies and pragmatic institutional arrangements.

当地居民高度依赖的非木材森林产品(NTFP)往往受到严重威胁。因此,本研究对脆弱的非木材森林产品的地方治理情况进行了评估,并利用喀麦隆东部当地社区高度依赖的脆弱的非木材森林产品--Garcinia kola Heckel,寻找加强地方治理的前瞻性战略。在贝拉博-迪昂公有森林附近的 14 个村庄开展了焦点小组讨论,以收集有关地方治理的主要制约因素的数据,并通过主要利益相关者参与研讨会,了解加强地方治理以确保古柯树保护和可持续管理的前景。对数据的综合和分析确定了戈拉科拉在地方治理方面的十二个主要制约因素。研究还揭示了地方当局对资源权利及其可持续利用的管理权限较低,以及不同利益相关者对哥拉树管理的松懈和参与度较低。已确定的最可行的地方治理战略是:提高人们对哥拉树的威胁和保护必要性的认识;提高理事会森林管理人员和当地人在可持续采伐实践和种植技术方面的能力;使用激励措施促进再生和私人种植及所有权;价值链组织和执行习惯法规。研究得出结论,要使强化的地方治理在保护和可持续利用脆弱的非物质文化遗产方面发挥重要作用,所有主要利益相关者都需要在良好政策和务实的制度安排范围内,以协作和负责任的方式发挥各自的作用。
