Impacts of conflict and unfavourable household locations in a heterogeneous environment on local food insecurity in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Unfavourable evolutions in the conflict-affected neighbouring areas of Kurdistan have a negative impact on household food security within the broader context of global food crises and protracted conflicts. This, in turn, is contributing to the exacerbation and geographical spread of conflict through conflict–food insecurity feedback loops. The primary objective of this study was to examine local variations in food security from a micro-level, hou…
From Knowledge to Practice
Smallholder farmers in coastal Cameroon face accelerating soil degradation and climate variability. However, the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) remains uneven. This study examines how information behavior and motivational objectives shape SAP adoption in the Tiko municipality using a cross‐sectional survey of 122 household heads and a multivariate logistic framework. Adoption rates are high for inorganic fertilizers (69.7%)…
Youth Entrepreneurship, Credit Access and Post‐Disaster Business Recovery
This study investigates how access to finance (credit access) influences business recovery and entrepreneurial performance among youth‐led informal food enterprises in Ghana, with implications for financial inclusion, entrepreneurial ability and post‐crisis business resilience in developing economies. Using cross‐sectional data from 136 enterprises across three regions, we apply a probit model to identify determinants of youth entrepreneurs’ acce…
Climate change, rural out-migration, and food security nexus in Nepal
Climate change affects the livelihood and food security of Nepalese smallholder farmers. Rural out-migration has increased remarkably, rising to 4.35 persons per 1000 inhabitants in 2022, potentially impacting agricultural production in the country. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyse the nexus among climate change, migration, and food security. We aimed to identify the factors influencing rural-out migration, including climate …
Conflict and migration as drivers of farmland abandonment in Cameroon
Farmland is vital for food security, livelihoods, and rural stability, yet it is increasingly threatened by the combined pressures of environmental stress, climate change, and armed conflict. While farmland abandonment is widely recognized as a major land use change process, little is known about how conflict-driven migration interacts with labour shortages and environmental stressors to reshape agrarian systems in conflict-affected regions. This…
Health and livelihood impacts of flood hazards on internally displaced persons in Pakistan
Community and Institutional Drivers of Deforestation, Environmental Impacts, and Extension Interventions for Forest Management in the Hindu Kush Himalaya
Deforestation in Pakistan's mountainous regions, particularly in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), presents significant environmental, social, and economic challenges. Despite various control measures, deforestation persists due to institutional weaknesses and community pressures. This paper explores the institutional and community drivers of deforestation, its environmental impacts, and extension interventions. Focus group discussions (FGDs) with c…

Climate change adaptation among smallholder poultry farmers in the northeast of Nigeria
Climate change poses a significant threat to global food security, with smallholder poultry farmers particularly vulnerable due to their limited adaptive capacity. This study empirically examines the socio-ecological drivers and information sources shaping climate change adaptation strategies among 240 smallholder poultry farmers in Northern Nigeria, using a multistage sampling technique and multivariate probit model. Findings indicate that farme…
Food security and sustainability through adaptation to climate change
Empowering young farmers' voices in climate change extension programs
Disaster risk reduction education (DRRE) in elementary education of Pakistan
Farmland Degradation in the Czech Republic
In line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.3, which aims to restore degraded land and soil, and the priorities of the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) to mitigate environmental issues caused by intensive agriculture, understanding the factors influencing farmers' adoption of soil conservation practices (SCPs) is crucial. However, there is still a limited understanding of these specific factors, particularly in the context of the Czech Repu…
Factors influencing farm succession decisions
In Colombia and other South American countries, government programs have been implemented to improve the livelihoods of coffee farmers. However, the rate of farm succession remains low and the age of farmers continues to increase. Household surveys and focus group discussions were conducted in the community of Chaparral, Tolima Department, Colombia, to examine the socio-economic and institutional factors that influence family farm succession in t…
Climate change and rural livelihoods
Agricultural extension programs promote regenerative land management practices by increasing farmers' awareness of land use, climate risks, and adoption of adaptation practices for sustainable livelihoods. This study focuses on the perceptions of communities that participate in extension programs and those that do not, regarding climate change risks and livelihood sustainability in Pakistan's Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region. The findings indica…
Sustainable Culinary Conservation
Food waste presents a significant challenge to sustainable development, with fast‐food enterprises playing a major role in this issue. This study explores the complexities of food waste management among fast‐food vendors in Ghana's Ashanti region, providing insights into the quantity, determinants, mitigation strategies, and economic impacts of food waste. Using a mixed‐method approach that includes food waste audits and surveys, we estimated the…

Building resilience to climate change
Nepal is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, which is negatively affecting agricultural production and food security. However, the role of agro‐ecological zones and social groups in climate change adaptation (CCA) and its impact on smallholder farmers in Nepal remains unexplored. To fill this gap, this study aimed to identify the effect of agro‐ecological zones and social groups on smallholder farmers' adaptation to climate ch…
