Fragmented urban food governance and impacts on the marginalisation of indigenous crops in Ghana
Wetland socio-ecological systems
Globally, livelihood resilience is critical to social-ecological system (SES) sustainability. Wetlands in Uttar Pradesh (UP), India, support livelihoods of subsistence farmers through fishing, rice cultivation and harvesting wetland resources. However, climate change and other environmental and social stressors threaten their resilience. Efforts are needed to support wetland SES. Currently there are limited tools to measure and empirically test t…
Forest cover and land use change trajectories within gazetted forest reserves in Nasarawa State, North Central Nigeria (1966–2020)
The rapid losses of Protected Areas (PAs) and forest reserves has led to negative environmental, social, and economic impacts globally. This study examines land use and land cover change (LULCC) in Nasarawa State, North Central Nigeria, focusing on the timing and patterns of change in three gazetted forest reserves since 1966. Systematic and purposive techniques were used to select three forest reserves for the study, one in each of the state's g…
Understanding community perceptions of the importance of ecosystem services from gazetted forests
The potential for Redd+ to reduce forest degradation in Vietnam
Natural forests in Vietnam have experienced rapid declines in the last 70 years, as a result of degradation from logging and conversion of natural forests to timber and rubber plantations. Degradation of natural forests leads to loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, impacting the livelihoods of surrounding communities. Efforts to address ongoing loss of natural forests, through mechanisms such as Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and De…
Farming systems and Conservation Agriculture
Conservation Agriculture (CA) is advocated as an agricultural innovation that will improve smallholder famer resilience to future climate change. Under the conditions presented by the El Niño event of 2015/16, the implementation of CA was examined in southern Malawi at household, district and national institutional levels. Agricultural system constraints experienced by farming households are identified, and in response the technologies, structure…
Can smallholder farmers buffer rainfall variability through conservation agriculture? On-farm practices and maize yields in Kenya and Malawi
Reduced tillage, permanent ground cover and crop diversification are the three core pillars of Conservation Agriculture (CA). We assess and compare on-farm effects of different practices related to the three pillars of CA on maize yields under ENSO-driven rainfall variability in Kenya and Malawi. Reduced tillage practices increased yields per hectare by 250 kg on average in Malawi under below-average rainfall conditions and by 700 kg in Kenya und…
The role of quantitative cross-case analysis in understanding tropical smallholder farmers’ adaptive capacity to climate shocks
Climate shocks are predicted to increase in magnitude and frequency as the climate changes, notably impacting poor and vulnerable communities across the Tropics. The urgency to better understand and improve communities’ resilience is reflected in international agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the multiplication of adaptation research and action programs. In turn, the need for collecting and communicating evidence on the climate resilien…
Exploring temporality in socio-ecological resilience through experiences of the 2015–16 El Niño across the Tropics
In a context of both long-term climatic changes and short-term climatic shocks, temporal dynamics profoundly influence ecosystems and societies. In low income contexts in the Tropics, where both exposure and vulnerability to climatic fluctuations is high, the frequency, duration, and trends in these fluctuations are important determinants of socio-ecological resilience. In this paper, the dynamics of six diverse socio-ecological systems (SES) acr…
