Exploring the Kuznets hypothesis in the United Kingdom’s agricultural sector
This study examines the relationship between agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4)) and sectoral development in the United Kingdom (UK) using an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC)–motivated framework. Annual data from 1990 to 2022 were analysed using autoregressive distributed lag error‐correction models (ARDL‐ECM). The analysis incorporated agricultural Gross Value Added (GVA), Total Factor Productivit…
Building a household sanitation index and exploring the socio-economic drivers
Sanitation is multifaceted and requires a broad-spectrum measure to fully account for it, its interpretation and subsequent evaluation for effective policy making. The objective of this study was to develop a sanitation index at the household level by incorporating water, sanitation and hygiene indicators, as well as socioeconomic drivers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Greater Taung, Magareng and Matatiele Local Municipalities in …
Household systematic network analysis for achieving the food-energy-water nexus in South Africa
Network analysis, similar to the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus, facilitates the understanding of complex interdependencies and supports more effective decision-making. By mapping relationships, it identifies key nodes, vulnerabilities, and intervention points, informing improved resource management and sustainability. This study analysed data from 655 households in Amathole District Municipality, South Africa, using household systematic network a…
Exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity (ESAc) to water, energy, and food (WEF) insecurity in the midst of misgovernance and social injustice
The study sought to identify the level and interaction of vulnerabilities to water, energy, and food (WEF) misgovernance, social injustice and insecurity, conceptualized through exposure, sensitivity and adaptative capacity. The study was carried out in Matatiele, Magareng and Greater Taung Local Municipalities, South Africa. Multi-stage purposive sampling was used to get a sample of 1184 households through semi-structured questionnaires in a cro…
Harnessing localised multi-actor institutional water, energy and food nexus financing to achieve just transitions in South Africa
Achieving just transitions in South Africa requires integrated and inclusive financing across the water, energy and food (WEF) nexus. This study sought to examine how multi-actor institutional financing structures influence equity and coordination within the WEF nexus. Using a Social Network Analysis approach, data were collected from key informants representing public, private, and multilateral financial institutions involved in WEF-related proj…

Implications of land restitution as a Transformative Social Policy for Water-Energy-Food (WEF) insecurity in Magareng Local Municipality, South Africa
The objective of the study was to assess the impact of land restitution policy on water, energy, and food insecurity in South Africa. The study utilised a cross-sectional survey of 1 184 households from Matatiele, Greater Taung and Magareng Local Municipalities. The Household Water Insecurity Experience, Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index and Household Food In-access Scale were used to analyse water, energy, and food insecurity, respectively, …
The invisible crisis
Purpose The purpose of this study is to estimate the determinants of household food insecurity in the Gauteng City-Region, South Africa. This is motivated by the fact that food insecurity remains a key challenge at the household level in South Africa. Furthermore, the Gauteng Province has been rapidly urbanising due to a migrant influx, both locally and internationally. The findings will assist the country in achieving its mandate on the local ec…
