A Spatial-Econometric Analysis of Fruit Tree Diversity in Lebanon
Fruit tree agrobiodiversity is critical for smallholder livelihoods and resilience in countries of the global south, yet it is threatened by complex socio-economic and environmental pressures. Understanding the spatial drivers of this diversity is fundamental for targeted conservation. This study provides the first spatial-econometric analysis of fruit tree diversity in Lebanon and the region, combining field-based surveys of 112 farming househol…
Quantifying Earth system interactions for sustainable food production via expert elicitation
Several safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the safe operating space for humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored interactions among seven variables representing Earth system processes relevant to food production, identifying many interactions little explored in Earth system literature. We found that green…
Refugees, water balance, and water stress
The Syrian crisis caused a massive influx of displaced people into neighboring countries, with Lebanon hosting the highest per capita number of refugees (3:10). Water remains the most critical natural resource that influences the resilience of host and refugee communities. We provide a new GIS-based updated water balance and water scarcity analysis at the national and the watershed level in Lebanon by comparing current conditions to no-refugee le…
Agriculture as a funding source of Isis
Agriculture is an important source of income for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (ISIS), which currently rules over large parts of the breadbaskets of the two countries. It has received limited attention compared to other sources of ISIS revenues such as oil, looting, ransom, foreign donations and various forms of taxation. We estimate winter crops production of wheat and barley in ISIS-controlled areas in both Syria and Iraq for the years 20…
