Inclusive labour-oriented social farming involving people with disabilities
People with disabilities (PwDs) still face numerous barriers in accessing desirable and meaningful work opportunities. ‘Social farming’ is the use of agricultural resources to support disadvantaged populations and has been gaining attention as a means of creating inclusive communities. While the literature addresses the benefits of social farming in care and educational settings, labour-oriented social farming, which is centred more on work provi…
Productive urban landscapes contribute to physical activity promotion among Tokyo residents
Tokyo is characterized by scattered productive urban landscapes (PULs), such as farmlands, homestead woodlands, and satoyama woodlands, which could potentially promote residents’ physical activity against the backdrop of an aging society. We evaluated the contribution of five types of activities conducted in such locations to promote physical activity in 80 participants through data from accelerometers and activity diaries. Older participants eng…
Global land use of diets in a small island community: A case study of Palau in the Pacific
Modern dietary habits in communities are linked and are part of the global food supply chain. To achieve sustainable food production and consumption, communicating the impact associated with food production and dietary choices at community level to consumers is important. However, previous footprint studies have primarily focussed on food consumption at the national level and neglected community–level consumption activities. This study surveyed t…
How Does Urban Farming Benefit Participants’ Health? A Case Study of Allotments and Experience Farms in Tokyo
In Japan, the world's most rapidly aging country, urban farming is attracting attention as an infrastructure for health activities. In Tokyo, urban residents generally participate in two types of farming programs: allotments and experience farms. The availability of regular interaction among participants distinguishes these two programs. We quantitatively examined the difference in changes in self-reported health status between participants in th…
How urbanization enhanced exposure to climate risks in the Pacific: A case study in the Republic of Palau
The increasing risk of coastal flooding and water shortage in Pacific Island Countries is usually attributed to climate change hazards. This ignores other risk components, exposure and vulnerability, of which a major contributor is urbanization. We develop simplified analyses that can be applied to other PICs. By dividing climate risks into hazard and exposure components we determine how urbanization contributed to present-day risks and then pred…
Efficiency and sustainability of land-resource use on a small island
Land resources are essential for humans to survive, and different methods of land- resource use depend largely on the local natural context and society. Here we propose a method to assess land-resource use in terms of efficiency and sustainability for three historical types of land-resource use in the Babeldaob Island, Republic of Palau: self-supply, resource development and nature conservation. Our proposed index of land-use efficiency makes com…
