Farmer acceptability of increased tree cover scenarios in the UK
Using virtual reality to increase empathy and combat bias in the classroom
Teachers hold conscious and unconscious beliefs that may reflect biased or stereotypical understandings of diverse student groups. Biased beliefs can negatively shape teacher expectations and teacher–student interactions, ultimately impacting student academic outcomes. One way to combat bias is to increase empathy for those student groups. Virtual Reality (VR) is considered an “empathy machine,” enabling participants to take others’ perspectives.…
Assessing the impact of nature-based solutions on soil health in sub-Saharan Africa through farmer-centred methods
Soils underpin many ecosystem services, including food production, through functions such as organic matter decomposition. These functions are increasingly threatened by soil degradation, especially in climate-vulnerable regions, such as sub-Saharan Africa, where unstable soils are prone to severe erosion. As soils continue to degrade, farmers face multiple challenges; they cannot afford accurate tests to assess soil, their livelihoods are constr…
It makes me get up and want to work even harder
As a result of the increasing demands and the changing multi-cultural and socio-economic profile of schools, shortages of quality education leaders are a global issue. In the United States, this is particularly pernicious in urban areas, and traditional pathways to leadership positions pose an array of barriers. There is a growing need for culturally-responsive, critically self-aware social justice-oriented (CR/CSA/SJ) leaders who are better able…
Identifying target areas for agroforestry in European agricultural landscapes based on environmental pressures and socioeconomic contexts
Agroforestry is a practice where the intentional combination of trees and shrubs, crops and livestock occur on the same land to generate environmental, economic and social benefits. This study identifies target areas in the European Union 27 Member States, United Kingdom, and Switzerland where introducing agroforestry can further enhance environmental benefits and climate change resilience. Using a spatial approach, the methodology involved four …
Professional learning and leadership practice for supporting policy work in schools
Consolidating a neoliberal agenda in education
Over the last few decades, both New Zealand and the intergovernmental organisation of UNESCO have widely spread the rhetoric of safety through a broad range of educational issues. This notion, in vogue since the neoliberal turn, has raised little opposition in educational debates. In this article, we use a Foucauldian lens to analyse the assumptions that underlie the discourses of safety of UNESCO and the New Zealand’s education policy, and to wh…
Policy efforts to meet Unesco’s Sustainable development Goal 4
Governments around the globe have realised that meeting UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education requires meaningful changes to policy and practice. There are numerous ways localities have attempted to do so: policies aimed at intentional hiring of more diverse teachers, policies requiring professional development for current teachers, and including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) …
The Indigenisation of Australian Archaeology
Soil application of high-lignin fermentation byproduct to increase the sustainability of liquid biofuel production from crop residues
When digestates from anaerobic digestion of crop residues are added to soil, a considerable body of information indicates that soil organic carbon (SOC) levels are comparable to those when crop residues are left in the field. This occurs although the amount of digestate added to soil is diminished by digestion and implies that digestion increases the proportion of carbon inputs stabilized as SOC. Here we examine the likelihood and implications of…
Equity Doesn’t Just Happen

The chapters offer glimmers of hope through glimpses into the experiences of education leaders in the US and New Zealand. None of the stories told offer a fool-proof formula for achieving the goal of culturally responsive, socially just, equity…
Adolescent connectedness and its impact on substance use in Jamaican adolescents
The Importance of Positive Social Support During Reentry From Prison
Social support appears to be important in improving outcomes for incarcerated individuals during the reentry process not only in terms of general wellbeing but also in gaining employment and avoiding recidivism. Mentoring programs have become increasingly popular interventions that are intended to provide such support during reentry. However, research on mentoring programs is limited and tends to focus solely on the programs’ impact on recidivism…
Meeting tree planting targets on the UK's path to net-zero
The UK government has pledged to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Ambitious targets have been set to plant nearly a million hectares of new woodland in the UK by 2050 to meet these net-zero commitments. More than 70% of UK’s land is used for agricultural production and to meet these targets the Climate Change Committee has estimated that by 2050 approximately 21% of agricultural land will be required for tree planting, agrofores…
Kāinga Tahi, Kāinga Rua

These accounts range from the broader factors shaping Māori housing aspirations through to the experiences of whānau, hapū and iwi that connect to specific sites and locations. From statistically informed analyses to more poetic renderings of the challenges and opportunities of Māori housing, the book encompasses a rich range of voices and…
Modeling long-term attainable soil organic carbon sequestration across the highlands of Ethiopia
The objectives of this study across the highlands of Ethiopia were: (i) to characterize the association between soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and biophysical variables and (ii) to model and map attainable SOC sequestration associated with five improved land management practices. The spatial distribution of the SOC stock was studied using a multiple linear regression model driven by eight biophysical predictors. A widely used SOC model (RothC) …
Productivity, biodiversity trade-offs, and farm income in an agroforestry versus an arable system
Storying Kaitiakitanga
This article explores the Indigenous principle of kaitiakitanga as it relates to Māori agrifood practices. Our discussion is based on interviews with a small cross-section of Māori in the agrifood sector whose practices are informed by a long-standing appreciation of the interconnected realities of lands, food, people and waterways. We consider how the shared Kaupapa Māori principles underpinning these food practices form part of a wider Kaupapa …
Potential yield challenges to scale-up of zero budget natural farming
A delphi-style approach for developing an integrated food/non-food system sustainability assessment tool
Treatment of organic resources before soil incorporation in semi-arid regions improves resilience to El Niño, and increases crop production and economic returns
The use of limited organic resources to build resilience to drought in semi-arid regions was investigated using systems modelling. The study focused on Halaba in Ethiopia, drawing on biophysical and socio-economic data obtained from a survey of farms before, during and after the 2015/16 El Niño event. Using a simplified weather dataset to remove noise from weather fluctuations, a ten yearly El Niño was demonstrated to cause significant long-term …
Bridging barriers to advance multisector approaches to improve food security, nutrition and population health in Nepal
This study suggests that multisector approach needs to adapt to take into account the experiences and views of the stakeholders concerned. The paper offers recommendations for successful development and implementation of future multisector interventions in Nepal that can be extrapolated to other low and middle-income countries, and lays foundations for future transdisciplinary working to support realisation of the recommendations
Agroforestry creates carbon sinks whilst enhancing the environment in agricultural landscapes in Europe
Agroforestry, relative to conventional agriculture, contributes significantly to carbon sequestration, increases a range of regulating ecosystem services, and enhances biodiversity. Using a transdisciplinary approach, we combined scientific and technical knowledge to evaluate nine environmental pressures in terms of ecosystem services in European farmland and assessed the carbon storage potential of suitable agroforestry systems, proposed by regi…

Māori Television's service to its publics in an era of digital plenty
This article discusses New Zealand's Indigenous media organization, Māori Television, and its relationship to a wider history of public service television provision. Māori Television's emergence is the result of many years of political struggle by Māori to have the New Zealand government recognize its obligations to the revitalization of Māori language and culture as guaranteed by the 1840 Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi. Māori Television em…
Aotearoa/New Zealand
This paper considers how ways of talking about New Zealand national identity still privilege a settler-centric perspective. The paper begins from the premise that settler colonialism is an ongoing project that must continually code, decode and recode social norms and social spaces so as to secure a meaningful (read proprietary) relationship to the territories and resources at stake. Somewhat akin to an obsessive-compulsive disorder, settler colon…

Postcolonial Māori Television? The dirty politics of indigenous cultural production
This article considers how Gayatri Spivak's notion of the new subaltern might shed light on the political significance of Indigenous television broadcaster, Māori Television. The article begins from the premise that television's populist roots and its ties to the rhythms of everyday life provide a great opportunity for thinking about a form of postcolonical critique generated ‘from below’. The article argues that the polysemic powers of Māori Tel…
Barriers and facilitators to partnership working between Early Intervention Services and the voluntary and community sector
Partnership working between health and the voluntary and community sector has become an increasing political priority. This paper describes and explores the extent and patterns of partnership working between health and the voluntary and community sector in the context of Early Intervention Services for young people with a first episode of psychosis. Data were collected from 12 Early Intervention Services and through semistructured interviews with…

Ngāi Tahu print media before and after settlement
Treaty reparation processes are a key characteristic of postcolonial Aotearoa/New Zealand. In 1975 the New Zealand Crown established the Waitangi Tribunal designed to make recommendations on indigenous (Māori) claims regarding breaches of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi (Tiriti o Waitangi). While in the face of things, this was a politically progressive act of reconciliation, the Treaty process still entails limitations, the most important aspect bei…

The Social Functioning Scale the Development and Validation of a New Scale of Social Adjustment for use in Family Intervention Programmes with Schizophrenic Patients
Social functioning as an outcome variable in family interventions with schizophrenic patients has been a relatively neglected area. The requirements of a scale of social functioning to measure the efficacy of family interventions include: the measurement of skill/behaviour relevant to the impairments and the demography of this group; the ability to yield considerable information with an economy of clinical time; and the establishment of ‘comparat…
Ecosystem Service Supply and Vulnerability to Global Change in Europe
Global change will alter the supply of ecosystem services that are vital for human well-being. To investigate ecosystem service supply during the 21st century, we used a range of ecosystem models and scenarios of climate and land-use change to conduct a Europe-wide assessment. Large changes in climate and land use typically resulted in large changes in ecosystem service supply. Some of these trends may be positive (for example, increases in fores…
Greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture
Agricultural lands occupy 37% of the earth's land surface. Agriculture accounts for 52 and 84% of global anthropogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Agricultural soils may also act as a sink or source for CO 2 , but the net flux is small. Many agricultural practices can potentially mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most prominent of which are improved cropland and grazing land management and restoration of degraded lands and cul…

Twelve hundred reasons why there is no Australasia
Australia and New Zealand share interwoven histories and prior to 1901 Australasia existed as an identifiable region with open trade and migration. Yet in the late 1800s, a decision was made in New Zealand to decline entrance into an Australian federation. Two distinct national identities had evolved out of the colonies through the appropriation of perceived historical, political, economic and social disparities. This article theorises that a sig…

Māori Television's Indigenous insistence
Established in New Zealand in 2004, Māori Television is the result of many years of Indigenous political agitation to gain government support for the health and well-being of Māori language and culture in the face of the debilitating (and persisting) effects of colonial settlement. As such, Māori Television is more than simply a television broadcaster; it is a media producer dedicated to strengthening Indigenous voices and cultural knowledges. Th…
