Nickel: The new EU food safety regulation and what it means for the cacao and chocolate sector by Atkinson, Rachel, Chavez Navarrete, Eduardo Francisco, Da Silva, Mayesse Aparecida, Dekeyrel, Jesse, Giraldo Carvajal, Maria Camila, Martin Lopez, Javier Mauricio, Pulleman, Mirjam, Smolders, Erik, Taborda Lozada, Darlley Stiven, Thomas, Evert

“…Chocolate with higher levels of nickel comes from specific areas and appears related to their geological origin. Reducing nickel uptake by cacao is unlikely to be easy, but liming may be helpful if the soils are high in nickel and acidic. …”

Operation of the EWS in the city of Matagalpa, Nicaragua by Díaz López, Marjorie, Jiménez Otárola, Francisco

“…The city of Matagalpa, due to the geological and morphological features of the territory, exposure to natural phenomena, the degradation of natural resources and rapid population growth, has endangered the welfare of its population, because of the high vulnerability and risk to the occurrence of natural disasters, principally flooding from the Grande Matagalpa River, which crosses through the center of the city, frequently leaving significant material damage and human loss. …”

Assisting community management of groundwater: irrigator attitudes in two watersheds in Rajasthan and Gujarat, India by Varua, M.E., Ward, J., Maheshwari, B., Ozac, S., Purohit, R., Hakimuddin, Chinnasamy, Pennan

“…The research tested the hypothesis that attitudes to groundwater management and farming practices, household income and trust levels of assisting agencies were not consistent across the watersheds, implying that a targeted approach, in contrast to default uniform programs, would assist communities craft rules to manage groundwater across multiple hydro-geological settings. Hierarchical cluster analysis of attitudes held by survey respondents revealed four statistically significant discrete clusters, supporting acceptance of the hypothesis. …”
