A gender strategy for pro-poor climate change mitigation by Edmunds, D., Sasser J, Wollenberg, Eva Karoline

“…Farmers are primarily concerned with their well-being and that of their families and neighbors, rather than larger global environmental issues. Many also hold a ‘landscape-view’ of their home places in which water and energy sources, forests and grasslands, farms and fallows are all considered in relation to one another in contributing to farmers’ livelihood strategies, even though strategies for adaptation may emphasize one part of the landscape and mitigation another (Shames and Scherr, 2011). …”

Comparison of extrapolation and interpolation methods for estimating daily photo synthetically active radiation (PAR): A case study of the Poyang Lake national nature reserve, Chin... by Wu, Guofeng, Leeuw, Jan de, Skidmore, Andrew K., Liu, Yaolin, Prins, H.H.T.

“…Considering the assumptions and principles supporting the extrapolation and interpolation methods, the authors conclude that the spatial interpolation method produces more reliable results than the extrapolation methods and holds the greatest potential in all tested methods, and more PAR measurements should be recorded to evaluate the seasonal, yearly and spatial stabilities of these models for their application to the whole nature reserve of Poyang Lake.…”

Land fragmentation, agricultural productivity and implications for agricultural investments in the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) region, Tanzania by Kadigi, Reuben M.J., Japhet, J. Kashaigili, Agnes, Sirima, Felix, Kamau, Anna, Sikira, Winfred, Mbungu

“…However, the landholdings for smallholder farmers might become increasingly more fragmented as poor smallholder farmers continue selling their land holdings to rich farmers and investors. Releasing the SAGCOT region’s potential for agricultural development will require that smallholder farmers are helped to secure adequate and suitable land for farming, raise agricultural productivity, diversify their sources of income, and adopt good production practices. …”
