Climate change and infectious livestock diseases: The case of Rift Valley fever and tick-borne diseases by Bett, Bernard K., Lindahl, Johanna F., Grace, Delia

“…These diseases already cause severe losses in agricultural productivity, food security and socio-economic development wherever they occur, and an increase in their incidence or geographical coverage would intensify these losses. We further illustrate some of the control measures that can be used to manage these diseases and recommend that more research should be done to better understand the impacts of climate change on livestock diseases as well as on the effectiveness of the available intervention measures.…”

Racism in environmental communication about plastic pollution by Elander, Angelina

“…To avoid risking conflict these problems are covertly addressed within the safe premises of environmental communication about plastic pollution through symbolism and tropes in sub narratives about stereotyping, racial melancholia, corruption and child homicide. This thesis illustrates how racial tensions can amplify in the context of an environmental crisis and how environmental issues are utilized to give agency to preexisting conflicts and frame issues of the Afrikaner community. …”

Food value chains: Increasing productivity, sustainability, and resilience to climate change by de Brauw, Alan, Pacillo, Grazia

“…Along with these shifts in crop production, rising temperatures, changes in humidity levels, and increased extreme weather will also affect the value chains through which agricultural products are traded, aggregated, processed, and sold to consumers. This chapter illustrates how incentives for producers and other value chain actors will change as climate change reduces the effectiveness of inputs, such as herbicides and pesticides, increases the risks of spoilage faced by middlemen and retailers, and potentially leads to increases in transaction costs. …”
