Challenges of assessing the sustainability of (agro)-pastoral systems por Ayantunde, Augustine A., Leeuw, Jan de, Turner, M.D., Said, Mohammed Yahya

“…The main challenges addressed in this paper include purpose and interpretation of sustainability, time dimension and scale, diversity of pastoral systems, inter-relatedness of assessment criteria, comprehensiveness and measurability of indicators. To illustrate the challenges, we proposed a number of criteria based on key systems' components of production, stability, efficiency and resilience. …”

When wells are welfare and not threat to farmers' well-being: Groundwater markets and politics in West Bengal, India por Mukherji, Aditi

“…In this paper, I will argue that groundwater irrigation in well-endowed alluvial aquifers of the Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra (GMB) is a source of wealth and welfare (and not threat) to its largely poor and agrarian population. I will illustrate this with the case of West Bengal. First, based on secondary data, I will show that groundwater irrigation has been instrumental in agrarian growth in West Bengal. …”

Insight to Ecosystem Based Approach (EBA) at landscape level using a geospatial medium por Nagabhatla, N., Senaratna Sellamuttu, Sonali, Bobba, A.G., Finlayson, C. Max, Wickramasuriya, R., Brakel, Martin L. van, Prasad, S.N., Pattanaik, C.

“…At the local scale, drawing on the landscape characterization and the ecological economics for fresh water Lake Kolleru in India and the Muthurajawela Marsh-Negombo Lagoon coastal marsh in Sri Lanka, we illustrate some of the practical challenges in balancing wetland conservation, development needs and the overall well-being of local people. …”

Food security and climate change: on the potential to adapt global crop production by active selection to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide por Ziska, Lewis H., Bunce, James A., Shimono, Hiroyuki, Gealy, David R., Baker, Jeffrey T., Newton, Paul C.D., Reynolds, Matthew P., Jagadish, Krishna S.V., Zhu, Chunwu, Howden, Mark, Wilson, Lloyd T.

“…In this review, we challenge that viewpoint through an assessment of existing studies on CO2 and intraspecific variability to illustrate the potential biological basis for differential plant response among crop lines and demonstrate that while technical hurdles remain, active selection and breeding for CO2 responsiveness among cereal varieties may provide one of the simplest and direct strategies for increasing global yields and maintaining food security with anthropogenic change.…”

Reconceptualising adaptation to climate change as part of pathways of change and response por Wise, RM, Fazey, I, Stafford Smith, M.D., Park, SE, Eakin, H.C., Archer Van Garderen, ERM, Campbell, Bruce M.

“…This re-conceptualisation of adaptation pathways aims to inform decision makers about integrating incremental actions on proximate causes with the transformative aspects of societal change. Case studies illustrate what this might entail. The paper ends with a call for further exploration of theory, methods and procedures to operationalise this broader conceptualisation of adaptation.…”

Economic incentives for adopting irrigation innovations in arid environments por Bekchanov, Maksud, Lamers, John P.A., Nurmetov, K.

“…Water-wise options such as manuring cotton and potatoes, implementing hydrogel in wheat and cotton, and drip irrigation of melons and vegetables are among the most promising field-level improvement options to gain optimal regional incomes under decreased water availability and increased water prices. It is illustrated that despite the huge investments needed for a wide-scale implementation of modern irrigation technologies such as drip irrigation and laser-guided land leveling, their adoption will substantially improve water use efficiency, while their implementation costs can be compensated for by the additional revenues due to increased yields and reduced costs.…”

Targeting conservation agriculture in the context of livelihoods and landscapes por Rosenstock, Todd S., Mpanda, Mathew, Rioux, J., Aynekulu, Ermias, Kimaro, Anthony A., Neufeldt, Henry, Shepherd, Keith D., Luedeling, Eike

“…Despite comparable aggregate effects at both sites, factors such as land tenure, access to information, and livestock pressure contrast sharply highlighting the need to quantify the range of livelihood and landscape effects when evaluating the suitability of the technology. This analysis illustrates the potential of incorporating uncertainty in rapid assessments of agricultural development interventions. …”
