Drones, communities and nature: pitfalls and possibilities for conservation and territorial rights por Sauls, L.A., Paneque-Gálvez, J., Amador-Jiménez, M., Vargas-Ramírez, N., Laumonier, Y.

“…We also reflect upon the opportunities and barriers that IPLCs and their collaborators encounter in designing and implementing meaningful drone strategies, explicitly considering social, economic and political challenges. Finally, we consider the socio-ecological outcomes that community drone use enables across these sites along with the ways that drones engender more biocultural and territorial approaches to conservation through IPLC-led monitoring and mapping efforts. …”

Climate change, nutrition and Mongolia: A risk profile por UNICEF Mongolia, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, International Food Policy Research Institute, Ringler, Claudia, Bellisario, Kristen, Fanzo, Jessica, Bromage, Sabri, Perez, Nicostrato, Bater, Jorick, Bakey, A., Dagys, Kadirbyek, Chimed-Ochir, B., Ganbat, D., Tsolmon, Soninkhishig, Thomas, Timothy S.

“…Importantly, climate change does not only affect food production but can exacerbate malnutrition by removing food and nutrients in all stages of the food value chain. Finally, given the important contribution of food systems to climate change, nutrition policy in Mongolia should more proactively consider environmental impacts.…”

Agricultural transformation and market integration in the ASEAN region: Responding to food security and inclusiveness concerns por Roy, Devesh, Kamar, Abul, Pradhan, Mamata, Saroj, Sunil, Ajmani, Manmeet Singh

“…In non-tariff policy, among the CLMVP countries, Philippines shares the maximum number of SPS measures implemented on agricultural goods while Cambodia and Lao PDR did not report any SPS measures implemented by them between 2006 to 2020. Finally, to demonstrate the upward movement in the value chain, possibly due to quality upgradation, we present the dynamics of the unit values of CLMVP’s agricultural exports.…”

The impacts of production and price shocks on the coffee industry in PNG por Arua, Stanley, Gondo, Robert, Kinau, Adrian, Kotto, Aaron, Dorosh, Paul A., Schmidt, Emily, Tian, Junyan

“…We then utilize a simple partial equilibrium model of coffee supply and demand, along with data on coffee production and household consumption from the PNG Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) of 2009/10, FAOSTAT and the World Bank, to simulate the impacts of potential production and price shocks on the coffee industry in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Finally, we present an analysis of price movements in recent years and the potential costs and benefits of a price stabilization policy for coffee producers.…”

The state of food security and nutrition in Myanmar: Findings from the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey 2021-2022 por Myanmar Agriculture Policy Support Activity

“…We also look at disaggregated consumption of the different food groups that constitute the diet diversity measures to investigate the change in the consumption pattern of individuals. Finally, we use regression analysis to look at predictors of food insecurity and inadequate diet diversity, including household wealth and income, selfreported shocks, food prices, and household characteristics.…”

Direct and spillover effects of land rights formalization in Africa: A case study of the Second-Level Land Certification (SLLC) in Ethiopia por Ghebru, Hosaena, Girmachew, Fikirte

“…Empirical results also reveal a market stimulant effect of the SLLC program on land rental market participation with a more direct effect on beneficiary households’ likelihood of renting out land (becoming a landlord) and a spillover benefit to non-beneficiary households’ likelihood of renting-in land (becoming a tenant). Finally, our analysis shows a negative and statistically significant impact on access to and/or control over land by women and youth. …”

Role of land access in youth migration and youth employment decisions: Empirical evidence from rural Nigeria por Ghebru, Hosaena, Amare, Mulubrhan, Mavrotas, George, Ogunniyi, Adebayo

“…The results further reveal that youth in areas with a high level of agricultural commercialization and modernization seem to be more responsive to land access considerations in making migration and employment decisions than are youth residing in less commercialized areas. Finally, the results from the differential analysis suggest that rural-to-urban migration and the likelihood of youth involvement in the dual economy is more responsive to the size of the expected land inheritance for less educated youth as compared to more educated ones.…”
