Gender, Deliberation, and Natural Resource Governance: Experimental Evidence from Malawi por Dulani, B., Clayton, A., Kosec, Katrina, Robinson, A.

“…Tropical deforestation is estimated to cause about one-quarter of anthropogenic carbon emissions, the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions after fossil fuel combustion. Deforestation is also catastrophic for the communities that depend on tree harvesting for the livelihoods and who suffer the consequences of natural disasters linked to deforestation (e.g., mudslides). …”

Identification of beef production farms in the Pampas and Campos area that stand out in economic and environmental performance por Modernel, Pablo, Dogliotti, Santiago, Alvarez, Stéphanie, Corbeels, Marc, Picasso, Valentin, Tittonell, Pablo Adrian, Rossing, Walter A.H.

“…Increasing livestock productivity in the Rio de la Plata grasslands region resulted in a stronger decline of the carbon footprint without compromising the current negligible levels of fossil fuel energy use. Further elucidation of management practices that lead to positive deviant performance will require modelling of the interaction of pasture and herd dynamics at farm level and is needed to support targeted policy support for sustainable natural grassland-based beef production in the region.…”

Bioeconomy: An engine for integral development of Colombia por Henry, Guy, Hodson, Elizabeth, Aramendis, Rafael, Trigo, Eduardo, Rankin, Sara

“…After the Green Revolution, Latin American countries opted for development models that helped boost economic growth based on natural resources and import substitution. However, this scheme proved to be weak due to the little diversification and value addition from industry, and to the belief that natural resources are limited and crucial for their sustainability. …”
