This paper argues that a sustainable ecosystem management approach is vital to ensure the delivery of essential ‘life support’ services and must be mainstreamed into societal conscience, political thinking economic processes. Feeding world at time climate change, environmental degradation, increasing human population demand for finite resources requires equitable governance. Ecosystem degradation undermines food production availability clean water, hence threatening health, livelihoods...
Abstract This paper explores how deliberative workshops might enhance social learning about climate change adaptation among land managers in northwest Europe (Scotland). To date, methods for enhancing the context of and have been neglected. In this study, location specific agro‐meteorological indicators both observed future data were produced. The used as a basis discussion four workshops. sought to raise awareness issues, ensure validity utility indicators, stimulate thinking adaptive...

Five stakeholder-relevant indices of agro-meteorological change were analysed for the UK, over past (1961–1990) and future (2061–2090) periods. Accumulated Frosts, Dry Days, Growing Season Length, Plant Heat Stress Start Field Operations calculated from E-Obs (European Observational) HadRM3 (Hadley Regional Climate Model) PPE (perturbed physics ensemble) data sets. Indices compared directly examined current uncertainty. Biases are quantified in terms ensemble member climate sensitivity...

It adding the ‘perfect storm’ threats from climate change, biodiversity loss ecosystem degradation, at time considerable rising nationalism breakdown international collaboration. In UK, situation further complicated due Brexit. F ood N utrition S ecurity project, lasting one year, funded by Economic Social Research Council assessing ongoing impact...
The effects of interyear variability extreme rainfall events on maize yields at locations in Cameroon, central‐west sub‐Saharan Africa were investigated through a simulation assessment combining weather generator with crop growth model. This study analyzes the potential using dry/wet year predictions to reduce risk subsistence agricultural production associated climate site level. Weather data sets from eight provincial localities classified into three precipitation scenarios – dry (lower...
