Around 30% of global food is produced by smallholder farmers, yet they constitute the most food-insecure group. In Mexico, self-sufficiency declining. Rural policies in country have stimulated production cash crops to detriment traditional intercropping system, milpa. Such a decline may negative consequences for security subsistence farmers. This study aimed assess changes nutritional over last 30 years and role milpa systems two communities highlands Oaxaca, Mexico. The used satellite...
In the context of climate change, need to contribute achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 is no longer in doubt, especially sub-Saharan Africa. this study landscape within 10 km Donomadé model farm, southeastern Togo, researchers sought assess vegetation health ecosystems and agrosystems, including their capacity produce biomass for agroecological practices. Sentinel-2 sensor data from 2015, 2017, 2020, 2022 were preprocessed used calculate normalized fire ratio index (NBR),...
Agriculture plays a vital role in African countries, driving economic growth, employment, and non-agricultural sector improvements. However, persistent food insecurity poverty among smallholder families raise concerns. Land fragmentation compounds these issues, limiting agricultural productivity pushing farmers towards off-farm activities, despite Africa's potential markets. The study's focus is Donomadé, remote village southern Togo. This study pursues dual objective. Firstly, it...
Farming systems are key to achieving the Sustainable Development goals of Zero Poverty and Hunger. Yet, more than half food-insecure people live in rural areas. Persistent yield gaps, poverty traps, disinterest investing agricultural activities, population growth put pressure on landscapes, threatening food security preservation natural resources. In addition, narratives around often focus caloric intake overlook dietary complexity. This is a transdisciplinary study that assesses complexity...
In the context of climate change, need for stakeholders to contribute achieving SDG2 is no longer in doubt especially sub-Saharan Africa. this study landscape within 10 km Donomadé model farm, southeastern Togo, we sought assess vegetation health ecosystems and agrosystems, including their capacity produce biomass agroecological practices. Sentinel-2 sensor data from 2015, 2017, 2020, 2022 were preprocessed used calculate normalized fire ratio index (NBR), severity (dNBR), CASA-SEBAL models....
Food production and ecosystem services can be improved by reconfiguring landscapes.• Often neglected vitamins for human nutrition should considered when designing Exploration of trade-offs synergies between indicators shows the room to maneuver in planning processes.• Visualization a large array landscape redesign options informs decision making communities.
CONTEXT: Agriculture plays a vital role in African countries, driving economic growth, employment, and non-agricultural sector improvements. However, persistent food insecurity poverty among smallholder families raise concerns. Land fragmentation compounds these issues, limiting agricultural productivity pushing farmers towards off-farm activities, despite Africa’s potential markets. OBJECTIVE: The study’s focus is Donomadé, remote village southern Togo. This study pursues dual objective....
While the scientific community has focused on documenting environmental degradation and developing scenarios that help identify operational margins for system Earth, less attention been given to mental models of decision-makers underpin policies. We suggest global efforts stop deforestation biodiversity loss are failing in part due a critical blind spot analysis—human agency. To address this weakness, we propose formulate translate them into strategy games. This will increase...
