One Health (OH) positions health professionals as agents for change and provides a platform to manage determinants of that are often not comprehensively captured in medicine or public alone. However, due the organisation societies disciplines, sectoral allocation resources, development transdisciplinary approaches requires effort perseverance. Therefore, there is need provide evidence on added value OH governments, researchers, funding bodies stakeholders. This paper outlines conceptual...
Agriculture in Africa is not only exposed to climate change impacts but also a source of greenhouse gases (GHGs). While GHG emissions are relatively minimal global dimensions, agriculture the continent constitutes major emissions. In Ghana, agricultural accelerating, mainly due ensuing deforestation which smallholder cocoa farming largely associated. The sector bedevilled by soil degradation, pests, diseases and poor yields coupled with agronomic practices. Climate Smart (CSA) thus offers...
Abstract As space-based Earth observations are delivering a growing amount and variety of data, the potential this information to better support disaster risk management is coming into increased scrutiny. Disaster actions commonly divided different steps cycle, which include: prevention, minimize future losses; preparedness crisis management, often focused on saving lives; post-crisis aiming at re-establishing services supporting human activities. Based literature review examples studies in...
Africa’s agriculture faces varying climate change impacts which mainly worsen production conditions and adversely affect its economies. Adaptations thus need to build the resilience of farming systems. Using “resilient adaptation” as a concept, this study analyses how adaptations at farm policy/institutional-levels contribute Sub-Saharan African agriculture. The developed tool, “the Resilience Check”, provides socio-economic data complements existing adaptation tools. underlying development...
Equity has become a major concern in efforts to conserve nature. However, the Global South, inequitable social impacts of conservation usually prevail. We investigate barriers equitable governance four protected areas through an innovative approach linking tri-dimensional framing environmental justice with notion telecoupling. conceptualize creation, support, and implementation as telecoupling processes that involve flows, actors, action situations, assess them based on set indicators...
Food insecurity remains a major concern for numerous rural households in Sub-Saharan Africa who rely on agriculture as their main source of livelihood. The assessment the links between food security and livelihoods is central overcoming widespread insecurity. However, assessments remain challenging due to security's multi-dimensionality challenge finding indicators that are comparable applicable various contexts. This study addresses this by adapting index (FSI) uses it assess livelihood...
