The chaotic distribution and dispersal of phosphorus (P) used in food systems (defined here as disorderly disruptions to the P cycle) is harming our environment beyond acceptable limits. An analysis stores flows across Europe 2005 showed that high fertiliser inputs relative productive outputs was driving low system efficiency (38 % overall). Regional imbalance (P surplus) losses were highly correlated total animal densities, causing unnecessary accumulation soils rivers. Reducing regional...

This paper reports a mixed-method study from 2016 in Gabura, Bangladesh examining female contribution to climate change adaptation the period post-cyclone Aila 2009. Out of 110 households studied, male household members were absent 66 cases because they had migrated nearby towns and regional centres for alternative livelihood options. Male members' absence created opportunities Gabura women develop range novel strategies through engagement with aid agencies, changed gender roles, leveraging...
Abstract Pakistan has an agriculture-dependent economy vulnerable to climate impacts. Within Pakistan, Punjab province is a leading regional producer of food and cash crops, exporter agricultural commodities significance in South Asia. agriculture provides livelihoods for communities living one the most populous countries world these will be disrupted under incremental changes (e.g. rising temperatures) impacts extreme events (such as droughts floods). Climate impact assessments mapping are...
Abstract Promoting Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) aims to increase the productive capacities of farmer households. Under FMNR, farmers select and manage natural regeneration on farmlands keep them under production. While FMNR contributes wealth farming communities, its contribution household food security has rarely been researched. We, therefore, used a mixed-methods approach address research gap by measuring FMNR’s among households in Talensi district Ghana. We adopted...
There has been a growing recognition regarding the use of social networks to engage communities in government actions. However, despite increasing awareness networks, there is very limited evidence for their application relation climate policy. This study fills this gap by assessing potential engaging local adaptation policy, drawing on case Shoalhaven region Australia. Participants from key representative groups were recruited using purposive snowball sampling technique (N = 24). By mapping...
Phosphorus is a critical agricultural nutrient and major pollutant in waterbodies due to inefficient use. In the form of rock phosphate it finite global commodity vulnerable price shocks sourcing challenges. Transforming toward sustainable phosphorus management involves local stakeholders. Conventional readings stakeholders may not reflect system complexity leaving difficult see stakeholder roles transformations. We attempt remedy this issue with novel analysis method based on five...
This study evaluates the capital expenditure (CapEx) associated with integrating a biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant an amine-based carbon capture facility into hypothetical host facility. The focuses on impact of biomass fuel type CHP sizing bioenergy storage (BECCS) project economics. Four fuels were evaluated, was designed to provide necessary energy remove dioxide (CO2) from existing plant's flue gas, ranging 400,000 800,000 tonnes per year. design in Thermoflow, process...
Phosphorus’ availability and pricing is critical for the entire food system. Transformative phosphorus governance required to reduce European Union’s fertiliser vulnerability. At same time, EU’s approach constrained by multiple problem definitions missing salient framings that could make recovery a priority of decision-making agenda. The article addresses this policy gap gathering discussing different institutional stakeholder inform transition transformed governance. We combine triangulated...
The key biophysical impacts associated with projected climate change in the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) include: declines pasture productivity, reduced forage quality, livestock heat stress, greater problems some pests and weeds, more frequent droughts, intense rainfall events, risks of soil degradation. most arid least productive rangelands MDB region may be severely impacted by change, while eastern northern grazing lands provide opportunities for slight increases production. In order to...
Abstract International civil society and non-government organisations (NGOs) play a role in implementing agricultural projects, which contribute to the mitigation, adaptation, food security dimensions of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). Despite growth CSA, it remains unclear how CSA is designed, conceptualised, embedded into development projects led implemented by NGOs, creating lack clarity as direction future interventions. This paper examines extent programmes from NGO sector actively...
Summary Systems thinking provides a comprehensive range of theories and methods that are useful for understanding managing sustainability challenges. Biodiversity conservation is riddled with complex interactions between science, society myriad interacting systems through temporal spatial scales. This article presents synthetic analysis the history from genealogical perspective, drawing hard soft thinking, resilience social-ecological systems. Using anchor point system leverage points...
This study focused on a population of female engineering students, probing the influences their secondary school experience choice to pursue an course at university. The motivating question is: Do unique opportunities exist in all-female mathematics classroom, which impact young woman's self-perception her ability as well promote positive path towards engineering-based university major? Using both qualitative and quantitative data collection instruments, this examined sample Australian...
