In the tropics, extreme weather associated with global climate teleconnections can have an outsized impact on food security. Ethiopia, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is frequently linked to drought-induced insecurity. Many projections hold that events will become more frequent or intense under change, suggesting droughts may destructive. Agricultural vulnerability extremes however, a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Sensitivity, in this context, depend...
As actors in tropical agricultural commodity supply chains implement commitments to end deforestation, they risk exacerbating social inequities by excluding smallholder farmers, who are important producers of many crops. Here, we explore the potential for independent oil palm smallholders Indonesia participate zero-deforestation chains. We find that these underrepresented share compliant production. then synthesize perspectives from key industry including and their representatives, producing...
Agricultural scientists are pursuing sustainable intensification strategies to increase global food availability, but integration from research impact at the local-level requires knowledge of demographic and human-environment enhance adaptive capacity farmers cultivating <10 ha. Enhancing close collaboration among transdisciplinary teams these smallholders is critical co-elaborate policy solutions ongoing security crises that likely be attuned with local conditions. Human...
Ethiopia is a largely agrarian country with nearly 85% of its employment coming from agriculture. Nevertheless, it not known how much land under cultivation. Mapping cover at finer resolution and global scales has been particularly difficult in Ethiopia. The study area falls region high mapping complexity environmental challenges which require higher quality maps. Here, remote sensing used to classify large the central northwestern highlands into eight broad classes that comprise...
A growing number of companies have announced zero-deforestation commitments (ZDCs) to eliminate commodities produced at the expense forests from their supply chains. Translating these aspirational goals into forest conservation requires mapping and monitoring (M&M) systems that are technically adequate therefore credible, salient so they address needs decision makers, legitimate in fair unbiased, scalable over space time. We identify 12 attributes M&M contribute assess how two prominent ZDC...
