CONTEXT In the Sahel region, agroforestry, if upscaled, is a promising land restoration measure to combat the effects of climate change. Beyond its environmental benefits, agroforestry potentially increases crop yields or provides tree products. While the presence and quantity of trees ensures ...
That's equivalent to two soccer fields and allows for the cultivation of up to 300 oil palms, she explains. “Most of our farmers have far less due to cultivation issues,” adds Marieke, who regularly does grassroots work at the community level in various projects. And...
This decision did not mention a specific level of support per project, as Decree 98 does. At the time of our survey, no timber production linkage projects had been initiated under these regulations. The actors within the value chains were unaware of this policy, which mandates local financial ...
Figure12and Table8display the summary effect estimates for all of the nine meta-analyses on concentration data. These estimates are for the basic models and do not account for moderators, discussed below. Their purpose is to identify clear patterns. A lack of significance does not indicate no s...
Csa, Csb, Csc) and the snow climate zone (fully humid, i.e., Köppen–Geiger climate classification; Dfa, Dfb, Dfc). These zones were selected due to their relative homogeneity and relevance to the Swedish environment. Studies involving agroforestry, paddy or rice cropping systems were exclud...
This includes agroforestry, a popular approach in the tropics that involves integrating trees and shrubs into farmland as a way to preserve biodiversity. Further, governments should ensure that the regional market infrastructure is adequate to handle increased agricultural output from both productivity ...
agroforestry systemswhere a diverse set of crops, including trees, are grown together can be effective. Access to manure improves the organic matter of the soil, which inhibits erosion. Finally, alternating deep-rooted and shallow-rooted crops improves soil structure and reduces erosion at the same...
What kind of IK is used to Address Climate Change and How Does it help Enhance Climate Adaptation and Resilience? The findings related to understanding the different kinds of IK used to address climate change and how it contributes to climate change adaptation and resilience are divided and presen...
Few climate adaptation studies combine quantitative household-level analyses with qualitative work that delves into the ‘why tm) as well as the ‘what tm). Even fewer examine gender issues in relation to agricultural practices. This study does both, although intra-household research is needed...
Tea is one of the world’s most consumed beverages and an important crop of many developing countries. Intensive tea cultivation has negative impacts on soil health properties and the environment. While soil acidification in tea plantations is a known severe issue, there is a lack of literature ...
