Landraces are important genetic resources that have a significant role in maintaining the long-term sustainability of traditional agro-ecosystems, food, nutrition, and livelihood security. In an effort to document landraces in the on-farm conservation co
In addition, the importance of protected areas for conserving connectivity and the contribution of the study area to connectivity beyond its boundaries, specifically the Great Eastern Ranges national wildlife corridor scheme was also assessed. We conclude by discussing the important role of scattered ...
In addition, women possess experience in conserving natural resources for household and community consumption and have a broad view of their surroundings [44,45]. This extensive expertise in sustainable resource management means that women have particular and important insights for decisions on a range...
This includes implementing sustainable land management practices, reducing carbon emissions, and conserving water and energy resources. Through these efforts, we can mitigate the negative impact of human activities on the environment and promote the long-term health and resilience of ecosystems. On a ...
Countries are recognizing the importance ofconserving natural resources. For instance, people are switching to cycling instead of driving, which is not only sustainable but also good for their health. Farmers are also practicing climate-smart agriculture, and industries are realizing how much they can...
Furthermore, fish farming is easier to do than other kinds of farming as fish are not care-intensive since they only require food and proper water and temperature conditions. The process is also less land-intensive as the size of ponds required to grow some fish species like tilapia is much...
[52]. Another reason might result from intercultural knowledge gaps in the use of some species. For instance, Fon people did not make food use ofL. multifloraat all, while the species was highly culturally important for Mahi for food needs. Since home gardens are critical in conserving plant...
A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by...
Land use and land cover (LULC) mapping can be of great help in changing land use decisions, but accurate mapping of LULC categories is challenging, especially in semi-arid areas with extensive farming systems and seasonal vegetation phenology. Machine learning algorithms are now widely used for LU...
