Adaptation is important to minimizing the risks of changing climate. Climate-strategic agriculture: It refers to adoption of agricultural practices, which reduce the risks and avail of any new opportunities which may emerge from change in climate. Soils and global food security: Being the most ...
evolution, considering the three manifestations of agroecology as a science, a set of practices and a social movement; and relate them to the recent dialogue establishing a set of ten iconic elements of agroecology that have emerged from a global multi-stakeholder consultation and synthesis process....
Based on a review of scientific literature and best practices, we distill five foundational principles of natural climate solutions (nature-based, sustainable, climate-additional, measurable, and equitable) and fifteen operational principles for practical implementation. By adhering to these principles, ...
of conditionality—monitoring compliance and sanctioning detected non-compliance—is seldom being implemented. Administrative ease, multiple non-environmental side objectives and social equity concerns may jointly help explain the reluctance to adopt more sophisticated, theoretically informed practices.

practices which together were intended to ensure that crops were grown to give the right yield of the right quality, that non-renewable farm inputs were minimized, that harm to the environment was reduced and positive impacts on biodiver- sity were created, and rural communities were supported....
Given the wide range of FLR practices and the varied spectrum of actors involved, a single working framework is unlikely to be effective, but tailored working frameworks can be co-created based on a common conceptual framework (i.e., a common core set of principles and a generalized set of...

Therefore, taking all these elements into consideration, the success of smart cities can be measured by how well they align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thus, by adopting innovative technologies and efficient practices, SC can become real “urban laboratories”, transforming them into ...
Climate change is heavily altering plant distributions, posing significant challenges to conventional agricultural practices and ecological balance. Meanwhile, mixed species planting emerges as a potent strategy to enhance agricultural resilience, counteract climate change, preserve ecological balance, and provide...
