Resource recovery from livestock waste: cases and business models from the Global South
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/175483
Abstract
Livestock waste poses significant environmental and public health challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly through water pollution and the spread of infectious diseases. Nutrient-rich runoff from this waste contributes to eutrophication, while pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella contaminate surface waters, posing serious risks to human and animal health. Yet,…

Climate risk perception and adoption of sustainable agricultural practices: insights from Kenya’s Central Highlands
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178578
Abstract
Smallholder farmers are increasingly exposed to climate variability that threatens agricultural productivity and household livelihoods. Sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) are widely recognized as a key pathway for sustaining yields, conserving resources, and enhancing resilience. Identifying the factors that drive adoption is therefore essential for designing effective…

A critical analysis of soil (and water) conservation practices in the Ethiopian Highlands: implications for future research and modeling
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132480
Abstract
Soil and water conservation have been traditionally part of farming practices for thousands of years. Despite massive efforts to implement modern soil and water conservation practices (SWCPs) in the Ethiopian Highlands, soil erosion increased after the 1970s when social and political events led to a remarkable change in land use. This review aims to…

Fostering social inclusion in development-oriented digital food system interventions
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139546
Abstract
CONTEXT
Digital innovations can enhance the participation of often-marginalized social groups – including women and resource-poor farmers in low- and middle-income countries – in sustainable, profitable food systems. But digital interventions can also reinforce existing inequities by further increasing the competitive advantage of user groups privileged with literacy, access to smartphones, or high…

Evaluation of CMIP6 models in reproducing observed rainfall over Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131672
Abstract
Ethiopia is highly susceptible to the effects of climate change and variability. This study evaluated the performances of 37 CMIP6 models against a gridded rainfall product of Ethiopia known as Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS) in simulating the observed rainfall from 1981 to 2014. Taylor Skill Score was used for ranking the performance of individual models for mean monthly, June–September, and February–…

Abstract
Almost a quarter of a century after the Beijing Declaration, and with 10 years left to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, The Guardian announced the SDG Gender Index’s finding that, “Not one single country is set to achieve gender equality by 2030” (Equal Measures 2030 2019, Ford 2019). This aligns with the most recent Global Gender Gap Index, which signals that, on the current trajectory, it will take approximately 170 years…

Abstract
Finance for climate action can be an important means of bolstering the resilience of communities exposed to climate hazards, addressing developmental challenges, and redistributing wealth toward the Global South. However, investments in contexts where climate and conflict risks overlap must recognize linkages between the two and be careful not to cause or worsen…
