Smart Cities In Mauritius: Opportunities And Challenges

Context and Background:Changes in the way powers are structured in Morocco have had an impact on the dynamics linking territorial stakeholders and on territorial development.

There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and Energy—Consortium to reconcile both global and national elements for developing national food and land-use system pathways.

This application is a customized version of the Global Agriculture Monitoring System (GLAM), made in partnership with data4MOZ with a focus on Mozambique, the Limpopo River Basin, and its watersheds.

This study probes assumptions which underpin current thinking about the transformation of Pakistan’s agrifood systems by identifying and examining key turning points from the 1840s onwards in sub-regions of the Indus irrigated plains.

The achievement of several sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Agreement depends on rapid progress towards sustainable food and land systems in all countries. We have built a flexible, collaborative modeling framework to foster the development of national pathways by local research teams and their integration up to global scale. Local researchers independently customize national models to explore mid-century pathways of the food and land use system transformation in collaboration with stakeholders.

High air temperatures and low atmospheric humidity can result in severe disasters such as flash droughts in regions characterized by high humidity (monsoon regions). However, it remains unclear whether responses of hot extremes to warming temperature are amplified on dry days as well as the response of dry extremes on hot days.

The purpose of this brief is to identify and summarize the critical bottlenecks related to the policy and regulatory environment, infrastructure, and public services that constrain the expansion and diversification of Ethiopia’s intra-regional trade and value addition. Unlike Africa’s trade with the rest of the world, which consists mainly of primary commodities, intra-regional agricultural trade on the continent is heavily dominated by processed products.

Given the length of the conflict and multiplicity of actors embedded in the Colombian war, it becomes necessary to understand the impact that violence, displacement and dispossession have amongst rural producers and in the agroeconomic sector in general. The struggle for land tenure, the management of natural resources, and the economic and social centrality of cattle ranching for various armed actors, are therefore vital aspects to consider in understanding the effects of the conflict in rural Colombia.

While international trade in agricultural commodities can spur economic development especially where governance is strong, there are also concerns about the local impacts of commodity production and their distribution. Previous frameworks have primarily focused on trade effects on environmental conditions in production regions, as well as economic growth and food security. Instead, we develop a conceptual framework for understanding the impact of agricultural trade on multidimensional wellbeing and equity.

This report presents the findings of a stakeholder mapping conducted in Arbahajan Ward from August 17th to 19th, 2023. Stakeholders mapping is a crucial initial step for implementing Participatory Rangelands Management (PRM) and has been undertaken under the auspices of the Livestock and Climate Initiative by RECONCILE in collaboration with ILRI.
