Beaucoup d’études économétriques évaluent l’impact du changement climatique sur l’agriculture en supposant les prix agricoles exogènes. Si les variables climatiques influencent ces prix, il en résulte un « biais de prix », dont on reconnaît l’existence mais qui n’a jamais été quantifié. Nous quantifions ce biais dans le cas du Burkina Faso, avec un...

本文对2018年洪水后库塔纳德地区 (印度南部一处海平面以下农业系统)农户的生产资料易损度方面进行了研究为此，我们利用从各户采集到的各种应对策略的严重程度和频率的数据，构建了一种应对策略强度的衡量标准--洪水应对策略指数（FCSI）。此外，我们估算了一个Tobit回归模型，以确定影响应对策略选择强度的因素。FCSI结果表明，由于州政府快速有效的政策反应，只有2%的农户的易受损度达到了“严重”程度。此外，Tobit回归分析表明，女性户主家庭和劳动力家庭相对更易受损。虽然收入对生产资料易损度有负影响，但农业土地增加了洪水期间的耕作损失，因此对易损度有正影响 关键词： 洪水，农业，脆弱性，洪水应对策略指数，Tobit回归模型，Kuttanad.

This research evaluates whether environmental exposures (pesticides and smoke) influence respiratory and allergic outcomes in women living in a tropical, agricultural environment. We used data from 266 mothers from the Infants' Environmental Health cohort study in Costa Rica. We evaluated environmental exposures in women by measuring seven pesticid...
Faut-il garder une partie des eaux qui tombent – en principe – abondamment l’hiver pour irriguer les cultures l’été ? Le stockage de l’eau est-il une stratégie durable pour l’agriculture victime du réchauffement climatique ? Tel est le débat qui secoue les milieux agricoles et écologistes, et enflamme certains territoires du grand ouest de la Franc...
Na manjših kmetijah se za spravilo krme velikokrat poslužujemo izdelave valjastih bal. Problem nastane pri spravilu večje količine bal s travnika do skladiščnega prostora, saj je brez prave mehanizacije potrebno veliko časa. S pomočjo metode VDI 2221 smo raziskali razmere na trgu in z upoštevanjem potreb naročnika razvili primerno rešitev. Za rešit...

Lebanon has been dealing with a multitude of challenges over its history. An massive port explosion in 2020 caused a rapid decline of the Lebanese valuta. The inflation caused an increase of the food prices with 400% since Lebanon is very depended on its food imports. This left people from lower income classes unable to afford proper nutrition. Iro...

Research into pollinators in managed landscapes has recently combined approaches of pollination ecology and landscape ecology, because key stressors are likely to interact across wide areas. While laboratory and field experiments are valuable for furthering understanding, studies are required to investigate the interacting drivers of pollinator hea...

Changes in land use and agricultural intensification threaten biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of small water bodies. We studied 67 kettle holes (KH) in an agricultural landscape in northeastern Germany using landscape‐scale metatranscriptomics to understand the responses of active bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic communities to land‐use ty...
