Abstract

To promote sustainable development and holistic well-being, this article examines the connections between Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Gross National Happiness (GNH). GNH emphasizes environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and socioeconomic advancement, but the SDGs provide a complete framework for tackling global issues. With its roots in local and indigenous populations, TEK offers essential perspectives on environmental management and cultural preservation. By giving marginalized populations more authority, TEK integration into development plans improves biodiversity protection, guarantees the preservation of indigenous knowledge, and advances social justice. By acknowledging the interdependence of the material, spiritual, and environmental aspects of well-being, we may build resilient, inclusive, and sustainable futures.

Abstract

The expansion of agricultural land through deforestation is becoming a serious problem in several regions of Ethiopia. The research was carried out in the Adami Tulu Jido Kombolcha district due to the observed expansion of agricultural land at the expense of forests. Therefore, this study aims to identify direct and indirect factors affecting land use and land cover change from forest to agriculture. Data was collected using household surveys, key informant interviews (KIIs), and focus group discussions (FGDs). Household surveys were conducted on 244 randomly selected households. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the DPSIR framework to develop relationships between drivers, pressures, conditions, influences, and responses. The result shows that most farmers clear forests to expand their agricultural land. Further, the results showed that the proximate causes of the conversion of forest to agriculture were charcoal production, large-scale agriculture, and small-scale farming, as well as poverty, unemployment, and lack of enforcement of forestry laws, and weak forest policy were identified as the main indirect causes of agricultural land expansion at the expense of forests. In addition, the results indicate that the consequences of changing land use from forestry to agriculture are loss of biodiversity, increased soil erosion, floods and droughts, and shortages of wood, buildings, and fuel. The study results suggest that awareness-raising activities on the use of natural resources and the impacts of deforestation, as well as forest policies and strict enforcement of forestry laws, are important to establish and maintain appropriate use of land in that particular area.

Abstract

Nowadays there is a water crisis, farmers usually use wastewater and well water for agricultural cultivation. A pot experiment was used to investigate the influence of Duhok municipal wastewater for irrigation of broccoli plants of the genus (Brassica oleracea var. Italica (Broccoli) as compared to fresh water on broccoli parts and morphology of the plant. Municipal wastewater can be a rich source of necessary nutrients for plant growth when used as irrigation water. In this investigation, the municipal wastewater was preserved in plastic bottles taken from sewage sludge called (Hishkero) river, while the utilized soil got around the Misuriké district under a loamy soil texture class. The result showed that the broccoli plant was significantly affected by wastewater compared to freshwater in increasing potassium, lead, and copper (1.92 ± 0.05 % ), (1.70 ± 0.05 %), (0.66 ± 0.02 mg/kg-1), (0.56 ± 0.02 mg/kg-1), (0.23 ± 0.03 mg/kg-1), (0.05 ± 0.03 mg/kg-1) respectively. While the broccoli plant for macro-nutrient accumulation  (NPK) was significantly accumulated in shoot and head more than roots (1.45 ± 0.04 %), (1.41 ± 0.04 %), (0.24 ± 0.03 %), (0.33 ± 0.03 %), (2.17 ± 0.07 %), (2.11 ± 0.07 %) respectively. In conclusion, the nutrient content in broccoli was improved by wastewater as it has high nutrient contents with permissible levels of hazardous heavy metals of as lead and cadmium especially in the eaten part.

Abstract

Bamboo is a fast-growing forest resource that offers significant economic potential and can contribute to sustainable development. Farmers' knowledge and attitudes about exotic bamboo influence the successful adoption and effective utilization of the technology. Enhancing farmers' knowledge and positive attitudes towards exotic bamboo can create economic opportunities and ensure environmental sustainability. However, empirical evidence on farmers' knowledge and attitudes towards exotic bamboo practices is limited. This study aims to assess farmers' knowledge and attitudes towards the adoption of exotic bamboo species through a combined survey and field demonstration in southwest Ethiopia over the past three years. The field demonstration is supported by continuous training and follow-up. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 30 respondents. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The results indicate that participating respondents had a low level of knowledge and positive attitudes towards adopting exotic bamboo before the implementation of the program. The outcomes of a three-year field demonstration program show the effectiveness of providing smallholder farmers with information and knowledge about the adoption and management of exotic bamboo technology. Almost all respondents recognize the importance of implementing exotic bamboo to narrow the demand and supply gap of wood and forest management. Moreover, the results reveal a positive correlation between farmers' knowledge and their willingness to adopt exotic bamboo technology. Therefore, the finding suggests the provision of capacity-building training and extension services for farmers to increase their knowledge and positive attitudes toward the adoption of exotic bamboo management practices.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a novel nano-fertilizer additive through the use of nano-technological principles. The synthesis of iron nanoparticles was carried out using water-soluble iron salt and pomegranate plant extract as a green synthesis reaction medium, thus creating an innovative and environmentally friendly approach. A comprehensive analysis of the synthesized particles was carried out using various advanced techniques such as SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, and UV-Vis, elucidating their complex morphological and elemental properties and confirming their nanoscale size. Then, the application of the produced nano-fertilizer on specific plant species (Smoke and Flame Tree) was investigated to evaluate its effect on plant growth. In this context, the nano-fertilizer was applied to plant tissue cultures grown under controlled and sterile conditions in the plant tissue laboratory, followed by a comparative analysis with control groups. The results of the study revealed the superior efficacy of nano-iron based nano-fertilizer, which requires significantly less amount of iron compared to conventional iron fertilizers. Multiple parameters were considered for the analysis of the results. In particular, the application of nano fertilizer gave more favorable results for the growth of the Flame tree (Photinia fraserii) when the nanodimer was used at a ratio of 1/46 to the standard iron-containing medium. Similarly, for the Smoke tree (Cotinus coggygria), favorable effects on plant growth were observed at a ratio of 1/34 compared to the standard iron-containing medium. These findings suggest that nano-fertilizer formulations containing synthesized nano-iron additives can increase agricultural yield, minimize environmental impact, and contribute positively to overall plant production.

Abstract

The agricultural landscape is very important for the production of goods and services, which are vital to human life. However, agricultural intensification affects the ecological interconnection, function, structure, and capability of landscape production and productivity. Therefore, this review aims to understand the role, diverse causes of biodiversity losses, and maintenance options of agrobiodiversity in landscape ecology. To achieve these objectives, different reputable journal articles that were published starting in 2013 until now were collected, organized, summarized, and compiled carefully. Agrobiodiversity includes all the components of biological diversity that are relevant to agricultural ecosystems. It has an essential role in the sustainable development of agricultural systems, which provide food, fiber, fuel, fodder, medicines, and other products for subsistence. Agricultural biodiversity has a great contribution to food security, production, environmental sustainability, diversifying rural livelihoods, and rural development. These essential agrobiodiversity are endangered due to the ignoring of native knowledge, the absence of local institutions and management systems, inequitable tenure, market pressures, and demographic factors. Thus, conserving agrobiodiversity and its multiple functions included awareness creation in ecosystem management, promoting local adaptive management, supporting local participation, strengthening local rights and tenure property, improving trade-related policies, and providing economic incentives.

Abstract

The current environmental and social crises are directing human beings toward extinction. This has come about after using an economic development model for hundreds of years that has depleted natural resources that can no longer be reproduced and caused the extinction of thousands of plant and animal species. Through this study, the development of information and communication technology has been compared over time with environmental degradation and conservation actions. Separate growth paths that have found a point of contact with climate marches and have continued together for more than a decade. The message among humans is increasingly passing through social channels enjoyed by mobile devices. Some generic user data were analyzed on a global and continental level, while the demographic and territorial characterization of Italian users was explored in depth. Through this article, we aim to show that it is important to use social media for the involvement of people in addressing environmental crises. The increasing use of these communication tools allows through targeted messages their active involvement.

Abstract

Strategies for diversifying one's source of income are crucial for the development of rural households' rain-fed agricultural economies in developing nations like Bhutan. Participating in off-farm and non-farm activities supports households in tackling a variety of difficulties, such as drought. Nonetheless, little study has been done on determining the factors that affect households’ decisions about livelihood choices in the Bhutanese context. Therefore, this study aims to examine the factors influencing rural households’ decisions to diversify their livelihood diversification strategies in western Bhutan. A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was employed to select 384 rural household heads as the study area's sample. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires from sampled households. The factors affecting rural household heads' decision to select livelihood strategies were determined using a multivariate Probit Regression Model. The model's result showed that, while on-farm livelihood strategy was negatively and significantly correlated with distance to market, it had a strong correlation with male-headed households and land holdings. The non-farm livelihood strategy was demonstrated to be significantly and positively affected by the total income, education level, and dependency ratio; whereas, the gender of the household head had a negative and significant impact. Landholding had a negative and significant impact on off-farm livelihood strategy, while the gender of the household head had a positive and significant effect.  Therefore, the study recommends policies and initiatives aimed at enhancing rural livelihood should prioritize expanding rural infrastructures, enhance smallholder households’ sustainable livelihood ability, and help to participate in income-generating activities in different ways.

Abstract

Chure Hills is considered as youngest Himalaya in the Himalayan chain. These hills are also considered vulnerable due to its fragile nature and unpredictable natural and human intervention. On this ground, this study attempts to explore the land use and land cover change pattern and its driving forces in the Chure-Terai hills of Mithila Municipality. This study involved the analysis of freely available satellite images of the study area which was downloaded from USGS. The Landsat 7 and Land sat 8 satellite images from 2000 to 2020 have been extracted for the land use/land cover mapping. Supervised classification has been carried out through Remote Sensing and GIS software. With reference of the Land Use Act, 2019 seven major classes have been classified in the study area which includes Forest area, Agriculture area, Settlement area, Grassland, Water body, Sediment Area, and Landslide Area. Based on observation throughout the research, despite the dominancy of forest and agriculture, both were declining continuously by -3.66% from 2000 to 2010 & -3.77% from 2010-2020 and agriculture area by -4.86% from 2000 to 2010 and -4.03% from 2010-2020. Similarly, increment of grassland or say barren land by (+7.26%) and (+4.02%) has been observed. This observation concluded that this change was due to human encroachment, and haphazard settlement. Side-by-side disaster events have also increased whereas the water body has been degrading due to the illegal extraction of construction materials from the Chure region and braided characteristics of the river.
