A framework for using autonomous adaptation as a leverage point in sustainable climate adaptation
(Climate Risk Management, 2021-10-31)
Planned adaptations are commonly adopted by governments considering large-scale socio-economic and political interventions, while local communities innovate their adaptive responses using locally available resources â ...
Changes in institutional and social–ecological system robustness due to the adoption of large-scale irrigation technology in Navarre (Spain)
(Environmental Policy and Governance, 2020-07-01)
Many regional and national organisations promote the modernisation of agriculture by supporting new technologies to increase their territory's competitiveness in a free-market context. Such technologies and their associated ...
The role of the social network structure on the spread of intensive agriculture: an example from Navarre, Spain
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-09-01)
Social networks influence decision-making in agricultural landscapes by affecting how farmers access knowledge and resources. However, researchers ignore the disparate structures built to access different kinds of knowledge ...
Transformation for inclusive conservation: evidence on values, decisions, and impacts in protected areas
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023)
As countries consider new area-based conservation targets under the Convention on Biological Diversity, protected areas (PAs) and their impacts on people and nature are coming under increasing scrutiny. We review the ...
Simplistic understandings of farmer motivations could undermine the environmental potential of the common agricultural policy
(LAND USE POLICY, 2021)
The European Union Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has failed to achieve its aim of preserving European farmland biodiversity, despite massive investment in subsidies to incentivise environmentally-beneficial farming ...
Energy-socio-economic-environmental modelling for the EU energy and post-COVID-19 transitions
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2022)
Relevant energy questions have arisen because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic shock leads to emissions’ reductions consistent with the rates of decrease required to achieve the Paris Agreement goals. Those unforeseen ...
Assessing the energy trap of industrial agriculture in North America and Europe: 82 balances from 1830 to 2012
(Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2023)
Early energy analyses of agriculture revealed that behind higher labor and land productivity of industrial farming, there was a decrease in energy returns on energy (EROI) invested, in comparison to more traditional organic ...
Physicochemical and Sensory Evaluation Data to Drive the Development of a Green Chili Pepper Hot Sauce from Unexploited Raw Materials
(Foods, 2023)
The present study shows the set of analyses conducted during the development of a hot chili pepper sauce to valorize green peppers usually discarded in the Espelette region (France). A traditional production process was ...
Defining hotspots and coldspots of regulating and maintenance ecosystem services is key to effective marine management – An assessment of a coastal-open sea gradient, Portugal
(Ocean and Coastal Management, 2023)
Coastal and marine ecosystems provide valuable ecosystem services (ES) from which humans derive societal goods and benefits (SG&B) after inputting human capital. Their assessment and integration into management plans are ...
Retrospective and projected warming-equivalent emissions from global livestock and cattle calculated with an alternative climate metric denoted GWP
(PLoS ONE, 2023)
Limiting warming by the end of the century to 1.5̊C compared to pre-Industrial times requires reaching and sustaining net zero global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and declining radiative forcing from non-CO2 greenhouse ...
