In the modern era of research, the significance of transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches in enhancing higher education learning outcomes cannot be overlooked. These approaches break down traditional academic silos, fostering a more holistic and interconnected understanding of complex problems. By integrating diverse perspectives and methodologies, they promote critical thinking, creativity, and innovation among students. Educators and institutions must embrace and implement transdisciplinary teaching and technological integration to prepare students for the demands of the future and drive meaningful advancements in education. Transdisciplinary Teaching and Technological Integrat...
This book explores carbon credits and trading within agroforestry systems. It covers atmospheric CO2 management, as well as achieving net zero and net negative carbon emissions through the carbon credit concept and its application in agroforestry systems amidst climate change. Carbon farming in agroforestry contributes to carbon footprint mitigation while ensuring ecosystem health and environmental sustainability. The book discusses trading protocols, including soil carbon credits in agroforestry, and the monetisation of carbon credits from various agroforestry systems for the benefit of farmers. Additionally, it addresses challenges and proposes a future roadmap regarding carbon credit-based policies in agroforestry. The book emphasises new insights derived from updated research, development, and extension activities aimed at combating climate change through carbon sequestration in agroforestry, enhancing the carbon credits for landowners and increasing productivity, as per the forum conferences of parties under the United Nations.
Poverty, food insecurity, biodiversity and habitat loss are persistent global challenges that are further exacerbated by the impacts of climate change. These challenges are particularly hard felt in the tropical landscapes of the global South where tensions between local socio-economic and international environmental commitments are pervasive. Due to the apparent failure of sectorial approaches to address such challenges, more holistic strategies are being increasingly promoted. Integrated landscape approaches are one such example; essentially a governance strategy that engages multiple stakeholders to reconcile societal and environmental objectives at the landscape scale to identify trade-o...
This edited book opens up new vistas for sustainable intensification in agriculture to provide food to ever growing population as well as adapting to the risks of global environmental change. Diverting from conventional agriculture, the book explores new dimensions and concepts that have been identified for future research and development in sustaining agriculture in Asia and Africa regions. The chapters are written by leading researchers and practitioners in the field of agroforestry. The book demonstrates how agroforestry could be instrumental in bringing stability and sustainability in agricultural production. It offers sustainable solutions for the impending problems of climate change, ecosystem degradation, declining agricultural productivity, and uncertain food security. It is an essential resource for students in agroforestry courses, as well as a valuable introduction to the field for professionals in related areas.
As the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity 2011–2020 comes to a close and countries prepare to adopt a post-2020 global biodiversity framework, this edition of The State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) examines the contributions of forests, and of the people who use and manage them, to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. Forests cover just over 30 percent of the global land area, yet they provide habitat for the vast majority of the terrestrial plant and animal species known to science. Unfortunately, forests and the biodiversity they contain continue to be under threat from actions to convert the land to agriculture or unsustainable levels of exploitation, much of it illegal. The State of the World’s Forests 2020 assesses progress to date in meeting global targets and goals related to forest biodiversity and examines the effectiveness of policies, actions and approaches, in terms of both conservation and sustainable development outcomes. A series of case studies provide examples of innovative practices that combine conservation and sustainable use of forest biodiversity to create balanced solutions for both people and the planet.
The cardiovascular system is vital for human well-being, playing key roles in thermoregulation, nutrient transport, fluid balance, and protection from infection. Cardiovascular diseases are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, toxins, and environmental factors can induce cardiovascular toxicity, causing structural changes and impairing blood flow. Co-morbidities like diabetes and obesity, along with epigenetic factors and infections, further enhance cardiovascular toxicity. Understanding these factors and developing better therapeutic approaches is crucial. New drugs and vaccines have improved disease treatment, but they can also induce adverse effects b...
