Relocating croplands could drastically reduce the environmental impacts of global food production

Robert M. Beyer et al.

Summary: Optimizing the spatial distribution of global croplands can reduce environmental impacts and maintain current crop production levels. This adjustment can significantly reduce carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, and water consumption, and can achieve similar results even under future climate change conditions.

Areas of global importance for conserving terrestrial biodiversity, carbon and water

Martin Jung et al.

Summary: In order to achieve the goals of biodiversity and climate conventions, spatial guidance is needed to optimize land conservation strategies and balance multiple objectives. Prioritizing the top 30% and 50% of land areas can significantly contribute to carbon retention, water quality regulation, and species conservation targets. Fully protecting all species considered would require conservation efforts on approximately 70% of terrestrial land.

Participatory modelling for climate change adaptation: the poultry sector in Nigeria

Laura Schmitt Olabisi et al.

Summary: Strategies for agricultural climate change adaptation are essential for sub-Saharan Africa to continue feeding its rapidly growing population under the expected impacts of climate change. Engaging stakeholders through participatory system dynamics modelling can provide insights for policymakers and facilitate social learning and knowledge sharing on adaptation strategies in the poultry sector. Such efforts can help address limited data and high uncertainty surrounding climate change adaptation, and enable integration of national and community-level priorities for effective policy and management in the Nigerian poultry sector.
