It focuses on farm households in Nicaragua which, for generations, have engaged in diversified livelihood strategies including mobility and migration. The article proposes an original framework, based on the concept of multi-localised family food systems, to link household socio-spatial practices with food security. Multifactorial and cross-sectional analysis shows that household food security is the result of complex strategies combining agricultural practices, pluri-activity, economic diversification and the circulation of resources linked to migrant remittances and donations from networks and public policies. Although the links between migration, circular mobility and food security are neither linear nor systematic, our findings reveal that not only the maintenance of family farming but also the multi-localisation of households, circular mobility practices and migration play key roles in food supply and security. These findings suggest that public policies and the interventions of development agencies should take a better approach to support the food coping strategies of these multi-localised households, taking greater consideration of off-farm diversification, mobility and migration.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147562853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilising satellite-derived aerosol measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and maximum surface temperature data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), both spatial patterns and temporal evolution of aerosol-temperature coupling were analysed through correlation studies and vector autoregression (VAR) modelling. Our findings reveal distinct spatial gradients in aerosol distribution, with Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) increasing west-to-east (0.35–0.93) and stronger absorption patterns in the eastern sector (Aerosol Absorption Optical Depth (AAOD): 0.037–0.092). Post-2018, the region experienced intensified Ultraviolet Aerosol Index (UVAI) and increased frequency of temperature extremes exceeding 40°C, with 2021 marking a peak of 162 high UVAI (>2) events. To investigate UVAI-temperature interactions, relative humidity and wind components were included in the VAR model with a consistent 2-day lag relationship. Our analysis revealed regionally distinct response patterns: the Primary Region (eastern Chhattisgarh-western Odisha) exhibits oscillatory temperature responses to UVAI shocks with multiple fluctuations persisting through day 10, with relative humidity functioning as a critical mediating factor and wind patterns establishing feedback mechanisms with aerosols. In contrast, the Secondary Region (eastern Uttar Pradesh) shows a smoother, monotonic temperature response with a more straightforward pathway from aerosol forcing to temperature response. Fire events are associated with only 6.1% of UVAI events (1.0–5.0), with declining fire association as UVAI intensity increases indicating substantial contributions from other sources, including industrial emissions and desert dust. These findings highlight the region-specific nature of aerosol-temperature coupling and its recent intensification, with important implications for understanding regional climate dynamics and air quality management strategies in South Asia.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147665803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

State narratives in Jordan deny indigenous rights to Bedouin by claiming there are no indigenous populations. We use this denial as a starting point to explore two key questions. First, what drives this denial, and second, what does it reveal about indigeneity and citizenship tensions in Jordan? Bedouin in Jordan are narrated as Jordan's citizenry backbone and through frameworks that see them as a monolith. Yet experiences of Bedouin vary and many face displacement and dispossession. Indeed, in cultural heritage sites Bedouin are central to their legitimisation, while simultaneously their rights are not recognised. Through interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with Bedouin communities, we explore how tensions around citizenship, indigeneity and identity arise at the everyday level. We argue that a more critical engagement with indigeneity is necessary in Jordan. Without this, valuable indigenous knowledge, identities and rights risk being erased. Beyond our focus on Jordan, this paper makes broader contributions to debates on indigeneity and citizenship. We conclude by arguing that by applying the term indigenous to more diverse settings, and centring indigenous understandings of the term, we can reclaim its use from a grounded perspective and continue to refuse the way the term indigenous is used and narrated by colonial, postcolonial and settler-colonial states.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"192 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147643207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like many major towns and cities across the UK, Belfast witnessed anti-immigrant demonstrations and violence, alongside counterdemonstrations in the aftermath of the events in Southport. However, what made the Belfast protest distinctive was the international element, drawing a small group of far-right nationalists from Dublin to march alongside pro-British nationalists in Belfast. Given the deep historical divisions between these strains of nationalism on the island, which were hitherto seen as diametrically opposed, this invites deeper consideration of the meaning and potential of such a nascent alliance. The robust political response from Dublin revealed that the Belfast protest clearly posed a direct threat to the nationalist vision of the Irish state, but also underscored how compromised that vision is by a blindness to the fuller implications of empire and a reliance on Europeanised notions of ‘cosmopolitanism’.

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), which involves the injection of sulphur into the stratosphere to reduce incoming solar radiation to Earth's surface, has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the global warming rate; however, there is a knowledge gap on how this may affect horticultural crops including mango, orange and tomato in Africa. Our study examines the effects of climate change due to Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and SAI on horticultural crop suitability in Africa using datasets from the Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering Large Ensembles (GLENS) project for the periods 2011–2030 and 2070–2089 as inputs into the Ecocrop model. Our findings show GHG may lead to an increase of 3–4°C in temperature and a 5–10 mm increase in total monthly rainfall in West, Central and East Africa, but a decrease (10 mm) in southern Africa. SAI intervention is projected to induce cooling of up to 3°C in both minimum and mean temperature and may also lead to a decrease of 10–20 mm in total monthly rainfall in Africa by the end of the century. The intervention may lead to an increase (~0.2) in the Suitability Index Value (SIV) of mango and tomato over West and Central Africa. However, a projected decrease (~0.3) in SIV is projected for mango and orange from Angola extending to northern Mozambique in southern Africa. In addition, no change in SIV is projected for the three crops in North Africa. SAI intervention may lead to a 2% increase in highly suitable areas for tomato and about a 7% increase in unsuitable areas for the three crops.
