The research focuses on understanding why agroforestry systems represent a significant opportunity to strengthen the food security of small-scale producers in the region. The review involved a meticulous search in electronic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, prioritizing books, scientific articles, and reports from international congresses published between 2011 and 2022. Initially, 136 sources related to agroforestry and food security were identified, but after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 49 relevant documents were selected. The attention is directed towards critical aspects, such as the impact on biodiversity, the relationship to climate change, and the importance of traditional knowledge. Ecological services, agroecological practices, and land use planning are explored. The study highlights the dynamic nature of agroforestry in the Latin American landscape and the conclusion suggests an opportunity to address pressing challenges through concrete strategies, recognizing the transformative potential of agroecological practices. A call to action is issued, emphasizing the need to translate ideas into tangible actions, with recommendations to implement specific policies harnessing agroforestry. This call is based on the evidence from the systematic review, and it seeks to drive a significant change in addressing critical issues in Latin America, aiming to promote environmental sustainability, food security, and resilience to climate change.","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If only sugarcane bagasse is considered, it represents 7.5% of the country’s electricity supply. Thus, seeking a broader economic vision, the main objective of this research is to analyze the behavior of electricity consumption generated through sugarcane bagasse in Brazil, from 2013 to 2021. To do this, it used a model in dynamic panel using as independent variables the price of electricity, per capita income, sugarcane production, price of ethanol (competing product), total electricity consumption in each state and the level of rainfall. The analysis sought to capture differences in bioelectricity consumption between states considered richer and poorer. After confirming the indication of the absence of a unit root in bioelectricity consumption, the model was estimated using the generalized first difference moment method (FD GMM), which was more robust to the data. The results suggest that the consumption of sugar-energy electricity has been decreasing, on average, 0.82% per year in the period analyzed. However, the research also showed that the increase in electricity prices had a positive effect on the consumption of sugar-alcohol bioelectricity, offsetting the effect of the downward trend in recent years. From a regional point of view, the research also showed a downward trend in consumption for the states considered more developed and a slight upward trend for the poorest regions. This implies that price and income, analyzed together, point to the existence of a systematic effect between income levels on the price elasticity of demand for electricity from sugarcane. The finding is important for those responsible for conducting energy policy as it indicates that different income levels between regions must be taken into account when proposing public policies to contain or encourage electricity consumption from renewable sources.","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aims to investigate the effect of dam construction on the change of soil erosion rate through the RUSLE and GIS in the Kavak River Basin in Thrace Peninsula (Türkiye). The impact of the dam built in the source part of the river on soil erosion in the basin was analyzed by the conditions for characterizing the pre-and post-dam construction periods (1990–2018). The RUSLE soil erosion model and GIS were used to organize and evaluate the study data. Model estimation outputs were compared with the shoreline changes in the delta, SOC loss and dating of sediment deposits, and volume changes in the dam reservoir. Finally, the average soil loss (ASL) in the Kavak River Basin was demonstrated to be 5.31 t haˉ¹ yrˉ¹ and 4.68 t haˉ¹ yrˉ¹ in 1990 and 2018, respectively. In the same period, it was determined that there was a -80 m shoreline regression in the delta. According to the study’s results, the erosion phenomenon may lead to a decrease in the economic life of the dam reservoir and a narrowing in productive agricultural areas in the delta.","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dual-porosity media is also termed MIM (mobile-immobile) regions. The pollutants are intended to drift through two adjacent homogeneous zones. An advective–dispersive equation governs mobile regions of the porous media. However, immobile regions are controlled by diffusive flux. The dispersivity as a measure of location determines the dispersion coefficient’s scale dependence. Though linear and exponential dispersivity functions were devised and implemented a few decades ago, in which the exponential distance-dependent dispersion model could provide comparatively satisfactory results, that, too, could not make a stronger correlation with the laboratory results. The linear and exponential dispersion models showed over-predicted data with insignificant skewness and tailing effects. Therefore, the present study further explores the distance-reliant dispersion model by introducing a novel hyperbolic cosine distance-reliant dispersion formulation. The transport model is discretized using a substantially implicit finite-difference-based Crank–Nicolson technique, and Thomas’ approach is applied to solve the output set of simultaneous algebraic problems. The present model is verified with the experimental data, and sensitivity analyses have been performed to look into how model parameters affect the model’s output. The present study reveals that contaminants move faster when using a scale-dependent dispersion model. Sensitivity analyses have revealed that an increase in the mobile regions and distribution of contaminants with the soil matrices reduces the breakthrough profiles. The reduced breakthrough profiles culminate retarded transport of contaminants in the soil media.","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to select evaluation indicators. The spatial directional distribution was analyzed using Standard Deviation Ellipse (SDE). The trend of spatial directional distribution was explored by choosing BP neural network model. The results show that: (1) There is a “stock-flow” link in the ecological structure of water resources. (2) The overall water efficiency of the production-living-ecological function indicates an oversupply. The main form is the exchange between ecological and production function. (3) Projections show that water used decreases from northeast to southwest and water efficiency increases from northeast to southwest. The production function occupies a large amount of water use. This paper establishes the theoretical framework of ecological structure of water efficiency and excavates the complex relationship and changing characteristics of production-life-ecological function and water efficiency.

This study attempts to identify livelihood recovery interventions (LRIs) based on different mechanisms of livelihood resilience for the people affected by urban development projects. Following a literature review and field visit, an initial list of seventy-three LRIs under fifteen mechanisms was prepared. Then, a panel of experts from India was invited to participate in a Delphi technique to check the interventions’ applicability and determine additional context-specific interventions to attain livelihood resilience in the Indian context. The results show that maximum interventions related to (i) empowering the people in rural areas, especially for their active participation in the implementation of the development project; (ii) additional facilities to reduce outmigration; (iii) long-term strategies by the government to achieve sustainability are the most relevant, as gained the consensus with aggregate preference 90%, in three rounds of Delphi.

This study utilizes data from 14,873 enterprises listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares between 2017 and 2022 to uncover the role of ESG on corporate value. The analysis employs a double fixed-effects model with a specific focus on the corporate value perspective. The findings indicate that the performance of ESG factors can enhance the overall value of a corporation and multiple rigorous tests have been conducted to validate this discovery. Enhancing ESG performance improves the value of a company by fostering innovation in both ecological and sustainable practices. Moreover, dual green innovation mediates relationship between ESG and firm value, with exploratory green innovation playing a more prominent role. Firms in decline have the greatest ESG influence in terms of the heterogeneity in ESG’s ability to increase firm value. During the decline phase, green innovation pioneering plays a crucial role, while exploitative innovation during the maturity phase has the most substantial effect on these companies.","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cities are hubs of economic growth, fueling their national economies. The resilience of this growth is at risk, however, from unplanned-for shocks and ongoing stresses, facing increasing environmental, social, and economic challenges. Various literature reviews have revealed the importance of urban resilience, but most have failed to address cost-effective methods for implementing resilience in urban conflicts. Finding new innovative approaches, that are the cheapest and the easiest to implement, to overcome the challenges, are limited. Investors are struggling with a range of obstacles when it comes to investing in resilience. To help in closing the implementation gap, a comprehensive framework of sustainable approaches emphasizing the notion of circular economy is developed across a range of spatial scales throughout its phases of emergency and risk management cycle. The main aim is to enable adaptation and the development of cost-effective solutions in response to future challenges and thus encourage investments in resilient cities. A cost benefit analysis, applied to a hypothetical city, is developed for each innovative approach at different spatial levels. The proposed analysis has proven that innovative approaches are cost effective, as their net economic benefit exceeds their upfront cost. Besides that, they tend to reduce a variety of disaster losses and emphasize the notion of circular economy. In overall, the framework analysis has revealed its ability to act as a protective dome to govern, manage, and finance sustainable low-cost approaches in any new urban formation.","PeriodicalId":540,"journal":{"name":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
