Climate change adaptation and the agricultural sector in South American countries: Risk, vulnerabilities and opportunities

The Effect of Climate Change and Sustainable Agricultural Practices on Productivity and Food Security in Rural Areas in East Java

“…The agricultural sector in East Java is facing challenges that threaten its productivity and sustainability. These challenges include the narrowing of agricultural land due to population growth and the need to maintain rice productivity as a staple food [5]. Additionally, there is a need to predict food crop production to inform policy decisions and overcome production uncertainties [6].…”

“…Sustainable agriculture can also help minimize the adverse impacts of climate change on rural communities by providing alternative livelihood options, diversifying income sources, and improving food security [9]- [12]. However, more research and collaboration is needed to develop interdisciplinary and multidimensional agriculture that integrates all aspects of management and generates a wide variety of ecosystem services [5]- [8]. This research seeks to unravel the complex relationship between climate change, sustainable agricultural practices, and their joint influence on important dimensions of agricultural productivity and food security.…”

Dairy Slurry Application to Stubble-Covered Soil: A Study on Sustainable Alternatives to Minimize Gaseous Emissions

“…Otherwise, conventional tillage systems lead to significant disturbance of soil biota through soil disarrangement caused by ploughing, removal of litter layers from the land surface with consequent loss of soil organic matter and increased flux of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from soils [20], and changes in soil temperature and humidity [21]. As the maintenance of ground cover contributes to keeping the soil moist for longer, as well as protecting the soil surface against solar radiation and temperature fluctuation, CA practices can help crops thrive in challenging weather conditions during the growing season [22].…”
