“…Commercialized agricultural land comprises mixed gardens and paddy fields converted into vegetable/cash crop gardens. In transforming the subsistence farming system into an agricultural system oriented towards meeting market needs, agricultural production is no longer seen as a means to meet household needs but as the primary source of household income (Wanderi et al 2019;Kem 2017). The findings show that in the homegarden plot, there are still yards that are not commercialized or are not planted with vegetables.…”

Agroforests in many tropical countries have long been acknowledged as substantially necessary to contribute to biodiversity conservation and community livelihood. The importance of agroforest biodiversification is now overlooked and replaced by a simplified structure due to the impact of agricultural commercialization. Land use changes have occurred in the Upper Citarum Watershed over time, converting traditional agroforests into monoculture plantations at the expense of their socio-ecological function. This paper aimed to analyze land use change dynamics and the effect of biodiversity loss on the socio-economy aspect of the rural agricultural landscape in the Upper Citarum Watershed. We conducted a survey of 95 respondents of community farmers in the agricultural landscape in Sukapura and Resmi Tingal Village using questionnaire guidelines and direct interviews to gather information. There was a significant decrease in plant diversity in some plot agroforests, which, in the previous study, was dominant to be reduced even to local extinctions. The results also show that the farmer poverty index according to BPS criteria is 12.63% of respondents who are below the poverty line. Our results imply that preserving mixed-garden (talun) patches in a landscape dominated by cash-crop gardens is one of the strategies that could conserve landscape biodiversity and increasingly a sustainable livelihood.

Misunderstandings among HCWs have, in some cases, hindered control efforts and delayed necessary treatment, leading to rapid transmission of the infection within hospitals and potentially endangering patients' lives.…”

This research investigates the pronounced impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on Nigeria's fiscal performance, evaluating the budget dynamics both before and after the pandemic. The findings reveal a persistent pattern of budget underperformance characterized by revenue shortfalls and a reliance on international loans for budget implementation. This is a notable trend, considering Nigeria's status as an oil-producing nation. The study underscores a concerning aspect wherein the country, traditionally recognized for its oil wealth, finds itself in the paradoxical position of servicing significant debt. The fiscal challenges, exacerbated by the pandemic, have necessitated a closer examination of economic policies and their implications. In response to the economic fallout, the Nigerian government enacted the Economic Sustainability Plan (ESP, 2020) as a comprehensive post-Covid-19 recovery strategy. While this plan holds promise for economic revitalization, the effectiveness of its accompanying policies in addressing the root causes of fiscal challenges remains a crucial aspect to monitor. As the nation grapples with the aftermath of the pandemic, there is a pressing need for meticulous policy implementation to ensure that the Economic Sustainability Plan not only alleviates immediate economic concerns but also serves as a catalyst for long-term, inclusive, and sustainable economic development. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on Nigeria's economic resilience in the face of external shocks, emphasizing the imperative of sound fiscal management and policy efficacy for a robust recovery.

This paper provides an overview of the implementation and obstacles of watershed management, and the alternative solutions based on a synoptic review of related studies and experiences across Indonesia. The review found that problems in the institutional aspect were hierarchical confusion, discrepancy, and asynchrony among regulations, and weak (participation, synchronization, and coordination) among watershed management stakeholders. The weaknesses in the planning stage are integration among sectors, a lack of community participation, and limited readiness to integrate watershed planning into regional planning. Stakeholders’ involvement is also a critical factor in successful implementation of degraded watershed rehabilitation, including in peatland and mangrove areas. Failure should be minimized by providing adequate information on degraded watershed characteristics, appropriate species choices, and effective mechanical construction for soil and water conservation. Community participation as the main factor in driving watershed management should be achieved by strengthening public awareness of the importance of a sustainable watershed and providing access for the community to be involved in each stage of watershed management. Another problem is data gaps which are essential to address from the planning to evaluation stages. The gaps can be bridged by using remotely sensed data and by applying hydrological-based simulation models. Simplified criteria for watershed assessment may also be required, depending on site-specific issues and the watershed scale.
