“…Institutional and policy frameworks related to drought and environmental stress mitigation include water harvesting, community loan systems, food aid, drought tolerant crops, off-farm employment or alternative livelihoods amongst others. 50,51,53,55,57,63,66,74,75,79,83,86,87,89,91–93,96–98,100,101 The review also shows the disruptive effects of drought on these strategies. 44,96…”

Climate change is directly and indirectly linked to human health, including through access to treatment and care. Our systematic review presents a systems understanding of the nexus between drought and antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence in HIV-positive individuals in the African setting. Narrative synthesis of 111 studies retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed/Medline, and PsycINFO suggests that economic and livelihoods conditions, comorbidities and ART regimens, human mobility, and psycho-behavioural dispositions and support systems interact in complex ways in the drought-ART adherence nexus in Africa. Economic and livelihood-related challenges appear to impose the strongest impact on human interactions, actions and systems that culminate in non-adherence. Indeed, the complex pathways identified by our systems approach emphasise the need for more integrated research approaches to understanding this phenomenon and develop interventions.

“…One of the study measuring farmers' perceptions towards irrigation embedded the factors like use of irrigation for insurance against drought, crop yield improvement, higher income, food security and poverty reduction. Farmers had poor access to agricultural information and markets, inadequate knowledge on water resources management and lack of agricultural credit were the major constraints faced by the farmers (Nonvide, Sarpong, Kwadzo, Anim-Somuah, and Amoussouga Gero, 2018).…”

“…There are numerous studies about farmers and street food traders and their businesses. Farmers are involved in studies on diverse themes like food safety and food security (Yu et al, 2017;Bovay, 2017;Zhang et al, 2017;Corsi et al, 2017;Hulbrock et al, 2017) or environmental, social and agronomy issues (Berg and Preston, 2017;Ayedun et al, 2017;Danso et al, 2017;Islam et al, 2017;Nonvide et al, 2017;Lee, 2017;Otieno et al, 2017;Boansi et al, 2017;Candelo et al, 2018;Civera et al, 2019). Street food traders have also been the subject of food safety (Cheng et al, 2017;Abou, 1995;Agege, 1988) or the quality and value of food (Chen et al, 2016;Onono et al, 2018;Carron et al, 2017;Youssouf et al, 2012;Janssens, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how food waste management can affect both retail and distribution operators’ efficiency performance and their ability to create value. In particular, the paper shows how optimizing food waste management characterizes best practices and favors the development of sustainability. Design/methodology/approach Based on a survey of 196 outdoor market operators (including farmers and street food traders) from 27 outdoor markets, the authors analyzed unsold food/food wastage processes vis-à-vis the operators’ behavior and attitude. To provide accurate definitions of the satisfaction levels, a consumer perception survey was carried out, with a usable sample of 2,107 questionnaires. The efficiency performance was evaluated according to data envelopment analysis. Findings The results showed that farmers operate more efficiently than street food traders and that the traditional management of unsold food/food waste is an important competitive element in this sector. Research limitations/implications The sample represents the Greater Turin Area in Italy, i.e., thus, limiting generalizability of the results. In addition, the variables analyzed were limited to certain aspects of selling processes and food waste management. Practical implications The results provide some indicators on how a more rational style of unsold food management can improve an operators’ performance and help make a social impact. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that analyses outdoor market operators’ efficiency, based on the use of food waste as a variable affecting their performance.
