“…However, if higher industrial urbanization is developed, the marginal effect of capital's returns in the cities decreases and promotes capital investment in rural areas, which also possibly promotes higher food production, thus ensuring regional food security. 3 Changes in the quantity and quality of cultivable land affect food production. As land urbanization continues, the area of cultivated land continues to shrink as construction land in regional cities expands.…”

“…Cultivated land resources are the material basis for sustaining human social development; therefore, changes in the quantity and quality of cultivated land resources significantly affect regional food production and food security [1][2][3]. According to research results, by 2030, 3.7% of the world's cultivated land will be encroached upon due to urbanization [4,5].…”

Food security has received extensive academic attention in recent years. However, research results analyzing cultivated land pressure from the perspective of urbanization are relatively few. This study used Jiangsu Province as the study area and analyzed the spatial pattern evolution of cultivated land pressure from 2005 to 2019 by constructing a formula for a cultivated land pressure index. The study used a spatial econometric approach to analyze the spatial relationship between urbanization and cultivated land pressure. Based on the spatial Durbin model, the impact of urbanization on the pressure on cultivated land is analyzed. According to the results, Jiangsu Province showed an obvious north–south divergence in the spatial distribution of the cultivated land pressure index, with the low-value areas of the cultivated land pressure index mainly distributed in northern and central Jiangsu, and the high-value areas mainly distributed in southern Jiangsu. The urbanization level and cultivated land pressure level in Jiangsu Province showed obvious spatial clustering characteristics, and there was a certain overlap between the high- and low-value clustering areas of the two, with significant positive spatial correlation features. The total urbanization had no significant effect on the cultivated land pressure. Population urbanization and industry urbanization showed a significant negative effect on cultivated land pressure in Jiangsu Province, while land urbanization showed a positive effect. Both population and land urbanization had a significant negative spatial spillover effect on cultivated land pressure. Plausible explanations of these results were provided and policy implications were drawn.

“…From a previous study, 32 we assert of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)'s responses in the form of varied (economic) stimulus packages to help (or aid) the ailing domestic economy grow, to encourage business re-openings (despite the periodic closure in compliance to state lockdown(s), and risk of non-survival/non-continuity/non-profitability in the interim), to enable economy-wide recovery from the 'pangs' of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although before the COVID-19 pandemic i.e., since mid-2019, the CBN had remarkably maintained a pronounced stance for continued real sector support in the country with accommodative policy decisions 33,34,35,36,37,38 . These efforts have been because the COVID-19 outbreak with a record of country-specific cases put Nigeria also on the global map of countries in strive to defeat this novel coronavirus.…”

Financial system soundness in world economies remains germane, but in the same vein, the COVID-19 outbreak had made governments scampering for any and every solution as experience has shown the need to incentivize businesses to enable economy-wide recovery. In this perspective, consideration of the Nigerian case is made, to re-echo possible collaboration by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and an operationally-associated agency -the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON). This viewpoint shows the role that AMCON could play to recoup extended facilities, in view to ensure financial system soundness, amidst others. Thus, efforts to leverage on this collaboration could aid going forward a fruitful operational effectiveness of so established policy responses.

Cultivated land pressure represents a direct reflection of grain security. Existing relevant studies rarely approached the spatiotemporal pattern of cultivated land pressure or the spatial heterogeneity of its influencing factors from the level of economic zones. Taking the Huaihai Economic Zone (HEZ), China for case analysis, this study investigated the spatiotemporal pattern of cultivated land pressure in diverse periods from 2000 to 2018 based on a modified cultivated land pressure index and spatial correlation models. On this basis, it explored the influencing factors of the spatial differentiation of cultivated land pressure in the late stage of the study using geographical detector as well as multi-scale geographically weighted regression model. The results indicated that: 1) in the study period, the global cultivated land pressure index of the study area decreased gradually, but cultivated land pressure increased locally in a significant way, especially in the central and southern Shandong Province; 2) the spatial pattern of cultivated land pressure manifested global clustering features. Hot and secondary-hot spots presented a narrowing and clustering trend, whereas cold and secondary-cold spots manifested a spreading and clustering trend; 3) average slope, the proportion of non-grain crops, population urbanization rate, and multiple cropping index have significant effects on the spatial differentiation of cultivated land pressure. The former three factors were positively correlated with cultivated land pressure, and the last factor was negatively correlated with cultivated land pressure; and 4) the amount of cultivated land has increased in the central and southern Shandong Province through land consolidation which, nonetheless, failed to improve the grain production. In regards to major grain producing areas similar to the HEZ in China, the authors suggest that great importance should be given to the balance of the quality and quantity of cultivated land, the optimization of agricultural production factors and the rational control of non-grain crops, thus providing a powerful guarantee for grain security in China.
