It is intended to be user-friendly and provide quick overviews and advice to policymakers.
Europe has experienced a high rate of land consumption, with artificial land cover increasing by 3.4% between 2000 and 2006. While artificial land makes up only 4% of the EU's total area, urban development and infrastructure have affected over a quarter of EU territory. As more people live in urban areas, urban sprawl has become an issue as cities and towns expand in a scattered way across the countryside. Land is a finite resource that is critical for food production and ecosystem health, so sustainable land use and management of competing demands is important for environmental objectives.

Land health surveillance and agroforestry in support of land restoration in A...World Agroforestry (ICRAF)
Land health surveillance and agroforestry can support land restoration in Africa by developing methods to measure and monitor land health over time. This will help target interventions to improve ecosystem health and human well-being. Opportunities for restoration include over 1.5 billion hectares of suitable land for restoring mosaic landscapes in Africa using forests, trees and agroforestry. Restoration should be tailored to context and address drivers of degradation, objectives, stakeholders, appropriate approaches, incentives and multi-party management. Cost-effective monitoring using technologies like soil spectroscopy can track land and soil condition and the impacts of restoration efforts.

This document outlines strategies for realizing a global restoration movement. It notes that 48% of forests and 33% of agricultural soils are degraded. Restoration of forests, agroforestry, and sustainable agriculture/farming can help restore degraded land and provide benefits like improved water, air, biodiversity, carbon storage, wood/forest products, livelihoods, and food/soil fertility. Case studies from countries like China, Niger, Latin America show restoration successes at large scales. Strategies to scale up restoration include engaging stakeholders, developing landscape-level scaling strategies, mobilizing finance through risk capital and debt finance, monitoring progress, and building strategic partnerships.

This document discusses the potentials and challenges of agroforestry and REDD+ in Africa. It summarizes that agroforestry can help minimize deforestation by diversifying incomes from fruit trees and commodity crops. It can also help tackle forest degradation through on-farm timber production. However, enabling factors are needed, including investment, technical support, secure land and tree tenure, market access, and appropriate taxation systems. The document outlines challenges such as initial costs, insecure land tenure, lack of proper valuation of tree products, and constraining regulations. It emphasizes that agroforestry has great potential to reduce pressure on forests in Africa if these challenges can be addressed.
This document discusses climate change adaptation efforts in the Congo Basin region of Central Africa. While mitigation efforts have focused mainly on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), the region is already experiencing impacts from climate change like changing temperatures and rainfall patterns. The CoFCCA (Congo Basin Forest and Climate Change Adaptation) program was established to develop adaptation strategies for forests and local communities by identifying vulnerable sectors, building stakeholder capacity, and demonstrating pilot adaptation projects. Key challenges include integrating adaptation into existing forest and development policies, addressing the needs of vulnerable groups, and documenting adaptation best practices for the region.

This document discusses the science-policy interface for socioecological restoration. It addresses several challenges including conveying a sense of loss from degradation, the different perspectives stakeholders have on threats, and the various drivers influencing the need to restore land. The document presents several restoration scenarios that could be taken in Colombia, such as restoring wilderness areas, protected lands, indigenous territories, wetlands, agricultural lands, mining sites, and cities. It argues that governing restoration will require institutional innovation and new social agreements between stakeholders. Restoration is a social and political process that challenges definitions of nature and requires priorities and solutions that work for multiple groups.

Reconciling food production, forest conservation and landscape restoration in...IIED
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for reconciling food production, forest conservation, and landscape restoration in Ethiopia. It notes that agricultural expansion has been the primary driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss in Ethiopia, with 70% of new agricultural land coming at the expense of forests between 2001-2012. While Ethiopia has ambitious plans to increase food production and restore forests by 2030, there are tensions between these targets and historical trends of rapid deforestation. Key challenges include sectoral divisions in government, disconnects between scales of land use planning, and short-term incentives that prioritize agricultural conversion over forest protection. Overcoming these political economic barriers will be vital for Ethiopia to achieve sustainable land use and development.

Peatlands and GHG emissions: Peatlands and GHG emissionsNNCS_COP21
Peatlands store twice as much carbon as forests, yet 15% of global peatlands have been drained, releasing carbon emissions. Key countries with high emissions from drained peatlands include Indonesia, where peatland degradation accounts for 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions, and countries in the European Union where peatlands make up only 2% of agricultural land but produce 75% of agricultural emissions. An atlas being developed will identify peatland hotspots to target finance and programs for large-scale restoration, with the goal of shifting practices from unsustainable to net positive impact.
The document describes a crop mix optimization model to analyze the impacts of climate change on Egypt's cropping patterns. The model maximizes net revenue from crop production under constraints like land and water availability. It is used to project Egypt's optimal crop mix from the base year 2013 to 2030 under different climate change scenarios. Key inputs to the model like crop prices, yields and costs are projected based on historical data analysis and climate impact assessments. The outputs, like the projected cropping area and self-sufficiency in wheat, are analyzed at national and regional levels to inform agricultural planning under climate change.
This document provides an overview and agenda for a training on using the EX-ACT tool to quantify greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The training objectives are to explain carbon accounting concepts, apply the EX-ACT tool to sample projects, and analyze EX-ACT results.

The HHALTER project was a multi-disciplinary One Health collaboration studying the risk of Hendra virus to horse owners in Australia. It involved surveys and interviews with horse owners over 24 months to understand significant issues like the novel Hendra vaccine's low uptake, permit conditions, vet-owner relationships, and risk perception. The project brought together experts from universities, government agencies, and non-profits to take a holistic One Health approach to the zoonotic Hendra virus, which emerged in 1994 and can infect both horses and humans in rare cases through close contact.
This paper proposes an interdisciplinary matrix tool to help evaluate One Health initiatives in a more holistic and interdisciplinary way. The matrix maps inputs (starting points) and outputs (effects) across different health sectors to better understand complex problems and relationships. It is being tested by the Network for Evaluation of One Health, an interdisciplinary group working to develop a One Health evaluation framework through collaborative teamwork routines. The goal is to help break down disciplinary silos and integrate diverse perspectives in evaluating One Health programs and policies.
One Health is an emerging field that takes a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to addressing threats at the animal-human-environment interface. The 3rd GRF One Health Summit in October 2015 brought together perspectives from different disciplines and sectors regarding One Health.

This document discusses how clinical decisions are made within complex environments that include psychological, socio-economic, and biomedical factors. It notes that decisions should consider perspectives from the individual to public health to the ecosystem. The document warns against an "ethical trap" of solely focusing on solving a patient's medical condition, and argues that patients/owners should make weighted ethical decisions accounting for impacts on themselves, family, society, global population, and environment. It proposes using life cycle analysis and scaled cost-benefit analysis to evaluate impacts of drugs, medical interventions, and behavioral changes. The document suggests decision models and education on ethical decision making could help address what is currently missing from clinical decisions in a One Health context.

THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH DROUGH...Julius Huho
The economy of Kenya is based on agriculture which in turn depends on rainfall performance. Over 80 percent of the Kenyan population relies on rain-fed agriculture as a livelihood source. Unfortunately, changes in its amount, timing and distribution in the last two decades have influenced the reliability of rainfall for agricultural purposes. The consequence has been recurrent food insecurity in most parts of the country and chronic in the arid and semi arid areas due to frequent droughts. To survive the harsh climatic conditions, the affected communities employ various adaptive strategies. The current study examined the drought adaptive strategies employed by subsistence farmers in the semi arid areas of Kenya in relation to mitigating climate change. Data was obtained from Mukogodo and Central Divisions of Laikipia County, Kenya. Time series was used to analyze rainfall trends. Data on effects of droughts and adaptive strategies was obtained through in-depth interviews. The inhabitants were aware of climate change with 90% and 10% of the respondents attributing the changes to human activities and divine forces, respectively. Rainfall showed a declining trend in Mukogodo Division but an increasing trend in Central Division. Nevertheless, the timing of the "long rains" and the length of the growing season in Central Division showed considerable changes. The consequences were food insecurity and livelihood destruction in the area. The adaptive strategies employed aimed at cushioning farmers against immediate problems but with minimal consideration of climate change mitigation. This paper highlights on the opportunities and challenges of mitigating climate change that farmers had through their day-to-day adaptive strategies.

Rainwater Harvesting for Agriculture: Supplemental Irrigation to Improve the ...Sévère FOSSI
Abstract:
In Burkina Faso, agriculture is mainly rainfed, thus highly climate dependent. In order to face climate increasing variability,supplemental irrigation fromponds can improve farm resilience to dry spells. The practice is increasingly accepted by farmers and the government is subsidizing the construction of thousands ponds in the country. This paperis based on a literature review, field surveys and field experiments. Supplemental irrigation improves yields by 25%. The early start of the campaign may be wedged since the first rains from the second decade of May, by keeping animals in sheds and under the condition of a period not longer than twenty days, between the first rains able to fill the pond and the actual start of the rainy season. According to the agro-climatic zone and the quality of the sealing of the pond, water can be stored between 30 and 90 days after the last rains, allowing extending the campaign with a second crop.
Restoring agriculture and food sector aftermath of Great Tohoku and Fukushima...Prabhakar SVRK
This document proposes measures to restore agriculture and food sectors in areas affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan. It recommends both immediate and long-term measures. Immediate measures include damage assessments, establishing restoration committees, and providing relief. Long-term measures involve strengthening institutions, capacity, and policies to support food production and distribution. Specific recommendations include redeploying agriculture in areas with different radiation and salinity levels, strengthening extension services and communities' disaster preparedness, and integrating radiation safety standards and monitoring into the food system. The goal is to safely restart agriculture and ensure a stable food supply in the affected regions.

The document discusses concepts related to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply. It introduces the concepts of risk assessment, resilience management, security of supply, sustainability, and multi-criteria decision analysis. It then presents a case study from the EU SECURE project that used these concepts to evaluate policy scenarios according to various environmental, economic, social, and security indicators. The study found that global climate policy scenarios generally performed best, though they were vulnerable to certain shocks like nuclear accidents or carbon capture failures. Overall policies that reduced fossil fuel use and led to greater diversification of energy sources and imports improved sustainability and security.

1) The document analyzes data from surveys of Syrian refugees in Turkey to understand their choices regarding returning to Syria, staying in Turkey, or migrating elsewhere.
2) It finds that as the duration of living as a refugee increases, the probability of returning to Syria decreases significantly, while the likelihood of migrating to another country increases.
3) Refugees who experienced greater damage, losses, or deaths due to the war in Syria are less likely to return and more likely to migrate internationally in search of asylum.

8. The situation of agriculture in Japan, especially rice production
○ Small scaled structure and aging of farmers
Decline in demand due to change of diet, stable population and aging
⇒Overproduction and lower prices
⇒Low profitability in rice production
Trade agreement negotiation on Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
⇒ Future reduction or elimination of tariff barriers on agricultural products
3) Agriculture in the area affected by the nuclear disaster
9. How does small scaled farming continue to exist in rice production?
Group farming system in rice production created by small scaled farmers
⇒Collective investment in machinery
⇒Crop rotation in a village scale
⇒Profit sharing among members

15. Agricultural reconstruction and development passing through aged farmers
From the period prior to the disaster, Japanese agriculture have been characterized by
its small scale and aging.
Therefore, principal objective of agricultural policy is to enlarge farm business size and
to promote core famers.
Agricultural reconstruction policies proposed by the government have sought;
to enlarge farm business size rapidly, to improve competitiveness and to construct a model
for next generation agriculture (Master plan of agricultural and rural reconstruction, 2011).
The Fukushima local government has expressed;
agricultural reconstruction in the areas under evacuation orders should demonstrate a
completely new model of agriculture and establish a new frontier of Japanese agriculture.
(Vision for Revitalization in Fukushima Prefecture, 2011)

Agriculture and Rural Areas in Japan. 2013, 2014.
What is a model for next generation agriculture ?
For example, high technology and enlarged farmland…
17. Concluding remarks:
-Can aged farmers be actors for “Build Back Better”-
There are (many…?) aged farmers who want to try to restart small scale rice
production and subsistence agriculture.
How we make their willingness realized would be crucial for locally effective recovery
and reconstruction.
Not only the agricultural reconstruction in line with industrial policies, but we need to
think of agricultural activities within the usual lifestyle.
