The growth of organic farming practices in the last few decades is continuing to stimulate the international debate about this alternative food market. As a p art of a PhD project r esearch about embeddedness in Alternative Food Networks (AFNs), this paper focuses on the promotional aspects of organic farms websites from the Madrid region. As a theoretical tool, some knowledge categories drawn ...

Climate change is increasing water scarcity in Sri Lanka. Whether these changes will undermine national-level food security depends upon the ability of the small-scale farmers that dominate rice production and the institutions that support them to overcome the challenges presented by changing water availability. Analyzing household survey data, this research identifies household, institutional,...

Covid-19 has an impact on the agricultural sector and farmers so that it affects their cultivation, marketing income processes, thereby changing farmers’ behaviour to survive maintain availability of staple food. The purpose this study is find out characteristics rice analyse adaptation suburban influence farming during pandemic. This research using qualitative with a case approach at Sukabakti...

Rainfed farmers are among the most vulnerable farming communities to climate change in Pakistan because of heavy reliance crop on rain and farmers’ livelihoods farming. The best timely responses against suitable adaptation measures. Accurately perceiving risks associated with is an essential factor for planning then implementing adaptations. Using farm household-level data 400 rainfed collected...

Development of alternative livelihoods has become a popular policy to uplift the socioeconomic status of small-scale fishers and to reduce fishing pressure on overexploited fisheries. Seaweed farming has been incorporated into many community-based coastal resources management projects and fisheries management initiatives as an alternative livelihood option for fishers in tropical developing cou...

Climate change has caused substantial losses, especially to smallholder farmers whose main source of livelihood is derived from agriculture. impacts can be reduced by enhancing coping and adaptation strategies. This study explores the strategies farming communities in Limpopo Province, South Africa. As part assessment analysis drought, multiple sources data were consulted, including 200 househo...

Using transgenic plants for the production of high-value recombinant proteins for industrial and clinical applications has become a promising alternative to using conventional bioproduction systems, such as bacteria, yeast, and cultured insect and animal cells. This novel system offers several advantages over conventional systems in terms of safety, scale, cost-effectiveness, and the ease of di...

Fishes farmed in sea pens may become infested by parasites from wild fishes and in turn become point sources for parasites. Sea lice, copepods of the family Caligidae, are the best-studied example of this risk. Sea lice are the most significant parasitic pathogen in salmon farming in Europe and the Americas, are estimated to cost the world industry euro300 million a year and may also be pathoge...

Purpose: Little information is available on joint kinematic adaptations during walking on cross-slope surfaces (i.e. a surface incline perpendicular to the direction of locomotion). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cross-slope surfaces on three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of hip, knee, and ankle joints during stance phase of walking.  Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study...
