“…Agricultural technologies usually promoted as supporting pathways to sustainable intensification (SI) include Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and Conservation Agriculture (CA), and Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) (Place et al, 2003;Giller et al, 2015), including agroforestry, carbon benefits, integrated pest management, and ecosystem services (Mbow et al, 2019). Based on Mbow et al (2019) and Xie et al (2019), numerous SI practices can be grouped into 10 approaches and categories depending on their application as explained in the review study of Nciizah et al (2022). The approaches mentioned in their study, include irrigation water management, soil management, increased agricultural system diversity, and integrated pest management among others.…”

Sustainable intensification (SI) of agriculture is required to satisfy the growing populations' nutritional needs, and therefore food security while limiting negative environmental impacts. The study aims to investigate the global scientific output of sustainable intensification research from 2010 to 20 August 2021. The data was retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and was analyzed using a bibliometric method and VOS viewer to determine the most productive countries and organizations by collaboration analysis, including the keywords to analyze the research hotspots and trends, and the most cited publications in the field. From the 1,610 studies published in the theme of sustainable agriculture by 6,346 authors belonging to 1,981 organizations and 115 countries, the study found an increased number of publications and citations in 2020, with 293 publications and 10,275 citations. The United States ranked highest in countries collaborating with the most publications in the field. The occurrence of keywords like “food security”, “climate change”, “agriculture”, “ecosystem services”, “conservation agriculture”, “Sub-Sahara Africa”, “Africa”, “biodiversity”, and “maize” in both author and all keywords (author and index) reveal the significance of sustainable intensification in Africa, as a solution to food insecurity under climate change conditions. The availability of funding agencies from big economies explains the growing interest by developing countries in the SI of agriculture research due to the growing population, food insecurity, and access to limited land for farming.

“…Most RKN species have high plasticity, enabling their establishment in different geographical areas and colonisation of different hosts. Moreover, projections by the intergovernmental panel for climate change indicate that the elevated temperature and moisture may result in an increasing rate of infection, development, and reproduction, causing shifts in their abundance and geographic distribution ( Mbow et al., 2019 ).…”

Considered one of the most devastating plant parasitic nematodes worldwide, Meloidogyne spp. (commonly known as the root-knot nematodes (RKNs)) are obligate sedentary endoparasites that establish in the roots, causing hyperplasia and hypertrophy of surrounding cells, triggering the formation of galls. These galls will affect root development and physiology, leading to substantial yield losses. During 2017–2022, an extensive survey of Meloidogyne species was undertaken in Portugal (mainland and islands). A total of 1,071 samples were collected by the National Plant Protection Organization (DGAV) and private farmers from different regions of the country and were analysed at the Laboratory of Nematology (NemaINIAV). Samples in which the presence of Meloidogyne sp. was detected were used to perform bioassays to obtain females and juveniles for further studies. Since the accurate identification of RKNs is an important aspect of crop management, morphological and biochemical characterisation was performed. The most common morphological features were observed, showing consistency with previous descriptions of the genus. The biochemical identification using the esterase (EST) phenotype revealed the phenotypes of Meloidogyne arenaria, M enterolobi, M. hispanica, M. hapla, M. incognita, M javanica, and M. luci. Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica were found to be the most prevalent species in the different regions followed by M. arenaria and M. hapla. This is the first distribution report performed in Portugal on RKNs, contributing to the development of management strategies and to updated information on the status of these pests in Europe.

“…Of these factors, climate change poses the most serious challenge because it may create water and heat stress, loss of productive lands through the destruction of ecosystems and reduced harvests, which undermine food security by affecting food supply chains (Vermeulen et al , 2012). Consequently, climate change effects on agriculture may play out through the economic system by impacting on food prices, output, productivity, demand, calorie availability and ultimately, human well-being (Mbow et al , 2019; Amikuzuno and Hathie, 2013). The susceptibility of northern Ghana to changing climate is greater than that of the southern part due to its agriculturally unfavorable terrain and agroecological conditions.…”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the perceptions of smallholder farmers on climate change and events and further explores climate change adaptation strategies and associated challenges. The findings provide useful information for enhancing the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers to adjust to climate-related hazards and improve their resilience and disaster preparedness in northern Ghana. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a multistage sampling procedure and sample size of 150 farmers, the Binary Probit Model (BPM), to identify and examine the determinants of climate change adaptation strategies adopted by smallholder farmers. Also, the constraints of adaptation were analyzed using Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. Findings The results from the BPM and statistics of Kendall’s coefficient revealed that the farm risk level, ability to adapt, farmer’s income, age, farming experience, climate change awareness and extension visits were factors that significantly influenced the adaptation strategies of smallholder farmers (in order of importance). The majority (60%) of the farmers ranked farm risk level as the major constraint to adopting climate change strategies. Originality/value The findings of this study enhance understanding on access to relevant and timely climate change adaptation information such as an early warning to farmers during the start of the farming/rainy season to support their adaptive responses to climate change.
