“…Sal Forest ( Shorea roobusta ) in Bangladesh is the most endangered forest due to the expansion of heavy industries, human incursion, and urbanization [ 51 ]. Several investigations were found on Sal Forest regarding management [ 52 ], agroforestry and livelihood [ 53 ], and ecosystems [ 54 ]. A multi-temporal image analysis showed that the Bhowal National Park, Gazipur, a part of the Sal Forest increased the water bodies and settlement by 105 and 369%, respectively from 2005 to 2020 [ 55 ].…”

“…Al cuantificar los factores y ser ubicados en la Matriz McKinsey se logra identificar la estrategia genérica que corresponde a la situación en la que se desarrolla la unidad de negocio. Por lo que, la estrategia genérica obtenida será útil para determinar las rutas adecuadas para superar las posibles dificultades (Mankhin et al, 2023;Fred, 2017;Budiono, 2017). En la subsección 3.1 se describe con mayor nivel de detalle la metodología de la matriz IE y McKinsey.…”

The search for food sovereignty led the Mexican government to implement strategies to encourage local production and consumption. There are, however, products that, despite their quality, present obstacles in their distribution and direct sale or leave little or no profit margin for producers. Understanding and improving the supply chain helps improve this situation. Honey producers in the country face this problem due to the presence of intermediaries and unfair competition from imported products of lower quality and price. Therefore, the objective of this research is to evaluate the internal and external factors that affect the beekeeping supply chain in Jalisco to identify the type of strategies that contribute to overcoming current problems. To do this, a 5-stage methodology is applied: 1) definition of the research question; 2) design of measuring instruments and surveys; 3) application of instruments through the non-probabilistic snowball sampling technique; 4) data analysis; and 5) determination of relevance of the research. The results show the need to define appropriate production and marketing strategies to strengthen organizations and horizontally and vertically integrate the supply chain. Among the conclusions, the need to improve product income stands out through cooperation or configuration of short supply chains, creation of institutions and standardization of comprehensive hive management practices.

This paper explores the role of agroforestry in mitigating climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon in the tropics and subtropics, specifically in the Madhupur Sal forest of Bangladesh. Agroforestry, combining trees with crops on agricultural lands, is recognized for its potential to act as carbon sinks and enhance productivity. The study assesses various agroforestry practices, including Acacia-Pineapple-Turmeric-Papaya, Acacia-Pineapple-Zinger-Banana, and Sal-Pineapple-Aroid combinations. The research reveals improved farm productivity in these agroforestry systems, with different tree species sequestering varying amounts of carbon. Acacia species, ranging from 12 to 25ft in height, sequestered an average of 23.35 lbs/year, while Sal species (Shorea robusta), with trees 45 to 61ft tall, sequestered 49.80 lbs/year on average. Factors such as tree height, diameter at breast height (DBH), number of leaves, and branches influence carbon sequestration. The paper suggests integrating the carbon trading system of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) with Carbon Sequestration (CS) potential to leverage agroforestry for greenhouse gas emission reduction in Bangladesh. By emphasizing the profitability of these practices alongside carbon sequestration, the study encourages the adoption of agroforestry as a sustainable and economically viable strategy for climate change mitigation.
