“…Environmental change and security is a critical field of research that explores the interconnections between environmental change, health, population dynamics, conflicts and foreign policy. The state-of-the-art research in this area has shed light on the complex relationships and feedback loops between environmental degradation, human security and social stability (Entwisle, 2021). It highlights how environmental stressors, such as climate change, deforestation and resource scarcity, can exacerbate conflicts, displacement and vulnerabilities in communities.…”

The global resilience nexus: Forging a sustainable future presents a groundbreaking framework designed to enhance global resilience through interconnected components. At its core is the cultivation of inclusive community networks, fostering collaboration, engagement and collective action. By uniting policymakers, practitioners and community members, the framework facilitates the co-creation of robust solutions. Knowledge sharing and mapping play a pivotal role, enabling the exchange of best practices, lessons learned and inventive ideas. This aids in identifying knowledge gaps, directing resilience-building efforts and fostering a culture of mutual learning and cooperation. The framework explored the intricate relationship between climate change and migration, focusing on vulnerable regions like Puerto Rico, Haiti, Senegal, Moldova and Bangladesh. By delving into the experiences of these communities, it aimed to devise strategies addressing challenges in environmental change, population dynamics, human security and public policy. The goal was to amplify adaptive capacities, reduce vulnerabilities and foster sustainable solutions for climate-induced migration and host communities. Acknowledging the pivotal role of minerals in the transition to renewable energy and the digital economy, the framework confronted associated risks like environmental degradation and social disparities. Through cross-regional and cross-sectoral stakeholder dialogues, it fostered consensus-building for policies that advance a more resilient supply chain, emphasizing environmental, social and governance considerations. Another facet addressed the convergences of environmental change, security and conflicts, scrutinizing how environmental stressors contribute to conflicts and human insecurity. The framework examined the role of sustainable environmental practices in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, aiming to cultivate a more resilient and peaceful world. Finally, it tackled global food insecurity exacerbated by climate change, inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. Recognizing the need to fortify agricultural systems and enhance access to nutritious food, it aimed to amplify resilience through sustainable agriculture practices, innovative food production methods and inclusive policies, ensuring food sovereignty for all.

“…The aim was to optimize individual animal contributions, achieving efficiency in livestock farming at low costs and environmental footprints, while ensuring the quality and safety of livestock products [7]. Consequently, PLF, amid environmental changes [8], resource scarcity [9], and inadequate agricultural labor [10], is poised to emerge as a significant trend and developmental direction in the field of livestock farming [11].…”

Acquiring phenotypic data from livestock constitutes a crucial yet cumbersome phase in the breeding process. Traditionally, obtaining livestock phenotypic data primarily involves manual, on-body measurement methods. This approach not only requires extensive labor but also induces stress on animals, which leads to potential economic losses. Presently, the integration of next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI), visual processing, intelligent sensing, multimodal fusion processing, and robotic technology is increasingly prevalent in livestock farming. The advantages of these technologies lie in their rapidity and efficiency, coupled with their capability to acquire livestock data in a non-contact manner. Based on this, we provide a comprehensive summary and analysis of the primary advanced technologies employed in the non-contact acquisition of livestock phenotypic data. This review focuses on visual and AI-related techniques, including 3D reconstruction technology, body dimension acquisition techniques, and live animal weight estimation. We introduce the development of livestock 3D reconstruction technology and compare the methods of obtaining 3D point cloud data of livestock through RGB cameras, laser scanning, and 3D cameras. Subsequently, we explore body size calculation methods and compare the advantages and disadvantages of RGB image calculation methods and 3D point cloud body size calculation methods. Furthermore, we also compare and analyze weight estimation methods of linear regression and neural networks. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future trends of non-contact livestock phenotypic data acquisition. Through emerging technologies like next-generation AI and computer vision, the acquisition, analysis, and management of livestock phenotypic data are poised for rapid advancement.

The role of the environment within a constellation of interacting causal factors shaping mobility—the example of three oases in Northern Africa

Northern Africa’s oases are fragile agroecosystems that, through environmental limitations on agricultural development, such as insufficient amounts of water for irrigation, have had to face a profound transformation of the environment on which livelihoods depend. A common strategy in such a situation is mobility. Though mobility responds to similar environmental limitations, the varying economic, social, demographic, and political contexts lead to divergent forms of it. Based on the mixed-method research conducted in the three oases located on the edge of the Sahara Desert (Mhamid in Morocco, El Faouar, and El Ferch in Tunisia), this paper explores the complex interplay of environmental and non-environmental factors shaping mobility. It highlights the need for a contextualization analysis of the mobility-environment nexus, illustrating how different factors’ constellations make mobility part of adaptation, coping, or escape strategies. The results reveal the dynamics of intertwined factors influencing mobility in the oases, sometimes dominated by environmental factors, other times by economic ones, and so forth. This makes their residents subject to fluid categorisation as environmental migrants, and the mobility-environmental nexus itself is highly complex.
