“…Pesticide usage in Laos has grown steadily in recent years as many farmers have switched from subsistence farming to commercial production of a range of agricultural commodities for export, including bananas (Fröhlich et al 2013;Phoumanivong and Ayuwat 2013;Bartlett 2016). The average pesticide application rate per unit area of arable land is reported to be much smaller in Laos than in neighboring countries (Schreinemachers et al 2015).…”

“…This is because the commercial variety of banana grown in Laos and most other banana-producing countries, the Cavendish, is vulnerable to a host of pests and diseases (dela Cruz et al 2008;Newley et al 2008;Jones 2009). Also, high-density monocrop planting regimes common among commercial banana farms increase the risk of pest outbreaks and can deplete soil nutrient stocks (Hernandez and Witter 1996;Fröhlich et al 2013;Marín et al 2003). A large variety of pesticides are deployed in banana farms to prevent crop damage from fungal and insect outbreaks.…”

The publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects-from computer modeling to experience with water user associations-and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overviews of generic problems.Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff, and by external reviewers. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMIThe International Water Management Institute (IWMI) is an international, research-for-development organization that works with governments, civil society and the private sector to solve water problems in developing countries and scale up solutions. Through partnership, IWMI combines research on the sustainable use of water and land resources, knowledge services and products with capacity strengthening, dialogue and policy analysis to support implementation of water management solutions for agriculture, ecosystems, climate change and inclusive economic growth. Headquartered in Colombo, Sri Lanka, IWMI is a CGIAR Research Center and leads the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE). www.iwmi.org

“…Sociology and other scholarly disciplines that engage in research into physical space and local communities through the prism of potential implementation of sustainable development strategies are rooted in the very concept of sustainable development in the sense of theory and practice (Steer and Wade-Gery, 1993;van den Bergh, 1996;Baker, 2006;Merlan and Raftery, 2009;Zhelezov, 2011;Fröhlich et al, 2013;Holden et al, 2014). Although this concept, which the global scholarly community has been debating since the 1970s, and since the 1990s in Croatia, has been subjected to criticism in recent years, sustainable development and integral sustainability remain fundamental developmental criteria, springing forth from the holistic principle of wholeness (Lay, 2007) as attested by contemporary literature (Constanza et al, 2013;van Wijk, 2013;Komiyama, 2014;Waage and Yap, 2015;Göpel, 2016).…”

Sustainable tourism is a carefully planned activity with clear, specifi c and long-term goals that does not cause environmental devastation, and respects the social, ecological, cultural and economic value of the space in which it occurs. Th is paper presents the (un)sustainable rural tourism practice in Lika-Senj County in Croatia through a case study of the Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch and Plitvice Lakes. In order to understand the concepts of sustainable rural tourism, overtourism and undertourism, the case study begins with an analysis of statistical data, secondary literature and examples of overtourism in Lika (Plitvice Lakes National Park). Qualitative insight (preliminary data) is used to refl ect on the Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch campaign called CIDER (Community, Integrity, Development, Evolution and Responsibility), which can be considered as the point of departure for the enhancement of undertourism development.

“…Of these, ∼26% were classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as classes Ib (highly hazardous) and II (moderately hazardous) (Thailand Department of Agriculture, 2021). Thailand's increase in pesticide use can mainly be attributed to rising herbicide applications, of which glyphosate and paraquat (which have been restricted in several countries but not in Thailand) accounted for 53% of all use in 2010 (Fröhlich et al, 2013).…”

Rising demand for off-season durian production in Thailand has led to increased agrichemical use and potential environmental and health concerns. In this study, we surveyed 117 farmers and collected water samples from 11 villages in Krungching Sub-district. Overall, 108 agrochemicals were listed as being used in off-season durian production, but we focused on residual concentrations of the persistent herbicides glyphosate and paraquat in surface water. We applied a pollution release and transfer registry for 2016 to determine an application rate of 288,149 kg/year for these agrichemicals. These were primarily detected during the dry season, and not the wet season. This reporting system can be used to develop seasonal environmental surveillance and monitoring tools for more sustainable use of agrochemical substances in off-season durian production in environmentally sensitive areas such as the Krungching River watershed, especially during the first stage of cultivation (dry season), in order to ensure the use of agricultural chemicals under appropriate circumstances. Further studies are needed to better understand the full diversity of persistent agrochemical substance usage and disposal, in order to reorient agricultural activities to focus on local needs and capabilities as part of efforts to implement more sustainable agriculture in Thailand.
