“…Notably, the introduction of trees or shrubs into agroforestry systems significantly enhances carbon storage in comparison with monoculture systems, a point underscored by Sharrow and Ismail (2004) and Kirby and Potvin (2007). However, there is also threat of an uneven distribution of the ecosystem benefits received by the countries for protecting the natural environment (Giri et al., 2022).…”

Agroforestry in Nepal is a multifaceted and sustainable approach that harmonizes agricultural, environmental, and socioeconomic goals. This study conducted a comprehensive review of agroforestry systems in Nepal, emphasizing their impact on food security, rural livelihoods, and environmental sustainability. By bridging research gaps and highlighting environmental advantages, it provides valuable insights for evidence‐based policymaking, making it a significant resource for Nepal and beyond. The study employed a comprehensive desktop review methodology using a PRISMA Flow Diagram for data collection and utilized academic databases to include literature related to agroforestry practices, their impacts, and associated socioeconomic and environmental aspects. Agroforestry systems in Nepal offer a comprehensive approach to sustainable agriculture, economic empowerment, and environmental conservation while enhancing resilience to climate change. While these systems provide multiple benefits, including enhanced soil quality and increased carbon sequestration, they also face challenges related to technical knowledge and market access. To fully harness the potential of agroforestry and address food (SDG 2), and energy security, and land degradation, bridging the gap between researchers and farmers, promoting information dissemination, and establishing support mechanisms are essential. Aligning with government strategies and international initiatives can pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future for Nepal's rural communities and environment.

“…It is noteworthy that, with an appropriate review in distinct fields of health, it is possible to outline different real situations, such as the situation after one year of Covid-19 (Garcia et al 2021), understanding the payment for ecosystem services and associated challenges (Giri et al 2022), or the impact of stress on the fertility of cattle (Chawicha and Mummed 2022). Thus, with a literature review of a significant metric such as DEA in Latin America, it is possible to present points already addressed and others subject to exploration.…”

The pursuit of enhanced efficiency in healthcare organizations prompts the need for reevaluating performance evaluation methodologies and implementing organizational improvement models. In this regard, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) emerges as a valuable tool for gauging the efficiency and performance of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) within specific interest groups, particularly within the healthcare sector. Nonetheless, a comprehensive DEA survey specifically focused on the Latin American healthcare domain remains absent. Recognizing the significance of identifying existing approaches and devising novel ones, the present study aims to analyze a systematic review made of papers that use DEA as an approach for efficiency analysis Latin America's health sector. The methodology encompasses three distinct stages. Firstly, an extensive literature search was performed, initially employing relevant keywords and subsequently exploring the reference sections of identified papers. Secondly, a meticulous examination of the selected papers was conducted, entailing both a descriptive analysis of the findings and an individual evaluation of each paper. Lastly, based on the identified research gaps, proposals for DEA applications were formulated. A total of 65 studies were identified and subjected to scrutiny, shedding light on their limitations and revealing diverse methodologies employed in examining the healthcare sector. The findings indicate the potential for further exploration of this subject, including the integration of DEA with complementary tools in other Latin American countries and different facets of the healthcare domain. Future research should build upon the insights provided by the existing literature, thereby introducing innovative approaches and contributing to the advancement of academic knowledge in this field.
