  1. 1. Is the Climate Changing for the Climate-Smart? A study on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), Resilience and Hunger

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Beata Ekman; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Could the use of CSA practices stabilize the hunger crisis? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices increase farmers' food security, its resilience to climatic shocks is much less understood. To address this gap, this study analyzes the effect of three CSA practices: inorganic fertilization, intercropping and improved seeding on maize productivity in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda.

  3. 2. Is it Smart to be Climate-Smart? The Efficiency of Climate-Smart Agriculture in Tanzania

    Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Författare :Beata Ekman; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Climatic shocks; Climate-Smart Agriculture; Crop Productivity; Tanzania; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Does it pay to adopt Climate-Smart Practices? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices or innovative land management methods increase farmers’ food security, the key to the current debate within the literature is to understand the extent to which CSA practices explain differences in farmers’ productivity and resilience to climatic shocks. To fill this gap, this study examines the variation in crop yields among Tanzanian farmers across three CSA practices: intercropping, inorganic fertilization, and improved seeding. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A Home Among the Gumtrees - Reimagining suburban Sydney for a hotter future

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Författare :Athena Newman-Andrews; [2021]
    Nyckelord :heat; Sydney; climate change; suburban; housing; Australia; urban sprawl; Arts and Architecture;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis started with a desire to delve into the impact that natural disasters have on small communities in an Australian context, how climate change exacerbates their effect, and the role that design can play in mitigating the impact on people and the natural environment. Initial research into bushfires, drought, floods, and heat landed this project in Western Sydney, in an area not far from where I grew up. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Homeownership, the production of urban sprawl and an unexpected Nightingale

    Sammanfattning : Homeownership and suburbanisation are two sides of the same coin in the context of Australia. This thesis explores the housing system that facilitates homeownership under a framework of institutional path dependence and how that has facilitated spatial patterns of suburbanization in contemporary Melbourne.

  7. 5. Pine production comparison : production potential of Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) in the southeastern USA in relation to initial density and forest management

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Forest Resource Management

    Författare :Åsa Ramberg; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Loblolly pine; Slash pine; Scots pine; management intensity; planting density;

    Sammanfattning : The southeastern (SE) United States (US) produces more industrial timber than any other region in the world. Pine plantations in the southern US have increased from 1.8 million acres (728,400 ha) in the beginning of the 1950’s to 32 million acres (13 million ha) in the beginning of the 21st century, and cover 17 % of the forest land.
