Risk groups in soil-transmitted helminths are often considered by age and gender, but other factors may also come into play. For example, work conditions. This study in Nigeria analyses the prevalence of STH in agrarian communities, a recently suggested risk group. Read the results here: https://lnkd.in/dGcnyjUp

Urban population growth is increasingly threatening farming as private developers seize land to meet the rising demand for housing. In the Ashanti Region, for instance, vegetable farms are gradually disappearing as private developers acquire land, leaving farmers—already struggling with harsh living conditions—in despair. In this report, Channel One News' Ashanti Regional correspondent, Doris Lonta, explores how this trend may impede Ghana's progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) 1 and 2, which aim to eradicate poverty and hunger by 2030.

Good insights well done on sharing this informative article Dr. Wayne Malinga (PhD) This really helped me understand the complexities of La Niña and its effects on our environment.I found the insights on La Niña's influence on agriculture particularly interesting.#Thediscourseofclimatechange#Climatechangeconversations#

I am elated to have shared my opinion on the Financial Gazette concerning the predicted La Nina in Southern Africa particularly Zimbabwe. My first reflection was to reitarate that the La Nina phenomenon has already been forecasted by scientists through climate modelling and projections. Unlike the El Nino event characterised by high temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns, this event culminates in normal and above normal rainfall patterns. Water access and availability is predicted to improveb in Zimbabwe bringing much relief to the continued dry spell experienced in the country that resulted in alarming levels of water scarcity. However, it is imperative that as a country we prepare ourselves to deal with the eventualities of climate related disasters such as flooding that are largely characterised by La Nina. This has detrimental consequences on agriculture,water resources and overall community well being. Above and beyond, we should mutual benefits from the La Nina that are expected to rescue communities from their low agricultural yields experienced in the previous season through favourable growing conditions. Other benefits include water resource recharge, biodiversity support, reduced pest and disease pressure and an opportunity for adaptation. Secondly, the La Nina is predicted to bring about economic strain associated with agricultural losses due to extreme flooding destroying crops. However, on the positive side the economic performance is expected to improve due to increased agricultural production. Moreover, this is also likely to boost local economies while providing more food security. The surplus agricultural production is likely to open up export markets contributing to foreign exchange earnings and strengthening the economy. #climatechange #agriculture #water #economicdevelopment

Preventing Sustenance: Israel’s Attacks on Gaza’s Agriculture as a Genocidal Tactic #Linkedin Empirical facts are not in any violation of your policies & guidelines. Please we urge you to apply ethical discerning judgement, fairness & non-discriminatory practices as embedded in your corporate ethos when reviewing posts that are reported. In Gaza, typically vibrant with summer crops, Israeli attacks have devastated agricultural lands crucial for feeding the population. A UN report reveals 96% face food insecurity, with 495,000 at risk of starvation. Satellite images show 60% of Gaza’s farmland damaged or destroyed.

Is Obajana Already the Next Niger Delta? 🌍 🚛 With road shoulders taken over by parked trailers, roadsides filled with litter, traffic slow or gridlocked, and emissions in the air, I couldn’t help but wonder if Obajana is already the next Niger Delta. Economists are familiar with the concept of negative externalities and their wahala. The goose that lays the golden egg deserves good care, don’t you think? 🥚✨ I am DrX, your EconomicsExplainer. #EconomicsExplained #Obajana #NigerDelta #NegativeExternalities #EnvironmentalImpact #TrafficCongestion #EconomicIssues #Sustainability #PublicHealth #EconomicsExplainer #GoldenEgg #Infrastructure #Pollution #CommunityCare #Economics #Nigeria

Water resource governance should be inclusive not only women and men but other diverse groups
This image, recently reposted by Taku Mushamba crediting the World Bank, reminded me of a decades-old paper called “Is He the Farmer or the Farmer’s Husband?" It highlighted the lessons on rural women's capacity and decision-making in agriculture from a soil and water conservation project in Zimbabwe in the 1990s. A memorable proverb quoted in the paper goes, "Although the cock crows to announce that it is daylight, it does not mean that the hen has not realized it." It is not too much of a stretch to draw parallels with the movie The Wife. Find the paper here: https://lnkd.in/dMrhesgC

its so glaring that Agriculture is the only way out of our present economic predicament in this country, apparently the crude oil is not sustainable in driving the economy or maybe its being mismanaged, cutting a long story short Agriculture is the way to go.

Why We Should Embrace Agriculture as a Sustainable Economy in Nigeria💡. Agriculture is one of the best ways to build a sustainable economy. In the undulating landscapes of our nation, Nigeria, I find myself immersed in the fertile fields of hope, sowing seeds not just for today but for the generations yet to come. This is what agriculture means to me—it sows seeds today so the future generation can harvest. As the wise Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, aptly puts it, "The next millionaires and billionaires of Africa will come initially from agriculture." These words, laden with foresight, should beckon us to pay attention and recognize the vast potential lying dormant in the fields of our homeland. Regrettably, only a few have truly grasped the profound essence of this statement. In the foreword of my upcoming book, "My Journey: Facts About my Life and Practicable Actions to Help you Live a More Fulfilled Life", I expounded upon the significance of agriculture, emphasizing how it is not merely a means of creating great men but of nurturing a great country. The pages of my narrative unfold the story of a vision that surpasses personal gain, focusing on the collective prosperity that agriculture can bestow upon our people. I hope 2024 serves as a call to action for the government to pay more attention to agriculture in Nigeria. #businesstips #sustainableeconomy #agriculture #financenews #abimbolaolashore #latestauthor

So true, still! Innovative contextual strategies for including, mobilizing, sensitizing, women to represent themselves in policy making, is essential! It is a global issue in agriculture and natural resource management-not global south or global north!

2021 CAADP Biennial Review Brief – Zimbabwe! The third BR reveals that Zimbabwe is not on track for achieving the Malabo Declaration Commitments. However, an improvement in the country’s overall performance score since the second BR cycle has been noted. This progress from the second to the third BR represents a turnaround from the decline the country registered between the first and second BRs. A key recommendation from the analysis is for the country to enhance its access to agricultural technologies to improve yields and production. The country should review its involvement in agricultural commodity markets to ensure government actions promote, rather than hinder, the competitiveness of the sector.

🌊 Insightful Session on the Potential of Water Economics in Pakistan 🌊 I had the privilege of attending an engaging session by Dr. Hassan Abbas at TheBlackHole on the "Potential of Water Economics in Pakistan." Key takeaways included: A deep dive into the uniqueness and robustness of the Indus Basin and its river systems. The importance of data availability and usage in policy-making for sustainable water management. Insightful discussions on challenges in Pakistan's water system and future scenarios. Proposed solutions for Balochistan's water issues through community involvement and stakeholder collaboration. Innovative ideas for economic growth by utilizing the Indus flow and reviving its historic legacy. Dr. Abbas gave us a powerful thought: "Water is heavier than oil." 💧 It was an enriching experience filled with practical recommendations and lively Q&A discussions. 🚀 #WaterEconomy #Sustainability #IndusRiver #EconomicGrowth #WaterManagement #Pakistan #Balochistan
