Findings relating to the level of awareness of agricultural radio programmes in the three selected states show that more farmers in Nasarawa State are aware of agricultural programmes than those from the other states.
This knowledge encompasses information about the local environment, including farming patterns, soil types, weather patterns, and other natural resources. Such indigenous agricultural practices are valuable methods, and these communities have illustrated the effectiveness, adaptability, and ways in which these adopted methods promote sustainable environmental management.
The research questions explore the recent progress and technological advancements in Wireless Power Transfer (WPT), the reflection of global engagement within the WPT community through publication trends and geographical distribution, and the alignment of thematic clusters with SDG goals. Questions also investigate the contribution of AI to WPT, challenges and barriers to WPT adoption revealed by bibliometric analysis, ways WPT technology can democratize technology access in marginalized regions, and specific recommendations to ensure WPT technologies effectively accelerate progress towards achieving a broader set of SDGs.
This article supports SDGs 13, 15 and SDG 11 by exploring the utilization of soil microbe based desertification management practices and highlighting emerging technologies in the field. It discusses the policy implications and strategies that can support sustainable land use practices.
The study forecasts AI-based innovation's impact on SDGs in 22 countries from 2022 to 2030 using System Dynamics Modeling. In most of the 22 countries studied, AI-based innovation positively affects SDGs 1, 3, and 5. For half of the countries studied, AI-based innovation positively influences SDGs 2, 4, 6–8, 11, 13, and 16–17. AI-based innovation does not positively influence SDGs 10, 12, 14–15 for most countries studied.
The research highlights how, for Indigenous people across the globe, being connected to traditional lands and histories continues to be of paramount importance. To document this connection on one river system in the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, the researchers have compiled archaeological evidence from 14 settlements occupied between 3,000 years ago and the early 20th century.
This research provides an ethnographic review of hunter-gatherers' profound relationships with trees, today and into the deep past. In the modern west we sometimes ignore our profound human relationship with trees.
