AI Article Synopsis
- Floods, droughts, and frost create significant challenges for agriculture, impacting farmers and their crops.
- Subsidised crop insurance is a key strategy that helps farmers better handle these extreme weather events, particularly in regions where such events are more common, like the South.
- The article suggests that current agricultural policies should be reformed to adopt a more comprehensive approach to risk management, focusing on overall resilience rather than just insurance.
Article Abstract
Flood, drought, and frost may be disruptive events for agriculture. The subsidised crop insurance schemes are coping strategies that increase farms resilience to weather shocks and in fact the occurrence of extreme weather events and the level of subsidised crop insurance are correlated. Stronger evidence is found in Southern geographical areas, where drought (a major risking risk) is more frequent, and for spring-summer crops, that are less resilient to weather shocks. The article points at the need to reform extant policies to move toward a holistic approach for risk management.

Bacterial infection risk in work environments has been extensively reported for healthcare workers, while this risk is rarely researched in other occupations. This study aimed to identify occupational environments in Taiwan's agricultural and healthcare industries with elevated bacterial infection risks by comparing risks for general bacterial infections and pneumonia.

Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is an escalating humanitarian issue and a conservation concern. In terms of protection and management, areas at high risk of HWC are not necessarily afforded the same resources as areas prioritized for protection. To improve allocation of limited protection resources and HWC mitigation efficiency, we determined management priorities based on HWC risk and people's attitudes toward wildlife around the Giant Panda National Park.

Article Synopsis
- Human-wildlife conflicts in western Nepal, particularly involving elephants, leopards, and tigers, lead to human casualties and a negative perception of conservation efforts.
- A study analyzed 76 incidents of human deaths and injuries from 2019 to 2023, finding that tigers were responsible for 75% of attacks, predominantly occurring near forest edges during the day.
- To improve coexistence, strategies such as community patrols, habitat restoration, electric fencing, and insurance for local farmers were recommended to mitigate future conflicts.
