In 2023, the female slaughter rate (FSR) in the United States is 51.5%, suggesting that the US cattle herd is still destocking. At the same time, overall slaughter in the US is down 28% for the year-to-date, as overall female slaughter has declined at roughly the same rate as bull and steer slaughter. This means that while production in the United States has dropped, it will likely continue falling for the next several years. Parts of the US remain in drought or have not received enough rain to begin repairing pasture, and high cattle prices are incentivising producers to sell cattle to repair balance sheets after several years of relatively low prices.

Drained peat soils in Denmark account for about one-third of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. "One of the most effective climate measures we have is to stop draining peat soils. However, this means that the land cannot be cultivated in the same way as regular agricultural soil because it would become rewetted," explains Poul Erik Lærke, a senior researcher at the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University. If farmers are unable to cultivate the land, it would be necessary to compensate landowners for the loss of value, which would incur significant costs for society.

People living in slums know how to make the most of what they have at hand. The slums in the global south hold the key to building circular cities in other developing countries, according to Charles Darwin University (CDU) researchers. Slums, a term used to describe informal settlements within cities with mostly insecure land tenure, and inadequate access to safe water, sanitation and housing, are often perceived to carry significant societal, environmental, and other costs. Advancing a slum-circular economy model for sustainability transition in cities of the Global South , published in the prestigious Nature Sustainability journal, looks at circular economy (CE) habits in slums in a range of countries, including Mexico, South Africa, India, Brazil, Kenya, Bangladesh and Angola.

A Cornell study that revealed commercial eastern common bumblebee hives pose a threat to their wild counterparts has led one major pollination company to quickly adapt the bumblebee hive boxes they ship to growers. The study, which published in February in the Journal of Applied Ecology , showed that brightly colored commercial bumblebee nest boxes attract wild queens, who may be seeking to establish their own nests. When wild queens enter these nest boxes, workers treat them as invaders and kill them, which causes losses of wild hives - and valuable pollinators - in those areas.

The usual whipping boy for the country's laggard performance in attracting foreign direct investments (FDI) is the 1987 Constitution, with its overly restrictive provisions. In 2021, the Oxford Economics reported that the Philippines is the least preferred destination of FDI's in the Asean region due to its poor infrastructure and business environment. Among the nationalized restrictions in the Constitution are those on land ownership, industries that exploit natural resources, those that require a franchise, and educational institutions.
