Volume 8 issue 2
Vol. 8 No. 2 (2025)The latest issue of the Journal of Equity in Sciences and Sustainable Development (Vol. 8, Issue 2, 2025) published a diverse collection of studies addressing environmental management, agriculture, biodiversity, culture, and socio-economic development in Ethiopia. Key contributions include assessments of natural radioactivity in groundwater, the dynamics of wetlands and biodiversity in the Bale eco-region, and the role of farmers’ socioeconomic factors in watershed conservation. Agricultural research highlights eco-friendly innovations, such as biofertilizers from Rhizobium isolates, antifungal traits of Bacillus spp., and the combined use of vermi-compost and mineral fertilizers to enhance crop yields. These studies not only contribute to improving agricultural productivity but also offer sustainable solutions for ecological resilience.
Beyond agriculture and ecosystems, the issue emphasizes the significance of cultural and policy dimensions in sustainable development. One paper reviews Oromo traditional ecological knowledge as a foundation for conservation, while a brief policy explores heritage conservation as a driver of sustainable tourism in southeastern Ethiopia. Urban and economic themes are also addressed through studies on public–private partnerships in Addis Ababa’s housing sector, the impact of urban planning on preschool infrastructure, and the effects of food price inflation on household food security. Collectively, the articles highlight the interconnectedness of environmental stewardship, cultural values, and socio-economic policies in promoting resilience and sustainability.
