Summary: This study explores the legitimacy of agricultural transitions from normative and sociological perspectives, highlighting the importance of clarity and diversity in design to enhance the perceived legitimacy of the transition. It emphasizes the significance of broad problem formulation, diverse mix of policy instruments, and a transparent decision-making process that includes meaningful and equal participation of stakeholders. The conclusion underscores the usefulness of a combined lens of normative and sociological legitimacy for critically evaluating the normative and power dimensions of transition processes.

Summary: The study found that household characteristics, family characteristics, agricultural management characteristics, social characteristics, and cognitive characteristics significantly affect smallholders' adoption of AGPT, and that AGPT adoption significantly increases the TE of rice production, especially for farmers who are older, less educated, more specialized in planting, have more fragmented land, and have more off-farm employment.

Summary: Floatovoltaics as a novel sustainable energy technology utilizes open-water spaces for solar photovoltaic installations, achieving dual use of water resources. Existing assessment standards fail to fully consider the technology's resource-use efficiencies and positive impacts. Introducing computer-aided techniques and integrated analytical frameworks allows for quantitative evaluation of performance and sustainability for Floatovoltaics.

Summary: This paper explores the role of learning in organizational responses to sustainability. Learning has been identified as a key organizing process for overcoming collaborative action challenges. Through a cross-disciplinary systematic review, this study examines how different disciplines conceptualize and operationalize learning for sustainability and identifies common themes and challenges. Findings highlight the influence of power relations on learning and decision-making processes, as well as the limitations posed by traditional value structures and reflexive complicity.

Summary: ICT in developing countries is crucial for economic growth and development. This study evaluates the use of ICT to reduce socioeconomic gaps in rural populations and promote sustainable development. The results reveal the availability of digital tools, such as AI, ML, drones, apps, and IoT, that improve soil and water management and reduce pollution. However, there is a gap in acquiring state-of-the-art technological equipment, particularly in Latin America compared to Asia, Europe, and North America.

Summary: Grant funding often drives innovative programming to enhance diversity in biomedical fields, but strategies for sustainability of grant-funded interventions are not well understood. This study identified strategies used by grant-funded programs to promote sustainability, and found that certain sustainability strategies can overlap with efforts towards institutionalization. It is important for program administrators to develop early sustainability plans that lead to institutionalization, and for funding agencies to provide technical assistance on sustainability, organizational change, and institutionalization to support lasting, structural change.

Summary: This paper reviews the research on social innovation and biodiversity and highlights its importance in addressing unsustainability. The findings suggest a strong focus on civic action for changing practices, with limited attention on policy-driven and consumer/producer-driven innovations. Furthermore, there is a lack of critical perspective on the negative or unintended consequences of social innovation. The paper proposes three focal areas for future research, practice, and policy: nature-based solutions, participatory governance, and technology for tackling biodiversity loss.
