- 7 pages., via online journal., Human health is indivisible from ecological health and there is increasing focus on climate change as the major preventable threat to the health of humanity. The direct associations between climate change and population health are well documented, as are potential co-benefits of climate action.1-6 Australia is entering a period of climatic extremes.7,8 The socially stable and agriculturally productive Northern Rivers region of New South Wales is set to experience increasing temperatures, storms, flooding and erosion.9,10 This will likely be compounded by changes in socio/political, environmental, agricultural and economic systems with resultant impacts on social and environmental determinants of health.11,12 How might a rural population of 280,000 respond? In 2007, community resilience to climate change was neither a state nor federal health promotion priority. The former North Coast Area Health Service Health Promotion (NCHP) adopted one promising direction: to foster a collaboration of existing organisations to accelerate regional action on climate change.13-15 The former NSW Department of Climate Change funded the pilot project: Resilience: building health from regional responses to climate change. The project incorporated principles from Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) theory with emphasis on the concepts of resilience and

- Notes:
- 19 pages., via online journal., Agricultural e‐commerce clusters are new phenomena that have emerged in rural China. In examining the case of Shuyang County in Jiangsu Province, this paper puts forward an integrated model revealing the formation mechanism of agricultural e‐commerce clusters. The paper shows that the formation of agricultural e‐commerce clusters involves four processes of technology introduction, technology diffusion, quality crisis, and industrial agglomeration based on elements such as industry bases, e‐commerce platforms, network facilities, logistics services, entrepreneurial talent, local government, and market demand. Rural social networks and imitation behaviors promote technology diffusion by reducing the cost of technology introduction, and industrial agglomeration is found in the economies showing a deepening of labor divisions and geographic agglomeration. Throughout the formation process, a quality crisis may occur due to a race to the bottom and the opportunistic behaviors of local farmers. This work suggests that regional e‐commerce development is a systematic project. Governments of developing countries should not only realize the positive impacts of e‐commerce for the development of the agricultural industry but also recognize the premise and logic of how e‐commerce can play a prominent role.
