Towards site-specific greenhouse gas emissions measurement: Rice production in Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134486
Abstract
This study contributes to the lack of national information on rice emissions. Impact mitigation should focus on reducing methane emissions through different strategies. Estimation can be complemented with a deeper study of other activity sources such as fuel use, land preparation between crop seasons, harvesting, etc. Consider having a representative sample not only in production but also in the…

Economic benefits of different silvo-pastoral systems in Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134482
Abstract
Improving both quality and availability of cattle feed in the tropics is among the main strategies to increase productivity and reduce the sector’s environmental impacts. Over the last decades, high amounts of research and development funds have been allocated to improve forage germplasm leading to the release of different forage cultivars and hybrids (e.g., Urochloa hybrid cvs. Mulato, Mulato II, Cayman, Cobra). According…

Reinforcing knowledge, market-based incentives, and bean quality in Honduras: estimating impacts of a bundled innovation using a cluster randomized controlled trial
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134484
Abstract
Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are an important source of food and protein in Honduras and the region. Smallholders produce most of the beans, and they face many biotic and abiotic challenges. Roughly 10-15% of bean producers in Honduras belong to a farmer association. These associations provide goods and services (…

Beyond borders: An analysis of free trade agreements and the competitiveness of the rice sector in Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134476
Abstract
Colombia lags in terms of competitiveness at the macro and meso levels. However, it appears to be a developing sector with opportunities for the future. At the micro level, the sector is already working to improve yields and reduce production costs through best practices. At the meso level, Colombia should focus on its quality standards to add value to its rice and penetrate other…

To little, too late? Rice production to mitigate climate change in Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134477
Abstract
The adoption of better technological practices make rice production more resilient. These results demonstrate the pivotal role of agroclimatic forecasting and extension services to mitigate the effects of climate change on rice production. Better measurements of GHG emissions and computation of site-specific emissions are crucial to clearly identify the effects of adaptation and mitigation initiatives…

Public policies for the development of sustainable cattle sector with silvo-pastoral systems in Colombia, Argentina, and Costa Rica
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134480
Abstract
By contributing more than 25% and 10% to the global beef and milk supply, Latin America and the Caribbean plays an important role in the global cattle industry. The cattle sector generates internal and external benefits as it guarantees food security and strongly contributes to economic development. Cattle production in the region not only has a long tradition…

Investment scenarios for rice R&D in LAC welfare and food security implications
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134479
Abstract
Increasing annual investments from 225 to 260 million USD by 2050 is needed to sustain the yield growth implied by SSP2 (0.6% annually). If we want to reach 10t/ha (1.5% annual increase) investments must increase to 275 million USD annually by 2050. Targeting higher yields will mainly generate economic benefits for producers, but very limited benefits for consumers and for food security in LAC. These…
