Multi-omics analysis reveals the roles of purple acid phosphatases in organic phosphorus utilization by the tropical legume Stylosanthes guianensis
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134939
Abstract
Stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) is a tropical legume known for its exceptional tolerance to low phosphate (Pi), a trait believed to be linked to its high acid phosphatase (APase) activity. Previous studies have observed genotypic variations in APase activity in stylo; however, the gene encoding the crucial APase responsible for this variation…

Mixed Farming Systems in the tropics, a CGIAR Initiative in 5 countries. Challenges and Collaboration in Laos
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/135019
Abstract
This Initiative addresses the Sustainable intensification (SI) of Mixed farming systems (MFS). By SI, we mean the production of more food on the same piece of land while reducing the negative environmental impact. MFS cover about 2.5 billion ha of land globally. In the developing world, MFS supply around 75% of milk, 60% of meat, and 41–86% of cereals consumed. These farming…

Abstract
In Fragile and Conflict-affected Settings (FCS), projects related to buildings, cities, industries, and appliances face multifaceted operational risks. These initiatives, when not judiciously managed, risk heightening tensions by influencing the delicate balance of socio-economic and political factors, thereby amplifying fragility, conflict, and violence. Such challenges…

Abstract
Despite increasing awareness of the nexus between climate change and human security, especially in fragile contexts, this complex relationship has yet to be reflected in the policy arena. To investigate this potential policy gap, we apply an online issue mapping approach to assess representations of climate security within the public discourse of policymakers on social media, using Kenya…

Seasonal seed scenario planning: co-design of a generic framework for matching seed supply and demand using seasonal climate forecasts
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134647
Abstract
To cope with interannual climate variability, many farmers in tropical and sub-tropical regions choose crop varieties that fit seasonal climate conditions. Therefore, seed demand for different varieties, such as early- or late-maturing cultivars, varies between years. Resulting mismatches between relatively constant supply and variable demand create losses…
