Lessons on scaling Gender Transformative Socio-Technical Innovation Bundles (GTSTIBs) for sustainable resilient agrifood systems
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181462
Abstract
Achieving sustainable and resilient agrifood systems in East Africa requires moving beyond isolated technological solutions to address the deep-seated gender norms that constrain smallholder productivity. This study examines lessons learned from scaling Gender-Transformative Socio-Technical Innovation Bundles (GTSTIBs) in Kenya and Ethiopia. By integrating…

Les NUS : Une solution stratégique pour la résilience et le développement du Sahel
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181463
Abstract
Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS) are nutrient-rich, climate-adapted crops that can play a key role in strengthening food security, climate resilience, and rural livelihoods in the Sahel. This policy brief outlines how integrating NUS into agroecological farming systems, public policies, and markets can address malnutrition, environmental degradation, and rural unemployment, while supporting…

A site-specific crop modeling system for enhancing management practices in Honduras
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181466
Abstract
Agriculture plays an important role in Honduras economy, contributing nearly 12% of the national GDP and serving as a primary source of livelihoods, particularly in rural areas (Keller, 2013). Despite its importance, the sector is highly vulnerable to climatic variability and extreme weather events. Smallholders are especially at risk due to limited adaptive capacity, scarce resources, and restricted access…

SUSTLIVES project: Turning Neglected and Underutilised Species (NUS) into opportunity crops — Insights from Burkina Faso and Niger
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181530
Abstract
Neglected and underutilised species (NUS)—often referred to by multiple names including forgotten foods or orphan crops—are plants that have been overlooked in modern agriculture. Yet these species are anything but marginal. Many are exceptionally nutrient-rich, deeply embedded in cultural traditions and have sustained local diets for generations. Crucially,…

Abstract
Mobile phone apps can be a cost-effective way to provide decision support to farmers, and they can support the collection of agricultural data. The digitisation of agricultural systems, and the efforts to close the digital divide and to include smallholders, make data ownership and privacy issues more relevant than ever before. In Central and South American countries,…

Abstract
The pandemic has disrupted input supply systems in almost all countries studied, causing low use of yield enhancing techologies such as improved seed and inorganic fertilizer. Measures put in place to curb transmission of the deadly virus have created labour shortages of workers at farm level and business level leading to higher labour prices. The functioning of the food supply chains have been…
