De-risking varietal turnover through retailer-led consumer trials: Evidence from common bean markets in Arusha, Tanzania
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181826
Abstract
Varietal turnover in open-pollinated crops (OPVs) in Tanzania remains slow, partly due to weak demand signals and limited understanding of consumer preferences for new varieties. Farmers, retailers, and traders are hesitant to invest in unfamiliar varieties without credible evidence of market acceptance. This study examines whether marketplace retailers—who interact…

Women as stewards of environmental and social transformations in tropical forests
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/175149
Abstract
Women are driving transformative change across the tropics, yet their critical roles in forest management, conservation and resource use often remain unrecognized. From gathering non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to safeguarding sacred groves and leading community initiatives, women’s contributions are essential to the social and ecological fabric of forest-dependent communities.

Rural women tend to be particularly reliant on forests for fuelwood, food, fodder, medicine and more. For this reason, women are often the primary stewards of these common resources, relying on gender-specific knowledge of harvesting, processing, use and management. Yet women…
