Integrating climate mitigation and environmental peacebuilding objectives through sustainable land use systems: Theory of change and indicators
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130470
Abstract
Land is an essential natural resource for climate mitigation and peace. It is commonly connected with sources of GHG emissions and with drivers of (violent) conflict. Therefore, climate mitigation and peacebuilding strategies are co-designing sustainable land-use systems (SLUS) with affected communities to integrate land-based climate mitigation…

Identifying the safe operating space for food systems
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178650
Abstract
Global environmental pressures from food systems threaten biodiversity and the stability of the Earth system, yet the safe operating space for food systems is unknown. Here we calculate food system boundaries as shares of planetary boundaries, proposing budgets for the food system across nine boundaries. Our results indicate that food systems are a critical driver of planetary boundary transgressions, dominating at least four…

Coupling remote sensing and eDNA to monitor environmental impact: A pilot to quantify the environmental benefits of sustainable agriculture in the Brazilian Amazon
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/140634
Abstract
Monitoring is essential to ensure that environmental goals are being achieved, including those of sustainable agriculture. Growing interest in environmental monitoring provides an opportunity to improve monitoring practices. Approaches that directly monitor land cover change and biodiversity annually by coupling the wall-to-wall…

Integrating food biodiversity into public food procurement: a Brazilian Amazon case of Indigenous Peoples and local communities
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178709
Abstract
This study explores the integration of food biodiversity and Indigenous Peoples (IPs) and Local Communities (LCs) into public food procurement. Using a primarily qualitative approach, it combines a scoping review with a case study of Brazil's National School Feeding Program (PNAE) and the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) across six municipalities in the eastern…

On gender norms, innovation and smallholder farming: Patterns and processes of change in rural Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/159381
Abstract
This thesis is about gender norms in the context of rural transformation and particularly
focuses on innovation and smallholder farming. I posit that women and men in low- and
middle-income countries, engage differently in farming, based on locally defined gender
norms and roles which usually put men in advantaged positions. The first objective of
this thesis is to increase understanding…

Women’s empowerment, household dietary diversity, and child anthropometry among vulnerable populations in Odisha, India
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/151655
Abstract
Women’s empowerment has been promoted by researchers and development practitioners as one of the most promising strategies to address widespread hunger and malnutrition. However, the relationship between women’s empowerment and dietary diversity and child nutrition has rarely been studied among vulnerable populations or individuals at greater risk of poor physical and…

Who talks about climate, peace and security? A social media analysis to identify key actors
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173941
Abstract
Uncovering key actors within a policy network provides pathways for engagement, consensus-building, partnership development, and understanding the diffusion of knowledge in a given debate. Given the unprecedented scale of the climate emergency, the emerging field of climate security has rapidly gained centrality in academic and policy fora, as well as in the public debate. Yet, a systematic analysis…

Prediction of crossover recombination using parental genomes
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132658
Abstract
Meiotic recombination is a crucial cellular process, being one of the major drivers of evolution and adaptation of species. In plant breeding, crossing is used to introduce genetic variation among individuals and populations. While different approaches to predict recombination rates for different species have been developed, they fail to estimate the outcome of crossings between two specific accessions. This paper builds on the…

Abstract
Societal Impact Statement Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin. We found that risk is highest in southern regions with low disease awareness,…

Abstract
Genetic resources of tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray) germplasm collections are not well characterized due to a lack of dedicated genomic resources. There is a need to assemble genomic resources specific to tepary bean for germplasm characterization, heterotic grouping, and breeding. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to…
