Spatio-temporal dynamics of the dual-purpose cattle value chain in the Colombian Amazon
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138639
Abstract
The cattle sector plays an important role in the economy of the Caquetá department, located in the Colombian Amazon. However, the predominantly extensive production system is associated with low productivity and negative environmental impacts, such as land degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation. Efforts to introduce improved practices (e.g., improved forages or silvopastoral systems)…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110357
Abstract
Xanthomonas wilt (XW) of enset is a major biotic constraint to enset cultivation in Ethiopia. Three enset cultivars, namely, ‘Mazia’ (tolerant), ‘Arkiya’ (susceptible) and ‘Kelisa’ (susceptible) were inoculated with Xanthomonas vasicola pv. musacearum (Xvm),…

Gendered evaluation of impacts of landscape degradation and restoration on ecosystem services: perspectives from paired husbands and wives in Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/126847
Abstract
Globally, land degradation disproportionally affects women more than men and, to close the gender gap, several landscape restoration projects promote gender inclusiveness. However, empirical evidence based on gender-disaggregated data is a major research gap. Using a gender-inclusive restoration case of Amhara and SNNP (Southern Nations,…

Economic benefits of sustainable, forage-based cattle systems in Colombia and Nicaragua
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138152
Abstract
Forage-based cattle systems play a key role in rural economies of developing countries in terms of food security and poverty alleviation, particularly in tropical Latin America. However, they are often related to being a major cause of negative environmental impacts by contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, and the reduction of biodiversity. Significant resources have been…

The fund established to respond to loss and damage from climate change: Ethiopia’s preparedness in data management and robust scientific information production
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/174491
Abstract
This Feature highlights the disproportionate burden of climate change-induced loss and damage on low-income and developing countries, particularly Ethiopia. While industrialized nations are the primary contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, it is the least emitting countries that suffer the most from extreme events such as…

Unravelling genomic drivers of speciation in musa through genome assemblies of wild banana ancestors
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/170319
Abstract
Hybridization between wild Musa species and subspecies from Southeast Asia is at the origin of cultivated bananas. The genomes of these cultivars are complex mosaics involving nine genetic groups, including two previously unknown contributors. This study provides continuous genome assemblies for six wild genetic groups, one of which represents one of the unknown ancestor, identified as M.…

Sustainable green tea production through agroecological management and land conversion practices for restoring soil health, crop productivity and economic efficiency: Evidence from Northern Vietnam
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138595
Abstract
Tea is a very important cash crop in Vietnam as it provides crucial income and employment for farmers in poor rural areas. Unfortunately, the dominance of long-term, conventional tea cultivation has caused severe soil health degradation and environmental pollution. At the same time, as tea…

Abstract
Silvopastoral systems have been proposed as a sustainable alternative for climate change mitigation, but quantitative information comparing with other systems is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the biotechnical, economic, and environmental impacts of conventional dairy production systems (CPS) and silvopastoral systems (SPS) in San Martin, Peru, using the CLEANED…

A systematic review of climate change adaptation in vegetable farming systems in Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177404
Abstract
Vegetables are central to sustainable food systems and healthy diets, yet climate adaptation research in agriculture has largely focused on staple crops, with less emphasis on vegetable farming systems. We conducted a systematic review of 60 studies to map adaptation responses in vegetable farming systems across Africa and explore how these responses address climate risks. Most adaptation efforts are…

Habitat quality differentiation and consequences for ecosystem service provision of an Amazonian hyperdominant tree species
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/113227
Abstract
Ecosystem services of Amazonian forests are disproportionally produced by a limited set of hyperdominant tree species. Yet the spatial variation in the delivery of ecosystem services by individual hyperdominant species across their distribution ranges and corresponding environmental gradients is poorly understood. Here, we use the concept of habitat quality to unravel…

Abstract
Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) that causes banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) is ranked among the top 100 invasive species in the world. Despite being omnipresent in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) and South-Western Rwanda for over 2 decades, BBTV had not been reported in neighbouring Uganda. However, in 2020, banana plants with BBTD characteristic symptoms were observed in Arua City located in…

Abstract
The production of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), one of the most important sources of protein and minerals and one of the most consumed grain legumes globally, is highly affected by heat and drought constraints. In contrast, the tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray), a common bean-related species, is adapted to hot and dry…
