Participatory plant breeding to develop biofortified upland rice for marginal environments
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/172741
Abstract
Abstract In the Highlands of Madagascar, where rice is the main staple food, explosive demographic growth has driven the need for the development of upland rice. In that context, a Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) program conducted by the FOFIFA-Cirad partnership, aims to develop upland rice varieties adapted to farmers’ needs, with superior agronomic performances, and with high grain zinc…

Adaptation Atlas Pest and Disease Yield Impacts
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182070
Abstract
This dataset contains spatially explicit projections of climate-driven changes in crop pest and pathogen performance and their implications for global crop yields. It includes modeled shifts in relative pest and pathogen performance under multiple future climate scenarios, derived from experimentally based thermal performance relationships and projected growing-season temperatures.
The dataset also provides estimates of the indirect effects…

Advisory services boost bean farming in Malawi
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/172986
Abstract
The Southern Africa Accelerated Innovation Delivery Initiative (AID-I) has made a significant impact on smallholder bean farming in Malawi, especially during the challenging 2023-24 cropping season, exacerbated by an El Niño-induced drought. Through innovative advisory services, AID-I facilitated the adoption of climate-smart practices, including drought-tolerant seeds and improved soil management techniques. The initiative has empowered…
