Participatory forage evaluation for integration in mixed crop-livestock-tree systems in Lao PDR: An entry point for sustainable intensification
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/155465
Abstract
In Lao PDR, smallholder farmers dominate agriculture and food production, mainly relying on rainfed, low-input crop and livestock production. Livestock production in Laos has notably increased in the past decade, with the country's cattle population growing from 1.7 million in 2012 to 2.3 million in 2021. This upward trend suggests a…

Exploring host resistance against chilli leaf curl disease in a tolerant chilli genotype
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/155561
Abstract
In tropical countries, combating leaf curl disease in hot peppers has become important in improvement programs. Leaf curl disease is caused by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) transmitted begomoviruses, which mainly include chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV). However, multiple begomoviruses have also been found to be associated with this disease. The Capsicum annuum line, DLS-Sel-10, was found to be a tolerant…

Digital sustainability tracing in smallholder context: Ex-ante insights from the Peruvian cocoa supply chain
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/155562
Abstract
Global demand for sustainable agri-food products creates opportunities for smallholder farmers. But on-farm verification of sustainable practices is costly, making third-party certification inaccessible to many poor farmers. Digital technologies for tracing agri-food products from farm to fork could help: novel traceability systems, based on blockchain technology, can make data…

Abstract
The development of high-yielding, resilient cultivars is the primary goal of many crop breeding programmes, but the uptake of these new cultivars is persistently low in low-income countries. We discuss constraints related to the adoption of crop cultivars and stress the importance of participatory approaches in building trust and promoting the adoption of new technologies.…

Evaluating the potential environmental co-benefits of perennial grass-legume mixtures in Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/155557
Abstract
While livestock plays a crucial role in the livelihoods of Ethiopian farmers and the overall economy, it also contributes to land degradation. The scarcity of land compels livestock to rely heavily on overgrazed natural pastures for feed intake. This contributes to Ethiopia’s high rates of soil erosion and land degradation, thus posing a significant threat to ecosystems and livelihoods. With…
