Safeguarding the biodiversity associated with local foodways in traditionally managed socio-ecological production landscapes in Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119837
Abstract
Degradation of socio-ecological production landscapes (SEPLs) triggered mainly by the impoverishment of biodiversity and the increasing incidence of climate catastrophes significantly challenges human health and food and nutritional security. Critical concern needs to be placed on ensuring both human and ecosystem health and contributing to nutrition-…

Banana seed exchange networks in Burundi - linking formal and informal systems
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119821
Abstract
Seed system network analysis can reveal exchange connections between stakeholders and test scenarios such as those of seed systems shocks. We investigated the seed exchange network structure, disease surveillance risk, and gender contribution in Burundi, under two banana disease risk scenarios. Two sites where banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) is endemic in Cibitoke Province were compared with a site free of the…

Fruit and vegetable biodiversity for nutritionally diverse diets: Challenges, opportunities, and knowledge gaps
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119866
Abstract
Planetary health brings together intrinsically linked issues of human health and natural systems. This paper reviews evidence of how agrobiodiversity underpins dietary diversity for current human populations in the context of fruits and vegetables, and ways to maintain and improve these for future generations.
Both the conservation and sustainable use of fruit and vegetable…

Abstract
During 1981 the analysis of the potential adoption and impact of improved cassava production technology was continued at various levels and included: farm-level studies of the profitability of improved technology and constraints to adoption; analysis of costs of processing and marketing; and research on final demand, especially the potential of cassava to enter alternative markets. Major determinants of yield…
