Gender-responsive genomic selection on farmer’s fields for accelerating genetic gains
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131387
Abstract
This study used gender-intentional participatory approaches to address the challenges of low genetic correlation and lower genetic gains for small-scale bean producers in sub-Saharan Africa.
The differences between on stations and on-farm performance of bean varieties in sub-Saharan bean farming, especially for women farmers with limited resources, may cause low genetic correlation and lower genetic gains…

Abstract
“The food system is at the center of multiple challenges that we’re facing. This includes the biodiversity crisis, the climate crisis, the malnutrition crisis, and a crisis of growing inequity. Within the food system, the entire supply chain depends on agrobiodiversity – the plants, animals, and microorganisms that support food and agriculture – and we’re not paying attention to its importance. We need to do more to…
