Private sector led multi-stakeholder platforms positively influence certified seed supply in Malawi
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/172866
Abstract
Common bean yields in Malawi remain low, primarily due to the use of low-yielding, recycled local seeds by most smallholder farmers. The low uptake of certified bean seed is attributed to limited incentives from the private sector. This study hypothesizes that the sustainable adoption of market-preferred varieties can be achieved by synchronizing and linking seed production to the grain…

Nature-Positive Agriculture—A way forward towards resilient agrifood systems
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/172805
Abstract
Current food production systems rely heavily on resource-poor small-scale farmers in the global south. Concomitantly, the agrifood systems are exacerbated by various a/biotic challenges, including low-input agriculture and climate crisis. The recent global food crisis further escalates the production and consumption challenges in the global market. With these challenges, coordinated efforts to address the world’s…

Abstract
This paper aims to understand the impact of potential gold mining on social accountability. By using the Mediation Analysis method, we have developed an impact evaluation for a region of Colombia, through an empirical strategy that allows for the comparison of municipalities with and without potential gold mining. Our model's estimation considered two set of indicators: social accountability and social capital,…

A new project launched to strengthen evidence use for African agriculture adaptation
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/172790
Abstract
As climate change intensifies across Africa, smallholder farmers are on the frontlines, facing increasingly extreme weather conditions. While climate mitigation has clear benchmarks, adaptation remains complex, often lacking reliable metrics to track progress. This gap has led to fragmented efforts and, in some cases, maladaptation, where interventions unintentionally heighten vulnerability.
The Adaptation…

Abstract
Malnutrition remains a critical issue in Uganda, with high rates of child stunting and food insecurity. Despite the country’s agricultural resources, nearly one-third of children under five suffer from stunting, and a significant proportion face acute malnutrition. In response, Yellow Star Produce and Food Processors, in collaboration with the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA), has developed an…
