Restoring soil health from long-term intensive Robusta coffee cultivation in Vietnam: “A review”
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/175123
Abstract
Robusta coffee, a vital cash crop for Vietnamese smallholders, significantly contributes to the national economy. Vietnam is the largest exporter of Robusta coffee, supplying 53% of the global market. However, this success has come at a cost. Decades of intensive Robusta coffee cultivation in Vietnam have led to severe soil acidification and biodiversity loss, favoring soil-borne pathogens.…

Trait–environment interactions influence tree planting success in Peruvian tropical dry forests
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176728
Abstract
Tropical dry forests (TDFs) are among the most endangered ecosystems globally, despite their critical socio‐ecological importance. In recent decades, tree planting initiatives have been widely implemented to restore these forests, yielding mixed results. To enhance restoration effectiveness, it is imperative to adopt a predictive approach, focusing on the drivers of seedling performance and how…

Assessing gender disparities in farmers’ access and use of climate-smart agriculture in Southern Tanzania
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/175346
Abstract
The importance of common bean in Tanzania is increasingly challenged by climate change, which increases women's vulnerability and undermines the contribution of the crop to food security and rural livelihoods. This study assessed gender differences in the use of climate-smart agriculture technologies and practices among bean farmers in Tanzania. A multi-stage sampling procedure…

Germplasm variability-assisted near infrared reflectance spectroscopy chemometrics to develop multi-trait robust prediction models in rice
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130484
Abstract
Rice is a major staple food across the world in which wide variations in nutrient composition are reported. Rice improvement programs need germplasm accessions with extreme values for any nutritional trait. Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) uses electromagnetic radiations in the NIR region to rapidly measure the biochemical composition of…

Agro-biodiversity in national pathways for food system transformation: case of West Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127037
Abstract
The challenges relating to biodiversity loss, food insecurity and climate change show the urgent need to make transition towards sustainable food systems in West Africa. To bring about such a transition worldwide, the United Nations’ Food Systems Summit was held in September 2021. One of the main outcomes of the Summit was the national pathways to sustainable food systems. This review analyses…

Environmental co-benefits of improved forages in smallholder dairy systems of Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138149
Abstract
Livestock play a major role across Kenya, especially in smallholder mixed farms through provision of household nutrition and income through milk and meat. Equally, fertilization of cropland benefits from livestock manure, and livestock often act as insurance and saving. Despite the opportunities and benefits livestock production presents, livestock systems are also key drivers of environmental degradation,…
