Crop decision trees for climate risk management
In what context is this tool useful?
This tool is useful in a context where farmers are facing the challenge of translating sub-seasonal and seasonal forecasts information into agriculturally-relevant information that can trigger timely action alerts for them and other agricultural stakeholders.
CDTs have been implemented in multiple countries, such as Tonga, Vanuatu, Samoa, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Philippines as of October, 2022, through various…

Food System Country Profile - Better understanding food systems at country level
In what context is this tool useful?
Country profiles are more than a simple compilation of national indicators. An important feature of the country profiles is that they are co-produced with key public and private food system stakeholders engaged in both identifying the data and validating results and
emerging key messages. We developed a conceptual framework to guide the various discussions that were organized between the…

The Common Microbial Biotechnology Platform (CMBP) network
The CMBP network areas of focus
Soil biodiversity contributes to soil health and is often negatively affected by the interaction between poor land management practices and climate change ultimately compromising essential ecosystem functions and services (control of pests and pathogens, production of nutritious food, cleansing water and reducing air pollution). Soil organisms play key roles in nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, organic matter…

PlaSA Colombia
In what context is this tool useful?
PlaSA provides detailed information related to the country’s food system to support decision making (especially for those who formulate policies and design public and private intervention and development programs); to provoke necessary debates on the type of food system to be pursued at both the national and regional levels; and to generate impact on public policies and intervention programs. The organization of the information seeks to structure data from…

Bean Cooking Machine
In what context is this tool useful?
The Bean Cooking Machine is useful in a context of research institutes and breeding programs intended to find grains that cook faster due to the lower time taken for meal preparation usually carried out by women, which would allow them to pursue other tasks. Another important issue is the economy of energy use. The energy for cooking represents about 90% of all household energy consumption in developing countries using wood as a major fuel source. When…

Flash Dryer design tools
In what context is this tool useful?
The diagnoses of cassava-processing SMEs (small and medium enterprises) revealed their energy expenditures for drying were considerably higher than those of large-scale industrial companies, which was mostly due to suboptimal design of fash-drying systems. As a result, small-scale production of cassava starch and high-quality cassava four (HQCF) often incurs high production costs, incompatible with market prices of final products. Taking…

Tool for an economic analysis of cassava and dried cassava chips production
In what context is this tool useful?
If producers use this tool in crop planning to analyze the profitability of their cassava root and/or dried cassava chip production, they will be able to make decisions that maximize the profitability of their operations.
The tool uses pre-determined expenditure categories based on data collected and validated with 150 cassava producers in the Colombian Caribbean region. However, the tool can be…

TreeEyed: QGIS plugin for tree monitoring
In what context is this tool useful?
TreeEyed is especially useful in silvopastoral systems (integrating trees, forages, and livestock) where individual or near-individual tree counting, identification, georeferenced analysis, or monitoring of tree changes over time is needed. It offers a powerful alternative to traditional methods.
Results achieved
The plugin is available in the…
