Defining a target population of environments in Africa for Brachiaria sp. and Guinea grass breeding
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158519
Abstract
The Tropical Forages breeding programme based in Colombia, aims to develop superior cultivars for particular target population of environments (TPE). A TPE consists of a set of environments and future conditions where the newly developed cultivars will be grown. Defining the TPE and assessing its heterogeneity is a key step to improve selection efficiency and genetic gain in the breeding…

Impacts of Urochloa hybrid forage seed adoption in the global tropics 2001-2023
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158528
Abstract
Despite the economic and social importance of cattle farming in the tropics, the sector is under increasing scrutiny due to its environmental impacts. At the same time, cattle farmers are highly vulnerable to climate change, which threatens food security and amplifies the challenges they face. This puts the cattle industry in a difficult position, central to political debates on how to sustainably increase…

Legume integration and manure offer promise to improve early indicators of soil health
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158523
Abstract
Tested indicators offer potential to detect that:
• Cropping systems and manure play a crucial role in
improving soil properties and potential microbial
activity
• Mineral nitrogen applications have a comparatively
smaller impact on soil properties and potential
microbial activity compared to main treatments
• Legume integration provides a potential for both soil
chemical properties and microbial…

Traditional soil fertility management ameliorates climate change impacts on local andean crops within smallholder farming systems
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158521
Abstract
Food security in traditional smallholder mountain communities across the globe is being jeopardized by multiple global changes. Rising temperatures are projected to impact the suitability of cultivation areas for many crops. To maintain yields, smallholders may need to alter the nutrient management, the timing of cultivation, or even the crops currently…

Integrating conflict data for enhanced analysis: A multi-source approach to support vulnerability frameworks
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158475
Abstract
The future of conflict and food security analysis depends on moving beyond
isolated datasets to embrace integrated, multi-dimensional insights. This
study presents an innovative approach to integrating conflict event data
from multiple sources, utilising a customised version of the Matching Event
Data by Location, Time, and Type (MELTT) framework and the Validation and
