Quo Vadis? Opportunities and Bottlenecks for Improved Forage Seed Markets in East Africa
Jesús Fernando Flórez Herrera, Stefan Burkart
In East Africa the livestock sector is one of the most important subsectors of agriculture in economic, social, and environmental terms, and dairy farming is of special relevance as it is practiced by most smallholder farmers. Forage is a key element of the feed basket in…

Abstract
CSA and its principles: food security, mitigation, and adaptation, have been widely recognized as key elements for decision makers to include to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet implementing successful innovations on a wider scale across nations – and even geographies – remains a challenge. CSA cannot be a useful tool to combat climate change and ensure food…

Scaling up pro-poor agrobiodiversity interventions as a development option
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139428
Abstract
Pro-poor interventions that use agrobiodiversity for development actions are widely considered relevant only at small scales. Agrobiodiversity interventions are often left out of national-level/large-scale development planning. Scaling-up modalities include adaptation, diffusion, replication, value addition, and temporal scaling up. We undertook a review of 119 interventions that use agrobiodiversity for both the…
Farmers’ variety naming and crop varietal diversity of two cereal and three legume species in the Moroccan High Atlas, using DATAR
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139429
Abstract
Local agrobiodiversity in remote areas such as the Moroccan High Atlas is poorly studied, despite being of great importance for the sustainability and resilience of mountainous populations. This includes important species such as wheat (<em>Triticum spp.</em>), barley (<em>Hordeum vulgare</em>), fava beans (<em>Vicia faba</em…
Genome sequences and population genomics reveal climatic adaptation and genomic divergence between two closely related sweetgum species
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/139419
Abstract
Understanding the genetic basis of population divergence and adaptation is an important goal in population genetics and evolutionary biology. However, the relative roles of demographic history, gene flow, and/or selective regime in driving genomic divergence, climatic adaptation, and speciation in non-model tree species are not yet fully understood. To…
