Risk Contingent Credit: A stakeholder engagement to inform project expansion in Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130396
Abstract
A large proportion of farm households in developing countries face a host of market and production risks that undermine their food security, make their income volatile, and make them hesitant to adopt new technologies or undertake new investments that might increase their long-term productivity and household welfare. Climate-related risks such as floods and droughts remain some of the most pervasive forms…

Abstract
A finales de de la década de 1930, el líder de Tailandia presentó el plato a su país en un esfuerzo por definir una identidad nacional y mejorar la nutrición. El gobierno tailandés distribuyó la receta y animó a los vendedores a ofrecerlo por todo el país. Irónicamente, sus icónicos chiles no tienen ningún vínculo con Tailandia.

How good is the data for tracking countries' agricultural greenhouse gas emissions?
Limited accuracy and transparency of national greenhouse gas emission inventories are curbing climate action, especially in the agriculture and land use sector.
Inconsistent and inadequate reporting by low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs), uncertainties in reported data, and a lack of…

The era of reference genomes in conservation genomics
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130482
Abstract
Conservation efforts need to account for genomic diversity to optimize management strategies. Accounting for genomic diversity
will aid in maintaining population viability and preserving adaptive potential to respond to environmental change. The availability of
reference genomes will provide a solid, quantitative, and comparable foundation for biodiversity assessments, conservation,
management, and restoration.…

The number of tree species on Earth
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130476
Abstract
One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, the global numbers of species, including those of important and well-studied life forms such as trees, still remain largely unknown. Here, based on global ground-sourced data, we estimate the total tree species richness at global,…

gosset: An R package for analysis and synthesis of ranking data in agricultural experimentation
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130485
Abstract
To derive insights from data, researchers working on agricultural experiments need appropriate data management and analysis tools. To ensure that workflows are reproducible and can be applied on a routine basis, programmatic tools are needed. Such tools are increasingly necessary for rank-based data, a type of data that is generated in on-farm experimentation and data synthesis exercises, among…

Socio-economic and food system drivers of nutrition and health transitions in The Gambia from 1990 to 2017
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130474
Abstract
In common with many nations undergoing a nutrition transition, micronutrient deficiencies, undernutrition and overnutrition coexist in The Gambia. Addressing these challenges simultaneously would require transformational changes in the country's food system. However, the evidence base that would enable informed decision-making in the Gambian food system has been scant, despite…

Inclusive diets within planetary boundaries
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130494
Abstract
Our food production system is unsustainable and threatening planetary boundaries. Yet, a quarter of the global population still lacks access to safe and nutritious food, while suboptimal diets account for 11 million adult deaths per year. This Voices asks: what critical barriers must be overcome to enable sustainable, healthy, accessible, and equitable diets for all?
