Enset production system diversity across the Southern Ethiopian Highlands
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130168
Abstract
Enset is a staple crop of the southern Ethiopian highlands. Small-holder farmers cultivate enset as part of mixed subsistence farming systems, in which enset provides substantial food security services. While its cultivation is unique to this region, enset production systems take on many forms, varying with environmental and agronomic conditions, crop diversity and (co-)staples produced, the importance of enset for…

Assessing the application of gender perspectives in land restoration studies in Ethiopia using text mining
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129817
Abstract
Restoration of degraded land is key to enhancing land productivity and farmers' wellbeing in sub-Saharan Africa. Evidence shows that the benefits of land restoration are tremendous, ranging from biophysical benefits in soil health, agricultural productivity, ecosystem services, to socio-economic dimensions such as improving farmers’ income and livelihoods. Yet one issue that is…

Trends, challenges and opportunities in the in situ conservation of cereal landraces in Scottish islands
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129898
Abstract
Landraces are traditional crop varieties that often have special adaptations to the farming environment in which they have evolved and are therefore a valuable source of useful traits for plant breeders. In most agriculturally advanced countries, landraces of the main crops have generally been superseded by modern varieties. An exception to this in the United Kingdom is the cultivation…

Abstract
En Colombia, la cría bovina representa el 15% del inventario ganadero, siendo un eslabón importante en la cadena de producción de carne. La carencia de estudios de caracterización limita la adecuada planificación técnica y ambiental de esta actividad. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar los parámetros técnicos y ambientales de fincas de cría con doble…

Community-level incentive mechanisms for the conservation of crop wild relatives: A Malawi case study
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129676
Abstract
Despite being an increasingly important source of genes for crop breeding aimed at improving food security and climate change adaptation, crop wild relatives (CWRs) are globally threatened. A root cause of CWR conservation challenges is a lack of institutions and payment mechanisms by which the beneficiaries of CWR conservation services (such as breeders) could compensate those who can…

Operations research and machine learning to manage risk and optimize production practices in agriculture: good and bad experience
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129905
Abstract
The potential for operations research with farmer supplied data coupled with machine learning to improve crop management is explored through a series of case studies from developing countries. The information provided by the farmers ranged from solely yield to a description of the management of the crop and some details of the growth environment. The climate or…

Dietary diversity predicts the adequacy of micronutrient intake in 6- to 23-month-old children regardless of the season in rural Southern Benin
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130584
Abstract
Background: The Infants and Young Children Dietary Diversity Score (IYC-DDS-7) has been validated to assess dietary quality in children. However, its applicability to predict the adequacy of micronutrient intake remains a challenge in all contexts. Design and Methods: A 24-hour dietary recall assessment was conducted on a sample of 628 children…

Les oiseaux et les chauves-souris assurent les rendements des producteurs de cacao dans le nord du Pérou
Des populations saines de chauves-souris et d'oiseaux ne contribuent pas seulement à maintenir l'équilibre des forêts tropicales sèches menacées du nord du Pérou. Pour les producteurs de cacao de la région - le principal ingrédient du chocolat - ces prédateurs valent près de 1 000 dollars par hectare de production annuelle.

Abstract
In 2003, the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada published “Seed that give. Participatory plant breeding,” synthesizing the achievements and lessons learned of the first 10 (pioneering) years of participatory plant breeding (PPB), a concept first tabled at an international workshop in Wageningen, the Netherlands, in 1994. IDRC was one of the early and most fervent supporters of PPB. See…
