Evaluation of new forage legume varieties for registration and dissemination in Vietnam
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176900
Abstract
Livestock production in Vietnam, continues to be constrained by low productivity, largely attributed to seasonal feed shortages, dependency on low quality forages and crop residues. While forage legumes offer high-quality, protein-rich feed for livestock, and provide additional benefits such as enhancing soil fertility, availability and access to high quality, drought tolerant varieties remain limited.…

Social value of mitigation on Kenyan dairy farmers: Knowledge, perception, and willingness to act
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176909
Abstract
Climate change and livestock farming are intricately connected, with ruminant production being a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. In Africa, dairy farming is facing growing challenges due to rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall patterns, and pasture degradation, all of which threaten both the productivity and sustainability of the sector. Heat…

Law, war, and warming: The new frontiers of climate security
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177467
Abstract
As 2025 draws to a close, the climate-security agenda feels less like a niche debate, growing sharper, more complex, and perhaps for the first time, more actionable.
The intersection of climate change, migration, health, and conflict has become visible in courts, war zones, clinics, and mining fields. This year marked a shift from awareness to accountability. The question for 2026 is whether momentum across these 4 areas can…

Evaluation of a CRISPR/Cas9 based gene editing system for Urochloa sp. (Poaceae)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177291
Abstract
The agricultural sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, with livestock being a significant source of methane (CH₄) through enteric fermentation. As forage quality, digestibility, and composition directly influence CH₄ production in the rumen, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology offers a promising solution to tackle this problem by targeting these traits. Due to its agronomic and economic importance…

September to November climate advisory for pastoral communities of Ethiopia: September 2025
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177280
Abstract
The September to November (SON) rainfall season plays a vital role in sustaining pastoral livelihoods across southern and southeastern Ethiopia. Locally referred to as Hagayya in the Borana Zone, Deyr in the Somali Region, and Dada’e in the Afar Region, this season is characterized by high interannual variability influenced by global and regional climate drivers. This bulletin integrates analyses of…

Navigating social expectations: the gendered impact of men’s rural-to-urban migration on banana-cultivating households in Burundi
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177283
Abstract
In Burundi, low agricultural productivity, high population density, and land scarcity are pushing rural men to leave their villages in search of income-earning opportunities in urban areas. This study investigates the implications of Burundian men’s rapidly increasing rural-to-urban migration in the context of banana cultivation, traditionally considered a ‘men’…

Abstract
Maize yield optimisation requires a dual-pronged approach: improve variety selection to leverage genetic potential and precision fertilisation to address nutrient deficiencies. A simplified fertiliser recommendation framework, expressed in bags per unit area, bridges the knowledge gap between scientific guidelines and farmer application. However, this affects the rate of…

Abstract
Climate variability is increasingly impacting natural and human systems, exposing societies to compound and interrelated environmental, socioeconomic, and political crises. The landscape of global conflict has intensified, with more countries experiencing violent conflict than at any point in the last three decades. However, our approaches to these issues are often siloed and…

Abstract
Climate change disproportionately impacts persons with disabilities (PWDs). Climate change creates a newer set of vulnerabilities for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), adding on to already existing vulnerabilities. Consequently, they face greater risks during climate-related disasters due to physical barriers, lack of access to information, and inadequate emergency…
