Seeds for Needs - East Africa: Helping farming communities cope with the effects of climate change by providing access to locally adapted seeds
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/104819
Abstract
The Seeds for Needs initiative works with farmers to research how agricultural biodiversity can help minimize the risks associated with climate change. At the same time Seeds for Needs is helping farming communities cope with the effects of climate change by providing access to locally adapted seeds. This poster gives an overview of the projects in…

Mitochondrial genome and plant taxonomy
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/104580
Abstract
The lability in size, structure, and sequence content of mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) across plant species has sharply limited its use in taxonomic studies. However, due to the new opportunities offered by the availability of complete mtDNA sequence in plant species and the subsequent development of universal primers, the number of mtDNA-based molecular studies has recently increased. Historically, universal primers have enabled to characterize mtDNA…

Integrated systems research in nutrition-sensitive landscapes: A theoretical methodological framework
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81191
Abstract
Integrated systems research is one of the pillars in the nutrition-sensitive landscapes (NSL) approach that is being implemented in case-study sites in Zambia and Kenya. This chapter describes systems and systematically explores windows of opportunity for sustainable redesign and innovation in landscape and farm systems for improved nutrition using whole-farm and landscape models for each…

Nutrition-sensitive landscapes: approach and methods to assess food availability and diversification of diets
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81188
Abstract
Sustainable intensification has recently been developed and adopted as a key concept and driver for research and policy in sustainable agriculture. It includes ecological, economic and social dimensions, where food and nutrition security, gender and equity are crucial components. This book describes different aspects of systems research in agriculture in its broadest sense, where…

Key concepts
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/75614
Abstract
This chapter provides defintions on some key terms addressed by the book "Tropical fruit tree diversity: good practices for in-situ and on-farm conservation" (Sthapit et al. (eds.)). It is important to understand the wider context in which such practices take place, as some of them are relatively new concepts. Some well-accepted concepts are also included for clarity with respect to tropical fruit trees.
