Farmers’ requirements for sorghum seed products in Tanzania
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/152399
Abstract
This brief explores Tanzanian farmers’ requirements for sorghum seed products as input for discussions by CGIAR and NARES on seed product market segmentation and the design of target product profiles (TPPs). We applied a novel approach to identify the requirements—video-based product concept testing (VPCT). Through multiple engagements with breeders, farmers, and industry, we identified seven sorghum seed-product concepts, five…

Can 2 + 2 make 5? From adding up to Intersectionality
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/137086
Abstract
The objective of this research is to shift participants away from potentially thinking of intersectional research as being additive, towards developing a shared understanding of intersectionality as about the ways identities combine to create specific sets of opportunities, and challenges, in an agri-food system. Taking an intersectional approach is a way of considering how interwoven dimensions of inequality affect groups of people (…

New benefit-sharing principles for digital sequence information
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134748
Abstract
Since 1992, international laws governing access and benefit sharing (ABS) have confirmed the principle that countries have sovereign rights over their nonhuman biological diversity and can regulate access to their genetic resources. These laws require the fair and equitable sharing of monetary (e.g., royalties) and nonmonetary (e.g., scientific training) benefits resulting from physical access to and utilization of those…
