Analysis of spatial integration of bean markets prices in South Kivu, North Kivu, and Tanganyika, DRC: A cointegration approach
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181832
Abstract
Bean markets in the provinces of South Kivu, North Kivu, and Tanganyika in the Democratic Republic of Congo face significant challenges, including rising prices and inefficiencies in market integration. The price of beans has more than tripled in recent years, exacerbating food insecurity and economic vulnerability. However, limited empirical research has explored…

A simple model for predicting agronomy floods in rice fields in Bicol, Philippines
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/174436
Abstract
Climate change is expected to intensify the impacts of flood events on agricultural production, particularly in flood-prone regions like the Philippines, where rice farming is heavily affected by frequent typhoons. Flood forecasting and early warning systems can aid in mitigating these risks; however, the insufficient coverage of hydrometric monitoring stations and limited computational resources can be…

Diagnostic des chaînes de valeur des produits de quelques espèces négligées et sous-utilisées au Burkina Faso
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178703
Abstract
Le système alimentaire du Burkina Faso est insuffisamment diversifié pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire, nutritionnelle et sanitaire de sa population et ses importations en produits alimentaires le rendent vulnérable. Pourtant, le pays dispose de cultures négligées encore sous-utilisées ayant un potentiel de diversification et d’amélioration des moyens de subsistance de sa…

Genomic selection for tolerance to aluminum toxicity in a synthetic population of upland rice
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/168939
Abstract
Over half of the world’s arable land is acidic, which constrains cereal production. In South America, different rice-growing regions (Cerrado in Brazil and Llanos in Colombia and Venezuela) are particularly affected due to high aluminum toxicity levels. For this reason, efforts have been made to breed for tolerance to aluminum toxicity using synthetic populations. The breeding program of CIAT-…

Case Study #01: Colombia - Agricultural driven nature loss in the tropical forest frontiers of Orinoquía
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181115
Abstract
This case study analyzes nature loss driven by agriculture and livestock farming in the Orinoquía region of Colombia, a biodiversity hotspot covering 22% of the national territory. The expansion of extensive livestock farming and monocultures (rice, oil palm, soy, cacao) has led to accelerated deforestation, soil degradation, and loss of ecosystem services, exacerbated by social…

Genomic selection for salinity tolerance in japonica rice
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132595
Abstract
Improving plant performance in salinity-prone conditions is a significant challenge in breeding programs. Genomic selection is currently integrated into many plant breeding programs as a tool for increasing selection intensity and precision for complex traits and for reducing breeding cycle length. A rice reference panel (RP) of 241 Oryza sativa L. japonica accessions genotyped with 20,255 SNPs grown in control and mild salinity…

Abstract
The Adaptation Gap Report 2025: Running on Empty updates the cost of adaptation finance needed in developing countries, putting it at US$310 billion per year in 2035, when based on modelled costs. When based on extrapolated needs expressed in Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans, this figure rises to US$365 billion a year. Meanwhile, international public adaptation finance flows to developing countries were US$26…

Physiological and molecular insights into adaptive responses of Vigna marina to drought stress
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176882
Abstract
Drought is one of the most challenging environmental stress factors for grassland ecosystems. We evaluated drought responses of beach cowpea (Vigna marina, Vm) using PEG6000 and found that Vm exhibits significantly greater drought tolerance than its close relative, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata, Vu). Vm's superior drought tolerance is linked to increased root activity, enhanced cellular…

In a world rapidly transitioning, food consumption away from home is rising, therefore representing an increasing share of individual’s diet. Food consumed away from home negatively impacts diet, nutritional status and consequently has detrimental effects on health. In some contexts, where individual level…

Abstract
Seed systems have emerged as an important type of complex system which are common targets of
interventions aiming to improve agricultural productivity, resilience, and societal outcomes. Along with
these needs comes the realization that still today relatively little is known about the fundamental
structure of many seed systems underpinning important agricultural crops. One such example is cassava

Faut-il partager ou épargner les terres? Pourquoi le dilemme agriculture-biodiversité est dépassé

Abstract
Depuis plus de vingt ans, un débat anime les chercheurs qui travaillent sur la protection de la biodiversité : faut-il séparer les espaces agricoles des espaces naturels, ou les faire cohabiter ? Ce débat oppose deux visions connues sous les termes anglais land sparing (épargner les terres) et land sharing (partager les terres).
Aujourd’hui, la recherche montre que sparing et sharing ne sont…
