https://hdl.handle.net/10568/109058
Abstract
Food production has advanced from the original form where humans gathered food from the wild, to cultivation and selection of wild plants (landraces), and further to modern-day plant breeding of new varieties and cultivars with high quality, yields, and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Food crops have been derived from wild plant species (crop wild relatives) from…

Toward unifying global hotspots of wild and domesticated biodiversity
Bioversity-CIAT Alliance (Bioversity-CIAT Alliance)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/109173
Abstract
Global biodiversity hotspots are areas containing high levels of species richness, endemism
and threat. Similarly, regions of agriculturally relevant diversity have been identified where many
domesticated plants and animals originated, and co-occurred with their wild ancestors and relatives.
The agro-biodiversity in these regions has, likewise, often…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110118
Abstract
Games are particularly relevant for field research in agriculture, where alternative
experimental designs can be costly and unfeasible. Games are also popular for non-experimental
purposes such as recreating learning experiences and facilitating dialogue with local communities.
After a systematic review of the…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/108840
Abstract
COVID-19 undermines food security both directly, by disrupting food systems, and indirectly, through the impacts of lockdowns on household incomes and physical access to food. COVID-19 and responses to the pandemic could undermine food production, processing and marketing, but the most concerning impacts are on the demand-side – economic and physical access…

Abstract
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) produced and released by eructation to the atmosphere in large volumes by ruminants. Enteric CH4 contributes significantly to global GHG emissions arising from animal agriculture. It has been contended that tropical grasses produce higher emissions of enteric CH4 than temperate grasses, when they are…
