Can the digital long tail effect in farmers’ markets increase crop diversity on farms and in diets? A pilot study from Costa Rica
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182890
Abstract
Farmers’ markets play a key role in food systems. They provide income for small-scale producers, offer consumers diverse and healthy food options, and help sustain agrobiodiversity on farms. Economic development is often thought to reduce agrobiodiversity, weakening both farm resilience and diet quality. Yet digital platform business models in advanced…

Food system resilience measurement: Principles, framework and caveats
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132871
Abstract
There is growing recognition that a better understanding of how food systems respond to crises is critical to build and protect the food security of local populations. But rigorous and reliable methods to measure food system resilience are still missing. In this paper, we build on the current literature to develop an analytical framework aimed at assessing the resilience of food systems at local level. The novel element…

Assessment of current and future spatial suitability of market-demanded old and new common bean varieties in Tanzania
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182782
Abstract
Climate change is projected to reduce land suitable for common bean cultivation in Sub-Saharan Africa. This poses serious risks to food security and livelihoods, especially as most farmers continue to grow older varieties under changing conditions. This study evaluated current and future suitability of common bean varieties in Tanzania by comparing older (>10 years) and…

Abstract
Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature. By providing independent, site-based verification and engaging local experts, TGBS…
