Biomass yield, nutritional composition and silage fermentation characteristics of panicum and pennisetum grasses in the savanna agro-ecological zone of Ghana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/159384
Abstract
Successful silage production can help overcome seasonal fluctuations in feed quality and improve livestock production efficiency in tropical regions. Fodder yield and nutritional value are crucial when selecting forage varieties suitable for silage. This study investigated two Megathyrsus maximus (formerly Panicum mamximum) cultivars…

Assessing deforestation leakage associated with the scaling of sustainable land use systems to inform land use policy in Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/162598
Abstract
Colombia's commitment to scaling sustainable land use systems (SLUS) as part of its Nationally Determined Contributions alongside its pledge to achieve zero net deforestation by 2030 presents a critical challenge: how to ensure that the widespread adoption of these systems does not inadvertently lead to increased deforestation in surrounding landscapes.…

Towards the integrated management of Water, Energy, Food, and Ecosystems (WEFE): A sensitization course for policy-/decision makers
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/152242
Abstract
Sustainable and integrated management of water, energy, food, and ecosystems requires a coordinated and cross-sectoral approach to manage trade-offs and maximize synergies among these deeply interconnected resources. This line of action is called the water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE) nexus approach. This 4-hour sensitization course is designed for…

Effect of clonal integration on drought and waterlogging response in urochloa humidicola
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/155545
Abstract
Clonal integration allows for the sharing of resources such as water, nutrients, and photosynthates among individual subunits of clonal plants, promoting adaptation to diverse environmental and ecological conditions. In livestock production systems, a key aspect in adapting to climate change is the use of forage materials tolerant to abiotic stresses such as water deficit and waterlogging. The…

Tank Cascade System (TCS): A Nature-based solution for achieving climate resilience in Sri Lanka’s dry zone
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/152319
Abstract
The Tank Cascade System (TCS) is an ancient, man-made water management system unique to Sri Lanka’s dry zone. An ecosystem in itself, the TCS consists of an intricate network of small to very large ‘tanks’ positioned along a gradient and connected through a series of canals. Within the system, paddy fields and dense forests coexist providing habitats for ecologically significant…

Mapping indicators in African NDCs and NAPs
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/159728
Abstract
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of adaptation indicators included in African Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). It begins with the genesis of the work, which originated from an analysis commissioned by the African Group of Negotiators Expert Support (AGNES), followed by an outline of the methodology used in assessing and cataloging these indicators. The findings contribute…

A conceptual framework for agency and behavior change in agri-food systems transformation
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/152467
Abstract
Systems transformation is increasingly recognized as necessary to improve the sustainability, equity, and resilience of agri-food systems. This requires a shift away from linear narratives of innovation development, adoption, and impact that dominate in agricultural research for development. The CGIAR Initiative on Agroecology takes a systems transformation approach to agroecological transition in…
