Bangladesh Food System Profile. Better understanding food systems at country level
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129164
Abstract
This Bangladesh food system profile is composed of three main blocks of information: (a) system drivers; (b) system components; and (c) system outcomes.
The first main block recognizes how environmental, demographic, technological, political, economic, social, and cultural drivers influence the food system—from production to consumption. The second block considers three components of the system: its actors…

Establishing the linkage between Eba's instrumental and sensory descriptive profiles and their correlation with consumer preferences: implications for cassava breeding
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129148
Abstract
Gari and eba, forms of cassava semolina, are mainly consumed in Nigeria and other West African countries. This study aimed to define the critical quality traits of gari and eba, to measure their heritability, to define medium and high throughput instrumental methods for use by breeders, and to link the traits with…

Simulating cocoa production: A review of modelling approaches and gaps
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129108
Abstract
Cocoa is an important commodity crop and source of income for millions of small-holder farmers. Nonetheless, questions on cocoa tree functioning, best management practices and climate change responses remain. Modelling is a powerful tool to address these questions, complementing experimental work that is expensive and time consuming due to the long productive cycle of the cocoa system. However, compared to other crops,…

Abstract
Pests and diseases are key biotic constraints limiting banana production among smallholder farmers in Eastern and Central Africa. Climate changemay favour pest and disease development and further exacerbate the vulnerability of smallholder farming systems to biotic constraints. Information on effects of climate change on pests and pathogens of banana is required by…

Agricultural diversity linkage to income, wealth, diets and nutrition: Case of Lilongwe district in Malawi
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129147
Abstract
There is global debate whether to diversify agricultural production. A study was conducted in 2016 and 2017 in Lilongwe district, Malawi, to determine effects of agricultural diversity on income, wealth, diets and nutrition. A cross-sectional design was used in surveys on agriculture, income, assets, and nutrition coupled with anthropometric measurements targeting children, men, and…

Impact of soil compaction on common bean yield in East Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129141
Abstract
Bean yield can decrease up to 73% in the East Africa region (EAF, consisting of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda) under soil compaction (with an increase in bulk density of up to 17%) combined with drought stress, althoughimpact of soil compaction alone on bean yield is relatively less – around 12%. Therefore, the target of increasing bean yield (set, for example, by the CGIAR Excellence in Breeding Platform) to meet the dietary…
