Accelerating Varietal Turnover Through Digital Multi-Stakeholder Platforms (MSPs) in Tanzania
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177628
Abstract
Varietal turnover (VTO) - the timely replacement of old seed
varieties with newer, improved ones - remains a challenge
for Tanzania’s agricultural productivity, especially for openpollinated
crops such as common beans, groundnuts, and
sorghum. Despite clear benefits of improved varieties,
including yield gains of more than 50%, better disease
resistance, and higher income potential, adoption rates…

Low-methane forages: Discovery, development, and preparation for deployment in the Global South
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177709
Abstract
Food systems are responsible for approximately 60% of anthropogenic methane (CH₄) emissions; livestock contributes half. Reducing enteric methane emissions is a crucial strategy in addressing climate change as CH₄ is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (CO2). One way to reduce CH₄ emissions from the digestive process of ruminant animals is by identifying and developing low-methane…

Zambian women take the lead in adapting food systems to climate change
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177699
Abstract
Women’s contributions in food systems are often unpaid, undervalued and overlooked. And the necessity of climate adaptation now imposes further burdens on them to overcome. Agricultural transformation is often technocratic and top-down, with little to no attention to women’s issues and gender equality. Also, these women are often depicted as “passive victims” rather than agents of change in realising plans for climate-…
