Designing gender-inclusive digital solutions for agricultural development
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/118446
Abstract
Digital tools play an increasingly important role in agricultural research for development. Often, they fall short in fulfilling their promises for women or other marginalized groups. Adoption across these groups is often low. One key reason for this is a narrow and techno-centric perspective on digital tool design. Human Centered Design brings a change in perspective on digital innovations towards more inclusive…

How does climate exacerbate root causes of conflict in Nigeria? An econometric analysis
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116311
Abstract
This factsheet assesses how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Nigeria, using a two-stage econometric approach. The findings show how increased rainfall increases the nutrition security of Nigerian households and that the combined effect of extreme temperature and nutrition insecurity increases the intensity of conflicts.

Silvo-pastoral systems and public policies in Latin America: A comparative analysis
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115925
Abstract
Latin America and the Caribbean play an essential role in the global cattle sector since they contribute more than 25% of the global beef and 10% of the global milk production. The sector generates both internal and external benefits as it guarantees the food security of the countries and energizes their economies. Cattle production in the region not only goes back a long way but also appears to be…

How does climate exacerbate root causes of conflict? Mapping the science around climate security
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116463
Abstract
This factsheet gives answers on how global climate research addresses the dynamics between climate, socio-economic factors, and conflict, and how the countries in focus for the Climate Security Observatory are represented in this literature. The analysis has found that while the literature is cognisant of the mechanisms by which climate exacerbates the risk for conflicts, there is still space…

Abstract
This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Zimbabwe, using network analysis. Results show that agricultural land ownership and wealth inequalities are among the major factors placed at the intersection of climate variabilities and conflicts. These two themes further govern poverty and food insecurity.

Abstract
To increase the productivity of tropical cattle systems and at the same time mitigate the environmental impacts of the cattle sector, a strategy of improving the quality and availability of cattle feed has been implemented through substantial improvements in forage germplasm (Herrero et al., 2013; Gerber et al., 2013; Peters et al., 2012). With this objective, significant resources have been allocated for…
