Precision agronomic packages to enhance durum wheat productivity. Project report
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179591
Abstract
Input management is among the critical yield-limiting factors in crop production. Recognizing that blanket agronomic recommendations for bread wheat are unsuitable for durum wheat production. Thus, we identified optimal sowing dates and seed rates specifically for farmer-preferred varieties in Gimbichu (East Shewa). According to the current trials, sowing data of July 27 with a seed rate of 150 kg ha-1…

Assessing the real option value of far-from-market multistage agricultural research for development
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179526
Abstract
Agricultural research for development (AR4D) donors face increasingly austere fiscal outlooks that restrict their ability to commit to high impact, high risk, agricultural research projects with long time horizons. This results in a series of short-term, piecemeal funding arrangements that inhibit the AR4D community's ability to conduct the disruptive research necessary to meet the…

Faba bean evolutionary breeding for sustainable agriculture
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179521
Abstract
Evolutionary Plant Breeding (EPB) is an approach that combines diversity usage and evolutionary processes to increase on-farm buffering capacity against changing environmental conditions. It harnesses existing crop diversity and exposes crop varieties to these changing farm conditions to enhance the genotypic adaptation of component plants of the local populations. It enhances the sustainability of agriculture and food systems by…

Using future food demand estimates to inform food policy planning in Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179507
Abstract
• National food demand projections often hide differences in food demand
across counties, which are important for targeted food system planning at the
local level to ensure food security.
• We use downscaled future food demand projections in Kenya to show how
these estimates can support Kenya food policy at the local level.
• Kenyan counties demonstrate different patterns of demand for dietary
diversity in the…
