Measuring varietal success on-farm with rank-based metrics
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178704
Abstract
This one-page brief presents how the 1000FARMS team is developing and validating rank-based indicators to better interpret data from on-farm variety testing using the tricot approach. By analyzing farmers' rankings of different varieties, the team is building new metrics—such as rank agreement, rank distance, and probability of outperforming a reference variety—to capture varietal performance from a user-centered perspective.…

A Six-step Approach for scaling low-emission food systems: Evidence and guidelines
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/174077
Abstract
The global food system is a major contributor to climate change and is responsible for approximately one-third of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In many low- and middle-income countries, scaling innovations for climate-change mitigation requires identifying the right incentives, as well as navigating complex realities such as policies, regulations, and value chainrelated barriers.…

Using rankings to evaluate genetic performance and gain across space and time
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179502
Abstract
This poster showcases how data collected through the tricot approach can be used to estimate genetic gain in crop breeding programs. It explains the assumptions, methods, and implications of calculating genetic gain from decentralized on-farm testing. The work, developed as part of the 1000FARMS Platform project, highlights how integrating farmer-generated data can support more responsive and adaptive breeding…

Rapid deterioration of water and pasture resources in Ethiopia’s lowlands: A comparative analysis of January 2025 and January 2026 conditions using a digital early warning system
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181259
Abstract
Pastoral and agro-pastoral systems in Ethiopia’s lowlands are increasingly exposed to climate variability and recurrent drought. This study analyzes changes in water and pasture availability between January 2025 and January 2026 using outputs from a rangeland monitoring system (ETH - Rangeland). Results showed…

Youth in relation to agroecology: practices, promises, and perceptions in five countries
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179256
Abstract
In the context of rising youth populations in many low- and middle-income countries, coupled with high youth unemployment and aging farmer populations, this paper asks in what ways agroecology, as a sustainable alternative to the conventional agricultural practices and paradigm, attracts youth to farming and rural-based livelihoods. We draw on empirical data from semi-structured interviews and…
