Food security and forest access in the Colombian and Peruvian Amazon
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181847
Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between forest access and food security in indigenous and non-indigenous communities of the Colombian and Peruvian Amazon. Using household-level survey data and dietary diversity indicators, we find that forest quality and ethnic group membership are significant determinants of food security outcomes. Communities with better forest access exhibit higher dietary diversity, and…

Biocultural diversity for food system transformation under global environmental change
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115371
Abstract
Biocultural diversity is central to the nutrition, resilience, and adaptive capacity of Indigenous and traditional peoples, who collectively maintain the longest ongoing human experiences with the provision of food under environmental change. In the form of crops and livestock and associated knowledge on their cultivation and use, food-related biocultural diversity likewise underpins global food security…

Approximating soil organic carbon stock in the Eastern Plains of Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/114402
Abstract
In Colombia, the rise of agricultural and pastureland expansion continues to exert increasing pressure on the structure and ecological processes of savannahs in the Eastern Plains. However, the effect of land use change on soil properties is often unknown due to poor access to remote areas. Effective management and conservation of soils requires the development spatial approaches that measure and predict dynamic soil…

Implementation of a tunnel system for scaling-out high-quality cassava planting material
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179051
Abstract
The production of high-quality cassava planting material is a key strategy for mitigating the spread of pests and diseases. To promote the adoption of such strategies by farmers, it is essential to strengthen local capacities through knowledge transfer and the incorporation of innovative technologies, such as tunnels for rapid propagation (TxRPs), which have been successfully implemented in various…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158276
Abstract
International, regional, and national organizations, alongside policymakers, are increasingly acknowledging the crucial connection between climate, peace, and security. However, there remains a notable gap in research methodologies capable of fully grasping the intricate dynamics of this relationship. This paper introduces the Integrated Climate Security Framework (ICSF), a comprehensive mixed-methods approach…

Too poor to choose? Analyzing food agency in food insecure households in rural Burundi
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179739
Abstract
Despite recent attention, the concept of food agency has been largely overlooked in academics as a food security dimension.
In this study, we define lack of food agency as the inability to make food choices and the consumption of non-preferred and
undesirable foods, and examine its relation to other food insecurity domains and household characteristics. Our analysis
is based on data collected from 486…

Unravelling the diversity in water usage among wild banana species in response to vapour pressure deficit
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131763
Abstract
The rise in global temperature is not only affecting plant functioning directly, but is also increasing air vapour pressure deficit (VPD). The yield of banana is heavily affected by water deficit but so far breeding programs have never addressed the issue of water deficit caused by high VPD. A reduction in transpiration at high VPD has been suggested as a key drought tolerance breeding…
