User-centred design of a digital advisory service: enhancing public agricultural extension for sustainable intensification in Tanzania
Bioversity-CIAT Alliance (Bioversity-CIAT Alliance)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/107093
Abstract
Sustainable intensification (SI) is promoted as a rural development paradigm for sub-Saharan Africa. Achieving SI requires smallholder farmers to have access to information that is context-specific, increases their decision-making capacities, and adapts to changing environments. Current…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110464
Abstract
Gender differences and gender inequalities in rights, status and responsibilities significantly shape daily rural life and life cycles in rural West Africa (Levasseur 2003), where women face significant constraints in participating in activities aimed at restoring forests and farmland. Yet, they also find innovative ways to overcome such…

Assessing ecosystem services from multifunctional trees in pastures using Bayesian belief networks
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/72795
Abstract
A Bayesian belief network (BBN) was developed to assess preferred combinations of trees in live fences and on pastures in silvopastoral systems. The BBN was created with information from Rivas, Nicaragua, using local farmer knowledge on tree species, trees' costs and benefits, farmers' expressed needs and…

Coconut palms on the edge of the desert: genetic diversity of Cocos nucifera L. in Oman
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/104959
Abstract
In the Gulf region, coconuts are almost exclusively produced from palms growing in the Sultanate of Oman, particularly in the extreme south-eastern coastal plain of the Dhofar Governorate, and specifically within the city limits of Salalah, between the Jebel and the sea. The importance of these coconuts is not only agricultural; historically, the Dhofar palms provided the basic materials to build boats…

Community mobilization: a key to effective control of banana Xanthomonas wilt
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/35843
Abstract
Banana xanthomonas wilt (BXW) remains a major threat to banana, an important food and income crop for 12 million poor small-holder farmers in Uganda. Although, BXW has been controlled to some extent in parts of South-western Uganda, it is still a big problem in banana growing areas of Central and Eastern Uganda. We hypothesized that…
