Studies related with the nature of post-harvest physiological deterioration in cassava roots
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/71441
Abstract
Post-harvest physiological deterioration of cassava roots is a serious limiting factor affecting storage over even short periods of time. The resulting black pigments render the roots inedible to both humans and animals. A better understanding of the causes of this problem and methods of control were the principal aims of the…

Climate change, agriculture and food security: a global partnership to link research and action for low-income agricultural producers and consumers
Abstract
To achieve food security for many in low-income and middle income countries for whom this is already a challenge, especially with the additional complications of climate change, will require early investment to support smallholder farming systems and the associated food systems that supply poor consumers. We need both local and global policy-linked research to accelerate sharing of lessons on…

Biofortification in underutilized staple crops for nutrition in Asia and Africa
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98325
Abstract
Malnutrition is one of the biggest public health challenges of the century with about 2 billion people affected by it globally. Biofortification is the process of breeding micronutrients traits into staple food crops, which is bioavailable to make a positive measurable impact to the population that eats such staples on a daily basis. It is…

The nature and impact of climate change in the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) basins
Abstract
In this article the authors assess the potential impacts of projected climate change on water, livelihoods and food security in the Basin Focal Project basins. The authors consider expected change within the context of recently observed climate variability in the basins to better understand the potential impact of expected change and the options available for adaptation. They use multi-global circulation model climate projections for the AR4 SRES…

Gene effects and heterosis for grain iron and zinc concentration in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
Abstract
The aim of this study was to understand the inheritance of grain iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and to assess the possibility of exploiting heterosis to improve these micronutrients. Three sets of full diallel crosses were made, one set using five parents contrasting for both grain Fe and Zn…

Strengthening the resilience of small-scale fisheries: A modeling approach to explore the use of in-shore pelagic resources in Melanesia
WorldFish (WorldFish)
Abstract
Small-scale fisheries play a critical role in both poverty alleviation and food security. A large proportion of the world fish stocks are, however, getting fully or over-exploited. In this article we address these issues in the context of the small-scale fisheries of the Solomon Islands. The paper explores the extent to which in-shore Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs)…

Collaborative effort to operationalize the gender transformative approach in the Barotse Floodplain
WorldFish (WorldFish)
Abstract
The gender transformative approach (GTA) being pursued by the CGIAR Research Program on Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) seeks to address the causes and consequences of gender inequalities. Aquatic agricultural systems are those in which production in natural freshwater and/ or coastal ecosystems contribute substantially to peopleâ??s food, nutrition and economic security. This CRP is implemented by…

Viability and resilience of small-scale fisheries through cooperative arrangements
WorldFish (WorldFish)
Abstract
The small-scale fisheries sector in many Pacific islands is facing increasing challenges in relation to resource availability, economic opportunity, and demographic and social pressure. In particular, intensifying cash-oriented livelihood strategies can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and threaten food security and resource conservation. In this paper the authors develop a bio-economic model and a quantitative measure…
