Navigating environmental and social risk in supply chains: how research supports sustainable business
As businesses come under increasing pressure to ensure that their supply chains are not causing harm and are in fact sustainable, social and environmental risk factors such as deforestation or child labor need to be managed. But current approaches focus on symptoms of problems rather than their root causes. A tool has been…

Abstract
Food systems are complex, multi-dimensional and multi-sectoral. Better understanding their dynamics and assessing their performances is critical if we want to strengthen their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.
A flurry of initiatives has emerged in the last few years, that propose multi-indicator “compendiums” intended to describe more holistically national food systems. Many of those compendiums, however, are made of 100 or more…

Potential forage hybrid markets for enhancing sustainability and food security in East Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129998
Abstract
The cattle sector is strategic for both the economic development and food security of Africa, but the low availability and quality of forage puts the most vulnerable population at risk. Hybrid forages are an alternative for enhancing both food security and sustainability of the sector but adoption levels are still low in Africa, which is related to various factors such as the availability of seeds…

Combined effects of drought and soil fertility on the synthesis of vitamins in green leafy vegetables
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130251
Abstract
Green leafy vegetables, such as Vigna unguiculata, Brassica oleraceae, and Solanum scabrum, are important sources of vitamins A, B1, and C. Although vitamin deficiencies considerably affect human health, not much is known about the effects of changing soil and climate conditions on vegetable vitamin concentrations. The effects of high or low soil fertility and three drought intensities (75…

Abstract
While most of the literature on park management and nature conservation has focused on the negative implications
for local people’s livelihoods, fewer studies have empirically analysed local people’s strategies in responding to these
policies and renegotiating their position to continue their traditional livelihoods using their traditional knowledge
and legal systems. This study…

Abstract
The achievement of several sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Agreement depends on rapid progress towards sustainable food and land systems in all countries. We have built a flexible, collaborative modeling framework to foster the development of national pathways by local research teams and their integration up to global scale. Local researchers independently customize national models to…

Abstract
A critical question is whether agroecology can promote climate change mitigation and adaptation outcomes without compromising food security. We assessed the outcomes of smallholder agricultural systems and practices in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) against 35 mitigation, adaptation, and yield indicators by reviewing 50 articles with 77 cases of agroecological treatments…
