Home gardens of Central Asia: Reservoirs of diversity of fruit and nut tree species
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/121892
Abstract
Central Asia is an important center of origin for many globally valued fruit and nut tree species. Forest degradation and deforestation are cause for concern for the conservation of these valuable species. Home gardens have the important function of sustaining household food consumption and income generation, and can play a critical role in conserving the diversity of fruit and nut trees. The dataset…

Climate change and seed system interventions impact on food security and incomes in East Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119778
Abstract
Climate change is challenging agricultural productivity, especially in Africa. Adoption of improved or diverse seed varieties is a promising strategy to achieve increased yields, support food security and reduce poverty under climate change in East Africa. However, rigorous impact evaluations linking the contributions of improved seeds to the welfare of households have been limited. This paper…

Embedding circularity into the transition towards sustainable agroforestry systems in Peru
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119780
Abstract
Peru is promoting the adoption of agroforestry systems with the aim to halt the deforestation of tropical forests caused by smallholder farmers. However, deficient soil conservation practices and nutrient management are common among the targeted smallholders, hampering the success of this strategy. In this study, we explore the potential of valorizing municipal biowaste as compost to be used as soil…

Abstract
This study estimates economic returns to investments in rice varietal development in the Philippines and Bangladesh. The net returns to IRRI and national partners' investments remain strongly positive. However, the returns are decreasing at a faster rate in the Philippines (24%) than in Bangladesh (6%). IRRI and national partners should continue investing in rice R&…

A map of global peatland extent created using machine learning (Peat-ML)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119957
Abstract
Peatlands store large amounts of soil carbon and freshwater, constituting an important component of the global carbon and hydrologic cycles. Accurate information on the global extent and distribution of peatlands is presently lacking but is needed by Earth system models (ESMs) to simulate the effects of climate change on the global carbon and hydrologic balance. Here, we present Peat-ML, a spatially continuous global…
