Facilitating Change for Climate-Smart Agriculture through Science-Policy Engagement
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/96265
Abstract
Climate change impacts on agriculture have become evident, and threaten the achievement of global food security. On the other hand, the agricultural sector itself is a cause of climate change, and if actions are not taken, the sector might impede the achievement of global climate goals. Science-policy engagement efforts are crucial to ensure that scientific findings from agricultural research for development…

Agrobacterium mediated transformation of banana (Musa sp.) cv. Sukali Ndiizi (ABB) with a modified Carica papaya cystatin (CpCYS) gene
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/104557
Abstract
Conventional banana breeding for pest and disease resistance is a very difficult and slow process due to the limited sources of resistance, sterility of cultivated banana varieties, high polyploidy levels, long cropping cycle and the lack of rapid screening methods.Molecular breeding using the transgenic approach with candidate genes such as cystatins…

Access to forest resources: women's rights to Parkia biglobosa in three villages in Central-West Burkina Faso
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/78523
Abstract
Parkia biglobosa, a NTFP tree species commonly known as "néré" is particularly important in the diet of rural and urban populations in the Sudano-Sahelian zone. The seeds are processed into a highly nutritious sauce, called "soumbala", combined with cereal dishes. While néré is very popular, its occurrence is declining because of various threats hindering…

Seeds of resilience: novel strategies for using crop diversity in climate change adaptation
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/78539
Abstract
Findings from the field point to a decline in diversity of local varieties in many countries. Future impacts of climate change are expected to become more pronounced in many parts of the world forcing farmers to change their practices and find crops and varieties better adapted to new weather dynamics. Providing farmers with better access to crop and varietal diversity can strengthen…

Relearning traditional knowledge for sustainability: honey gathering in the Miombo Woodland of Northern Mozambique
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/78549
Abstract
Mozambique's Niassa Reserve contains Africa's best preserved miombo woodlands. Half of the households there gather wild honey from natural hives for consumption and income. However, most collectors used destructive techniques: setting fire to the grasses under the hive tree to create smoke and then felling the tree. Cutting trees to obtain honey was the principal…

AgroPortal: a proposition for ontology-based services in the agronomic domain
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/78753
Abstract
Our project is to develop and support a reference ontology repository for the agronomic domain. By reusing the NCBO BioPortal technology, we have already designed and implemented a prototype ontology repository for plants and a few crops. We plan to turn that prototype into a real service to the community. The AgroPortal project aims at reusing the scientific outcomes and experience of the biomedical domain in the…
