Introgression of genes for dry matter content from wild cassava species by Ojulong, H, Labuschangne, M., Herselman, L., Fregene, Martin A.

“…The objectives of this study were to evaluate one resulting inter-specific cross with high variability for dry matter content (DMC) and to assess the effect of such a cross on other yield related traits. Crossing of the elite cultivar MTAI 8 to the wild relative Manihot tristis increased the percentage DMC above the normal average of about 35%, with percentage DMC ranging from 34.39 to 42.73. …”

The return of the state: neocollectivism,agrarian politics and images of technological progress in the MAS era in Bolivia by Córdoba, Diana M., Jansen, Kees

“…This state company, which supports small producers, envisions a new agrarian structure of production and commercialization, one that will break the power of the Santa Cruz–based agro‐industrial elite. Drawing on a discussion of the mechanisms of governance employed by this state entity, we argue that new complexities in state–civil society relations and a low state capacity have constrained its ability to shift power relationships between the state and the agro‐industrial elites. …”

The context of REDD+ in Indonesia: Drivers, agents and institutions [Update edition] by Dwisatrio, B., Said, Z., Permatasari, A.P., Maharani, C., Moeliono, M., Wijaya, A., Lestari, A.A., Yuwono, J., Pham Thu Thuy

“…Major issues surrounding REDD+ implementation include weak implementation of various international agreements, contradictory regulations and weak coordination between government agencies, changing national political regimes that affects transformation commitment, disconnection between central and regional levels, unclear REDD+ projects impact, and continuous business as usual solution to bridge conservation and development. More attention to elite capture is needed to avoid bias of promoting business and economic growth for the benefit of all but at the expense of the environment.…”

Bundled Climate-Smart Innovations for Small Ruminants in Ethiopia by Ewell, Hanna, Haile, Aynalem, Getachew, Tesfaye, Makonnen, Brook T., Ambaw, Gebermedihin, Solomon, Dawit, Girvetz, Evan

“…. ◼ A phased 2025–2030 roadmap prioritizes technical quality, demand, and investment (including revolving funds, PPPs, public budgets, and emerging carbon finance), as well as sustained use through policy integration and governance that prevents elite capture. Gender- and youth-responsive delivery (female extension, tailored finance) and context-specific tailoring across highland/lowland systems are essential to reach ~0.93M households toward 60% coverage.…”
