Genetic diversity determined by agronomic traits and SSR markers in two South American orange‐fleshed sweetpotato breeding populations with potential for population hybrid breeding by Diaz, F., Eyzaguirre, R., David, M., Sevillano, R.B., Low, Jan W., Grüneberg, W.J.

“…This study's main objectives were to determine genetic diversity in parental material of two OFSP populations (PJ and PZ) relative to mega-clones (MCs) using agronomic traits and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to determine whether PJ and PZ are mutually heterotic by developing a PJ × PZ hybrid population (H0). Field trials were performed with clones for PJ (N = 49), PZ (N = 31), MC (N = 21), and H0 (N = 6898) in Peru. …”

Seropositivity rates of zoonotic pathogens in small ruminants and associated public health risks at informal urban markets in Zambia by Lysholm, S., Fischer, K., Lindahl, Johanna F., Munyeme, M., Wensman, Jonas Johansson

“…This study showed that the Zambian informal small ruminant trade system poses risks to public health, and that these risks are exacerbated by a lack of information about food-borne diseases and how associated risks can be mitigated amongst value chain actors. …”

Optimizing Carbon Stocks and Sedimentation in Indonesian Mangroves under Different Management Regimes by Murdiyarso, D., Arifanti, V.B., Sidik, F., Sillanpää, M., Sasmito, S.D.

“…Existing information on the total economic valuation (TEV) of mangroves, which at the landscape scale can be up to USD 29 million, suggests that management regimes should also focus on the ecosystem goods and services provided by mangroves. Here we discuss a variety of management regimes that respond to the unique characteristics of the local mangrove setting, optimizing carbon sequestration and storage functions, and promoting conservation and restoration, so as to achieve sustainable livelihoods.…”

The Effectiveness of Financial Incentives for Addressing Mangrove Loss in Northern Vietnam by Pham Thu Thuy, Vu, T.P., Hoang, T.L., Dao, T.L.C., Nguyen, D.T., Pham, D.C., Dao, L.H.T., Nguyen, V.T., Hoang, N.V.H.

“…While financial incentives have contributed to a larger area of planted mangroves, their effectiveness is hampered by contradictory national policies, which encourage mangrove conservation on the one hand, and aquaculture expansion in mangrove areas on the other, thus making it difficult to address mangrove deforestation and degradation effectively. …”

Gross N transformation rates in soil system with contrasting Urochloa genotypes do not confirm the relevance of BNI as previously assessed in-vitro by Teutscherová, Nikola, Vázquez, Eduardo, Trubač, Jakub, Villegas, Daniel Mauricio, Subbarao, Guntur V., Pulleman, Mirjam Margreet, Arango, Jacobo

“…These assessments are commonly based on potential net nitrification rates, which do not differentiate between gross nitrification and other processes that may reduce the amount of nitrate in soil. In a greenhouse experiment using two genotypes of Urochloa humidicola with contrasting BNI capacity in vitro, we evaluated gross N transformation rates before and after (7 and 21 days) N fertilization, while periodically measuring N2O emissions. …”

Cassava root yield losses caused by root shape, rot and peeling and cut-off for processing of four cassava varieties on different soils in DR Congo by Hauser, S., Bakelana, T.Z., Bungu, D., Mwangu, M.

“…Cassava roots were longer and had a lower diameter on CTS. Cut-off losses were higher on CTS due to larger portions of roots lignified between planting stake and storage root. …”

Staying afloat in the milk business: Borrowing and selling on credit among informal milk vendors in Nairobi by Myers, Emily, Heckert, Jessica, Galiè, Alessandra, Njiru, Nelly, Alonso, Silvia

“…In 2017, we conducted 49 individual interviews, four key informant interviews, and six focus groups with men and women who were current or former milk vendors. A thematic analysis revealed that vendors sell on credit to appeal to customers, which may be advantageous when vendors need to rid themselves of milk before it spoils, regardless of gender. …”

Changing food systems and infectious disease risks in low-income and middle-income countries by Waage, Jeff, Grace, Delia, Fèvre, Eric M., McDermott, John J., Lines, J., Wieland, Barbara, Naylor, N.R., Hassell, James M., Chan, K.

“…We show that successfully addressing all of these challenges requires a coordinated approach between public health and agricultural sectors, recognising the costs and benefits of disease-reducing interventions to both, and seeking win–win solutions that are most likely to attract broad policy support and uptake by food systems.…”
