Linked Economic and Animal Systems (LEAS) Model: Technical documentation by Aragie, Emerta A., Beyene, Seneshaw Tamiru, Legesse, Ermias, Thurlow, James

“…The model allows one to closely examine the performance of the livestock sector disaggregated by agroecology zones or regions. The HDM is linked both ways with a core economywide model through economic variables such as relative prices of livestock activities, prices and availability of intermediate inputs including feed, and changes in supply of livestock capital in the meat and milk production sectors. …”

Genetic trends in the Kenya highland maize breeding program between 1999 and 2020 by Ligeyo, Dickson, Saina, Edward, Awalla, Bornface J., Sneller, Clay, Chivasa, Walter, Musundire, Lennin, Makumbi, Dan, Mulanya, Mable, Milic, Dragan, Mutiga, Samuel K., Lagat, Abraham, Das, Biswanath, Prasanna, Boddupali M.

“…These findings highlight the good progress made by KHMP in developing adapted maize hybrids for Kenya's highland agroecology. Nevertheless, the study identified significant opportunities for the KHMP to make even greater genetic gains for key traits with introgression of favorable alleles for various traits, implementing a continuous improvement plan including marker-assisted forward breeding, sparse testing, and genomic selection, and doubled haploid technology for line development.…”
