FTA Highlight No.5 – Food Security and Nutrition por Ickowitz, A., McMullin, S., Dawson, Ian K., Sunderland, T.C.H., Powell, B., Nurhasan, M., Vinceti, B., Jamnadass, Ramni, Meybeck, A., Gitz, V.

“…Despite these important contributions, food trees remain an underutilized resource, ecosystem-level functions of forests and trees to sustain agriculture are often not fully taken into account in land management, and land-use change has a profound impact on diets. FTA has generated scientific findings on all of these contributions of forests and trees to food security and nutrition. …”

Enhancement of the aroma compound 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline in Thai Jasmine Rice (Oryza sativa) by rhizobacteria under salt stress por Chinachanta, Kawiporn, Shutsrirung, Arawan, Herrmann, Laetitia, Lesueur, Didier, Pathom-aree, Wasu

“…The key aroma compound, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP), has undergone a gradual degrada tion due to anthropogenic soil salinization driven by excessive chemical input and climate change. Here, we propose a cheaper and an ecofriendly solution to improve the 2AP levels, based on the application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). …”

Soil Nutrient Contents in East African Climate-Smart Villages: Effects of Climate-Smart Agriculture Interventions por Recha, John W.M., Ambaw, Gebermedihin, Nigussie, Abebe, Radeny, Maren A.O., Solomon, Dawit

“…Short-term and plot-level trials mostly produce data on the advantages of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices on food security in a changing climate. Previous studies evaluated only one or a combination of a few CSA practices that improved soil nutrients, particularly in the landscapes of East Africa; hence, it is difficult to draw general conclusions. …”

Variability of precipitation recycling and moisture sources over the Colombian Pacific Region: A precipitationshed approach por Enciso, Angelica, Baquero, Olga, Escobar, Daniel, Tapasco, Jeimar, Loaiza, Wilmar

“…The results indicate a unimodal precipitation recycling ratio for the North and Central Pacific and Patía-Mira regions, with the highest percentages between March and April, reaching 30% and 34%, respectively, and the lowest between September and October (between 19% and 21%). Moreover, monthly changes in the circulation of the region promote a remarkable variability of the sources that contribute to the precipitation of the study area and the spatial dynamics of the precipitationshed. …”

FR1.3: Gender-responsive investments and policies in response to the crisis brought about by Russia's war on Ukraine por Ringler, Claudia, Bryan, Elizabeth

“…Women also face greater challenges accessing agricultural inputs and resources—higher fertilizer and energy input prices can further constrain women's access to inputs, exacerbating the gender productivity gap. At the same time, changes in production practices due to rising input costs may add to women's already high labor and time burden, for example, when agro-chemicals are replaced by weeding or motorized irrigation is replaced by manual water lifting. …”
