Characterization of bean seed producers, seed production and marketing in Eastern and Southern Africa by Rubyogo, Jean-Claude, Kalemera, Sylvia Monica, Aseete, Paul

“…Bean breeders have produced several climate smart bean varieties, but the rate of adoption and variety turnover remains low yet crop breeding is perceived as an important pathway for increasing yield potential and adapt small scale farmers to climate change (Marcho et al., 2020). The private sector has not been keen to supply bean seed because of high rates of seed recycling by farmers given the self-pollinating and limited genetic deterioration of the crop (Rubyogo et al., 2019). …”

Strengthening Adaptive Capacity of Extensive Livestock Systems for Food and Nutrition Security and Low-emissions Development in Eastern and Southern Africa by Auma, Joseph, Radeny, Maren A.O.

“…These systems experience environmental (land, water, ecosystem) degradation, economic (low investment, lack of access to inputs, credit, markets) and human and institutional capacity (poor infrastructure, advisory services) related constraints, often exacerbated by extreme weather events and climate change. As a result, shortage of feedstock is common, coupled with poor health and highly variable and low productivity. …”
