Presentations on progress updates in common bean crop improvement within the Central American Cooperative Program for Crop and Animal Improvement (PCCMCA). by Buendia, Hector Fabio, Aragon, Jorge, Valderrama, Luis, Wilker, Jennifer, Polania, Jose Arnulfo, Espitia Ortiz, Ernesto, Beebe, Stephen, Cadena, Christian

“…These results enabled the identification of materials with traits useful for developing bean varieties that are more tolerant to heat and better adapted to climate change scenarios. On the other hand, increasing iron content in the grain was addressed through the evaluation of different crossing strategies between high-yielding materials and genetic sources with a greater capacity to accumulate this micronutrient. …”

World heritage forests: the world heritage convention as a mechanism for conserving tropical forest biodiversity

“…Brief papers analysing the following issues were prepared during the meeting and are included in this volume: (1) how much human modification of forests is consistent with World Heritage status, especially to dispel the myth that conservation objectives are best met by excluding people; (2) how to reconcile the interests of local people with the maintenance of the global values of the sites; and (3) how to establish scientifically defensible methods for detecting changes in the biodiversity of tropical forest sites to provide indicators for triggering adaptive management responses. …”

Insights from a field day: Biofortified rice innovation for resilient agri-food systems by Vargas Gonzalez, Sandra, Gallego, Sonia, Rendon, Natali

“…Biofortified rice was presented as a conventional plant breeding strategy that increases zinc content in the grain, helping to reduce micronutrient deficiencies without requiring changes in dietary habits. Given rice’s high consumption rate in Colombia, biofortification represents a strategic public health intervention. …”

Ecotourism and economic incentives: an empirical approach by Wunder, Sven

“…However, as a conservation incentive, the effectiveness of tourism income depends on the incentive structure inherent in the mode participation, and on the substitution versus complementary of other productive activities: only if tourism changes labour and land allocation decisions, will it have a local conservation impact. …”
