COVID-19 and the bovine livestock sector in Colombia: Current and potential developments, impacts and mitigation options por Burkart, Stefan, Díaz, Manuel Francisco, Enciso-Valencia, Karen, Urrea Benítez, José Luis, Charry-Camacho, Andrés, Triana Ángel, Natalia

“…The transformation of the primary sector towards more sustainability and efficiency is becoming urgent, not only to increase resilience during times of crisis (as in the actual COVID-19 situation), but also to face the aggravating effects of climate change and combat inequality. Digitalization and virtualization have become important means during the crisis in all links of the value chains, creating opportunities for sustainably increasing sector efficiency. …”

The COVID-19 pandemic and global food security por Mardones, F.O., Rich, Karl M., Boden, L.A., Moreno Switt, A.I., Caipo, M.L., Zimin-Veselkoff, N.A., Abdulaziz, M., Baltenweck, Isabelle

“…All aspects are crucial to food security that would require “One Health” approaches as the concept may be able to manage risks in a cost-effective way with cross-sectoral, coordinated investments in human, environmental, and animal health. Like climate change, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will be most acutely felt by the poorest and most vulnerable countries and communities. …”

The nexus approach as a tool for resources management in resilient cities and multifunctional land-use systems por Hulsmann, S., Jampani, Mahesh

“…In particular, it was argued that the Nexus Approach is key for the sustainable use of environmental resources under conditions of global change and provides a tool to deal with challenges of global change including climate change, urbanization and population growth. Building on conceptual considerations with regard to monitoring and implementation outlined earlier, here, we explore how the Nexus Approach may provide solutions for managing resources in multifunctional land-use systems and resilient cities. …”

Policy options for advancing seed systems for vegetatively propagated crops in Vietnam por Gatto, M., Le, Dung Phuong, Pacillo, Grazia, Maredia, Mywish K., Hareau, Guy, Spielman, David J., Labarta, Ricardo Antonio

“…Though effective at a localized scale, these informal systems are unlikely to accommodate expansion of the cassava and potato sectors and unlikely to prove effective in managing increases in pest and disease pressures that result from cross-border trade or climate change. We discuss alternative policy approaches and argue that the most appropriate policy regime requires a careful balance between a permissive regime at the local level and strict regulatory surveillance and enforcement at the national and regional levels. …”

People-Centric Nature-Based Land Restoration through Agroforestry: A Typology por Noordwijk, M. van, Gitz, V., Minang, Peter A., Dewi, S., Leimona, B., Duguma, L., Pingaut, N., Meybeck, A.

“…Relevant interventions start from core values of human identity while addressing five potential bottlenecks: Rights, Know-how, Markets (inputs, outputs, credit), Local Ecosystem Services (including water, agrobiodiversity, micro/mesoclimate) and Teleconnections (global climate change, biodiversity). Six stages of forest transition (from closed old-growth forest to open-field agriculture and re-treed (peri)urban landscapes) can contextualize interventions, with six special places: water towers, riparian zone and wetlands, peat landscapes, small islands and mangroves, transport infrastructure, and mining scars. …”

The Potato of the Future: Opportunities and Challenges in Sustainable Agri-food Systems por Devaux, A., Goffart, J., Kromann, P., Andrade-Piedra, J.L., Polar, Vivian, Hareau, Guy

“…It concludes with a discussion about the challenges for sustainable potato cropping enhancement considering the needs to increase productivity in rural-based potato food systems that predominate in low-income countries, while promoting better resource management and optimization in industrial-based agri-food systems considering factors such as quality, diversity of products, health impacts, and climate change effects. Research and innovation options and policies that could facilitate the requirements of both rural and industrial potato-based agri-food systems are described.…”
