Scaling Gem Parboiling And Rice By-Products: Insights And Lessons Learned From 2022 To 2025 by Dossou Yovo, Elliott Ronald, Diabate, Fatoumata, Suh, Neville Ndohnwi

“…Parboiling and the valorisation of rice by-products play an increasingly critical role in strengthening climate resilience, food security, and women’s economic empowerment within Mali’s rice-based systems. As climate change intensifies production risks through unpredictable rainfall, floods, droughts, and declining soil fertility, post-harvest innovations have emerged as key adaptation strategies that ensure both value addition and reduced losses. …”

Genome-Wide Dissection of Novel QTLs and Genes Associated with Weed Competitiveness in Early-Backcross Selective Introgression-Breeding Populations of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) by Nocito, Kim Diane, Murugaiyan, Varunseelan, Ali, Jauhar, Pandey, Ambika, Casal, Carlos, De Asis, Erik Jon, Dimaano, Nina Gracel

“…The direct-seeded rice (DSR) system is poised to become the dominant rice cultivation method due to its advantages, including reduced water usage, less labor requirements, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and improved adaptation to climate change. However, weeds, particularly jungle rice (Echinochloa colona), significantly hinder DSR and cause substantial yield losses. …”

Mapping potential soil erosion in East Africa using the Universal Soil Loss Equation and secondary data by Claessens, Lieven, Breugel, P. van, Notenbaert, An Maria Omer, Herrero, Mario, Steeg, Jeannette van de

“…Especially the tropics are vulnerable because of the circumstantial convergence of intense climatic regimes, frequently fragile soils, low levels of fertilizer use and conservation practices and strong dependence on soil quality for livelihoods. In addition, climate change is expected to aggravate the already existing vulnerabilities of the poorest people who depend on semi-subsistence agriculture for their survival. …”

Inventory, sustainability assessment, and upscaling of best agricultural water management practices by Loulseged, Makonnen, Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele, Jayasinghe, Gayathree, Hagos, Fitsum, Erkossa, Teklu

“…It is the belief of many analysts that agrarian countries like Ethiopia that depend on rain-fed agriculture are significantly vulnerable to rainfall variability, the risk which tends to aggravate with global climate change. Consequently, it is believed that future increases in food supplies and economic prosperity depend heavily on effective agricultural water management. …”
