The Economic and Legal Sides of Additionality in Payments for Environmental Services por Karsenty, A., Aubert, S., Brimont, L., Dutilly, C., Desbureaux, S., Ezzine-de-Blas, D., Le Velly, G.

“…This paper aims to clarify two distinct but complementary questions on economic and legal additionality in the payments for environmental services (PES) debate based on examples from the literature and direct observations made in Madagascar and Mexico. For the economic dimension of additionality, we explain two ‘regimes of justification’, efficiency on the one hand and social equity on the other, and discuss how analysts position themselves with regard to both regimes. …”

Market opportunities for African agriculture: A General Equilibrium examination of demand-side constraints on agricultural growth in East and Southern Africa por Diao, Xinshen, Dorosh, Paul A., Rahman, Shaikh Mahfuzur

“…The report applies a general equilibrium framework for the analysis, focusing on seven East and Southern African countries—Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe—and finds that an export-led agricultural growth strategy is unlikely to generate substantial overall income growth in these countries.…”

Variation in qualitative and quantitative traits of cassava germplasm from selected national breeding programmes in subSaharan Africa por Kawuki, Robert S., Ferguson, Morag E., Labuschagne, Maryke T., Herselman, L., Orone, J., Ralimanana, I., Bidiaka, M., Lukombo, S., Kanyange, M.C., Gashaka, G., Mkamilo, G.S., Gethi, J.

“…Thus, the overall objective of this study was to examine the phenotypic variation in cassava germplasm available within six breeding programmes in Africa, namely Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Madagascar. In each country, single-row plots were used for assessment of 29 qualitative traits and evaluation of four quantitative traits: root dry matter content (DMC), harvest index (HI), leaf retention (LR) and root cortex thickness. …”

Unsustainable development pathways caused by tropical deforestation por Carrasco, Luis Roman, Nghiem, Le, Chen, Zhirong, Barbier, Edward B.

“…We identify several groups of countries: countries, such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and India, that present sustainable development trajectories under both weak and strong sustainability criteria; countries, such as Brazil, Peru, and Indonesia, that present weak sustainable development but fail the strong sustainability criterion as a result of rapid losses of ecosystem services; countries, such as Madagascar, Laos, and Papua New Guinea, that present unsustainable development pathways as a result of deforestation; and countries, such as Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone, in which deforestation aggravates already unsustainable pathways. …”

Coconut palms on the edge of the desert: genetic diversity of Cocos nucifera L. in Oman por Perera, L., Baudouin, L., Bourdeix, Roland, Bait Fadhil, A., Hountondji, F.C.C., Al-Shanfri, A.

“…Microsatellite markers, however, reveal a substantial genetic contribution of the South-East Asian coconuts, at levels that are comparable to those found in the Comoros and Madagascar coconuts. Hypotheses about the ancestry of the Oman Tall coconuts are discussed; two genepools are indicated, consecutively involving natural selection, dissemination by floating, domestic selection and dispersal by boat.…”
