Global anthropogenic effects on meteorological—hydrological—soil moisture drought propagation: historical analysis and future projection by Wang, S., Huang, S., Wang, C., Zhang, X., Wu, J., Gulakhmadov, A., Niyogi, D., Chen, N.

“…To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive quantitative analysis, integrating historical simulations of various anthropogenic and climatic drivers with future projections based on different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) from the CMIP6. Key features of drought propagation—such as propagation time, probability, and drought characteristics—were assessed across distinct historical and future scenarios to elucidate the anthropogenic influences. …”

Yam urban market characteristics and consumer preferences in Bukavu City, eastern D.R. Congo by Mondo, J., Mugisho, G.M., Chuma, G.B., Agre, A.P., Banda, V.R., Adebola, P.O., Asfaw, A.

“…Market surveys, household interviews, and regression analyses consistently identified taste, softness, tuber flesh color, tuber shape, and tuber size as primary varietal preference criteria in urban settings, with slight differences across gender and age groups. Socioeconomic factors such as household location, education level, dietary integration of yam, and awareness of its nutritional benefits emerged as key drivers of urban yam consumption, regardless of gender and age categories. …”

Is newer better? The effect of varietal age on real-world maize yield in Kenya by Ndegwa, Michael Kariuki, Nyangau, Paul N., Kariuki, Sarah Wairimu, Jaleta, Moti, Michelson, Hope, Cairns, Jill

“…Maize varietal turnover is widely promoted across Sub-Saharan Africa to improve crop productivity and increase food security, yet its impact on yields remains poorly understood amid heterogeneous agroecological and socioeconomic conditions. This study quantifies the yield effects of varietal age in Kenya using a three-wave panel survey (2023-2024) of 4,160 smallholder households across Kenya. …”

Re-orienting Crop Improvement for the Changing Climatic Conditions of the 21st Century by Mba, Chikelu, Guimarães, Elcio Perpétuo, Ghosh, Kakoli

“…The inherent difficulties in achieving this unprecedented increase are exacerbated by the yield-depressing consequences of climate change and variations and by the pressures on food supply by other competing demographic and socioeconomic demands. With the dwindling or stagnant agricultural land and water resources, the sought-after increases will therefore be attained mainly through the enhancement of crop productivity under eco-efficient crop production systems. …”
