Participatory crop improvement and formal release of Jethobudho rice landrace in Nepal by Gyaw, S., Sthapit, B.R., Bhandari, B., Bajracharya, J., Shrestha, P.K., Upadhyay, Madhusudan P., Jarvis, Devra I.

“…Community based seed production groups were formed, linked to the Nepal District Self Seed Sufficiency Programme (DISSPRO), and trained to produce basic seeds (truthfully labeled) of Jethobudho. The National Seed Board of Nepal released the enhanced landrace in the name of ‘‘Pokhareli Jethobudho’’ in 2006, as the first bulk variety of traditional high quality aromatic rice improved through articipatory plant breeding to be formally released in Nepal for general cultivation under the national seed certification scheme. …”

Power, policy and the Prunus africana bark trade, 1972-2015 by Cunningham, A.B., Anoncho, V.F., Sunderland, Terry C.H.

“…This paper draws upon several approaches, combining knowledge in working with P. africana over a 30-year period with a thorough literature review and updated trade data with “ground-truthing” in the field in 2013 and 2014. This enabled the construction of a good perspective on trade volumes (1991–2012), bark prices (and value-chain data) and the gaps between research reports and practice. …”

Co-design of Agroecology Indicators with local communities: The Challenges and Perspectives for Agroecological Transition Evaluation by Bahri, Haithem, Alary, Veronique, Toukebri, Wael, Barbouchi, Meriem, M'hamed, Hatem Cheikh, Ouerghemmi, Hassen, Shiri, Zahra, Annabi, Mohamed, Frija, Aymen

“…Risks are mostly related to the biases that can be induced by oversimplifying the process (leading to superficial and non-relevant indicators), lack of harmony and coordination between both processes of pathways establishment and indicators construction (leading to indicators which are not necessarily reflecting the progress on the transition pathway activities), and to the complexity of packaging simplistic (observable indicators which are relevant to all stakeholders including farmers) and more scientific-oriented ones which needs accurate data collection and ground truthing. This communication occurred during the ‘sustainable agroecology: governance, practices, potentials, and tensions in a comparative perspective’ workshop in Kassel, Germany, as part of the “Agriculture, Ecology and Societies program” initiative and the DAAD-funded Global Partnership Network of University of Kassel, as well as the DAAD-funded AURORA (Sustainable Agriculture and social-ecological systems approaches in higher education in the MENA region) project, which aims to map sustainable agroecology in diverse social-ecological, historical and geo-political contexts (University of Kassel – 17-18 July 2023).…”
