Sweetpotato breeding for northeastern Uganda: Farmer varieties, farmer-participatory selection, and stability of performance por Abidin, P.E.

“…During the farmer participatory phases of this research, farmers were highly competent in sweetpotato varietal selection and were aware of the genotype-by-environment interactions and biodiversity. Results illustrate the potential that farmer varieties can have in the improvement of sweetpotato in Uganda and other regions where high diversity of sweetpotato landraces exists, and allowed us to recommend an approach for the rapid and efficient selection of superior genotypes from local germplasm in East Africa.…”

Sustainable intensification of cattle-husbandry systems in the Colombian Amazon (Caquetá): A cost–benefit analysis por Ludtke, Adrian

“…The extensive cattle-husbandry systems in the Caquetá department, located in the Colombian Amazon, lead to severe environmental impacts, including deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss, among others. To improve the understanding of farmer behavior regarding the adoption of sustainable feed production alternatives, it is crucial to address the lack of information about prevalent farm type-specific cost–benefit structures, as well as differences in profitability levels. …”

Modelling energy metabolism of friesians in Kenya smallholdings shows how heat stress and energy deficit constrain milk yield and cow replacement rate por King, J.M., Parsons, D.J., Turnpenny, J.R., Nyangaga, J., Bakari, P., Wathes, C.M.

“…The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development focussed attention on agricultural sustainability and biodiversity in developing countries. These goals are relevant for livestock production in Kenya, where development agencies encourage resource-poor smallholders to acquire large, exotic, high-yielding dairy cows, despite their poor performance, revealed in recent surveys in the highlands and at the coast. …”

A risk-minimizing argument for traditional crop varietal diversity use to reduce pest and disease damage in agricultural ecosystems por Jarvis, D., Mulumba, J., Peng, H., Paparu, P., Yang, Y., Lu, C., Fadda, Carlo

“…Through a research partnership, over the past eight years, among Biodiversity International and over 30 national and local government and non-government organizations in China, Uganda, Ecuador, and Morocco, high levels of diversity were found within the traditional varieties of a set of globally agreed upon staple crops for the specific pest and disease systems in the four countries: (i) maize (Zea mays): northern leaf blight (Setosphaeria turcica) and stem borer; (ii) common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris): angular leaf spot (Phaeoisariopsis griseola), anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum), rust (Uromyces appendiculatus), and bean fly (Ophiomyia phaseoli; O. spencerella); (iii) faba bean (Vicia faba): aphids (Aphis fabae), chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae), seed pod weevil (Bruchus rufimanus; B. dentipes); (iv) banana and plantain (Musa spp.): black leaf streak (black sigatoka; Mycosphaerella fijiensis), Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense), nematodes, and weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus); (v) barley (Hordeum vulgaris): net blotch (Pyrenophora teres) and powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis); and (vi) rice (Oryza sativa): rice blast (Pyricularia grisea) and rice plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens). …”
