Multiple cropping systems of the world and the potential for increasing cropping intensity by Waha, Katharina, Dietrich, Jan Philipp, Portmann, Felix T, Siebert, Stefan, Thornton, Philip K., Bondeau, Alberte, Herrero, Mario

“…We find multiple cropping systems on 135 million hectares (12% of global cropland) with 85 million hectares in irrigated agriculture. 34%, 13% and 10% of the rice, wheat and maize area, respectively are under multiple cropping, demonstrating the importance of such cropping systems for cereal production. Harvesting currently single cropped areas a second time could increase global harvested areas by 87–395 million hectares, which is about 45% lower than previous estimates. …”

Which food outlets are important for nutrient-dense-porridge-flour access by the base-of-the-pyramid consumers? Evidence from the Informal Kenyan settlements by Koech, Kevin K., Chege, Christine Gacheri Kiria, Bett, Hillary Kiplangat

“…The study results show that the most common outlets used to access this flour were supermarkets (51.08%), followed by cereal stores (25.54%). According to previous studies, using appropriate marketing strategies leads to increases in the uptake and consumption of nutritious products in informal urban settlements among developing countries. …”
