Biophysical potential of crop residues for biochar carbon sequestration, and co-benefits, in Uganda by Roobroeck, D., Hood‐Nowotny, R., Nakubulwa, D., Tumuhairwe, J.B., Mwanjalolo, M.J.G., Ndawula, I., Vanlauwe, Bernard

“…This interdisciplinary approach showcases that there is significant biophysical potential for soil carbon sequestration in farming systems of Uganda through amendment of biochar derived from unused residues of cereals and legume crops. Furthermore, information about these biomass waste flows is used for estimating the rates of biochar input that could be made to farmlands, as well as the amounts of energy that could be produced with gasifier appliances.…”

Assessing market price dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic in Rwanda by Hirvonen, Kalle, Rosenbach, Gracie, Spielman, David J.

“…. • Prices of staple foods (cereals and other starches) declined following the pandemic’s onset in March 2020, while the prices of pulses (the second largest food consumption group in Rwanda after staple foods) experienced a seasonal spike at the end of 2021, but returned to below pre-pandemic levels throughout 2021. • For most food groups, price trends in each province generally followed the national price trends during the pandemic, with the exception of poultry and eggs. • Nationally, prices of poultry and eggs declined after the beginning of the pandemic, but these prices vary significantly by province, with prices in the Northern Province remaining above pre-pandemic levels and prices in all other provinces falling since the pandemic, with prices in Kigali City falling the most. …”

Farm households in Egypt: A typology for assessing vulnerability to climate change by Nin-Pratt, Alejandro, ElDidi, Hagar, Breisinger, Clemens

“…Our results suggest that to mitigate the risks and possible future impacts of climate change, the country will need to: Move away from policies supporting production of cereals and water-inefficient crops towards diversification of production into water-efficient high-value crops; facilitate the access of skilled resource-poor producers to capital and markets; and create opportunities for off-farm employment and income for smallholders that are using resources inefficiently.…”
