Breeding in bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc): strategic considerations by Massawe, F., Nwale, S., Azam-Ali, S.N., Roberts, J.

“…This paper shows how different strategies have been combined to establish the basis of a strategic breeding programme in bambara groundnut. The paper also illustrates the use of landraces in the bambara groundnut breeding programme, as an example of the contribution that landraces can make to increasing productivity in marginal environments and the conservation of a crop’s genetic resources on-farm.…”

Not everything that glitters is gold by Etienne, Michelle

“…In this study strong indication is demonstrated that linear infrastructure creates an ecological trap for the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos). This is illustrated using integrated step selection function for habitat selection and movement behaviour with ten years of data from 74 GPS-tracked golden eagles in Sweden. …”

Farmers' willingness to adopt silvopasture practices : investigating compensation claims using a contingent valuation approach among Swedish cattle producers by Opdenbosch, Harold

“…Although the obtained results are only preliminary estimates, they can be used for discussing and illustrating scaling up possibilities of silvopasture practices in Sweden. …”

A study on the interactive relationship between the environmental NGOs and the media in Sweden by Zhang, Rui

“…After interview discussion and interpretation, this paper shows that the relationship between these environmental NGOs and the media is cooperative and strategic, therefore most of NGOs have their own communication strategies, whereas some of which being used are not acknowledged by the environmental communicators. The paper also illustrates that the goal for NGOs in their communication with the media is to get a large number of media coverage so as to gain social influence on policy making or to arouse public awareness, etc. …”

Developing land cover change methodology by combining remote sensing observations and pastoralist understandings : a case study in southern Tamil Nadu, India by Wennström, Patrick

“…The geographical locations where loss of pastures had occurred according to the pastoralists did not correspond with the RS analysis possibly since the respondents referred to small but significant areas of change which were not observable on satellite imagery. This result illustrates the partiality of both methodologies and of knowledge in general and also points to the value of mixing methods within land cover research, a field which usually has a strong preference for exclusively quantitative methods.…”

Frog somatic indices: Importance of considering allometric scaling, relation with body condition and seasonal variation in the frog Leptodactylus latrans by Brodeur, Celine Marie, Vera Candioti, Josefina, Damonte, María Jimena, Bahl, Maria Florencia, Poliserpi, Maria Belen, D´andrea, María Florencia

“…Nevertheless, carcass-related energy reserves were also of significant importance for frog metabolism as SCI varied very closely with body condition, explaining 75–80% of is variation. Results obtained illustrate the fact that no single somatic index can solely illustrate body condition because of the intricate relationship existing between SGI and SFI, and the importance of carcass-related energy reserves. …”

A model to examine farm household trade-offs and synergies with an application to smallholders in Vietnam by Ditzler, L., Komarek, Adam M., Chiang, T.W., Álvarez, S., Chatterjee, S.A., Timler, Carl J., Estrada-Carmona, Natalia, Kennedy, G., Groot, Jeroen C.J., Raneri, Jessica Evelyn

“…The expanded model positions the farming enterprise within the farm household. We illustrate the model's new capabilities for farm households in two villages in Northwest Vietnam, where we conducted multi-objective optimization to identify options for improving the farm households' current performance on key sustainability and livelihood indicators. …”

The value of manure - manure as co-product in life cycle assessment by Leip, A., Ledgard, Stewart, Uwizeye, Aimable, Palhares, J.C.P., Aller, M.F., Amon, Barbara, Binder, M., Cordovil, C.M., Camillis, C. de, Dong, H., Fusi, A., Helin, J., Hortenhuber, S., Hristov, Alexander N., Koelsch, R., Liu, C., Masso, C., Nkongolo, N.V., Patra, A.K., Redding, M.R., Rufino, Mariana C., Sakrabani, R., Thomas, G., Vertes, F., Wang, Y.

“…Allocation of environmental burden to manure and other livestock products is then based on the nutrient value from manure for crop production using the price of fertilizer nutrients. We illustrate and discuss the proposed method with two case studies.…”

A cattle graph genome incorporating global breed diversity by Talenti, A., Powell, J., Hemmink, Johanneke D., Cook, Elizabeth A.J., Wragg, D., Jayaraman, S., Paxton, E., Ezeasor, C.K., Obishakin, E.T., Agusi, E.R., Tijjani, A., Amanyire, W., Muhanguzi, D., Marshall, Karen, Fisch, A., Ferreira, B.R., Qasim, A., Chaudhry, U., Wiener, P., Toye, Philip G., Morrison, L.J., Connelley, T., Prendergast, J.G.D.

“…To mitigate this issue, we have generated assemblies of African breeds, which have been integrated with genomic data for 294 diverse cattle into a graph genome that incorporates global cattle diversity. We illustrate how this more representative reference assembly contains an extra 116.1 Mb (4.2%) of sequence absent from the current Hereford sequence and consequently inaccessible to current studies. …”

The political economy of bundling socio-technical innovations to transform agri-food systems by Barrett, Christopher B.

“…This chapter lays out conceptually why bundling is therefore important for the political economy of innovation to transform agri-food systems. It then illustrates the logic using three cases from Asian agricultural development: China’s Science and Technology Backyards program, a comparison of genetic advances in Green Revolution and golden rice, and the contrasting cases of Bt brinjal in India and Bangladesh.…”
