Asia-Pacific roadmap for primary forest conservation por Laumonier, Y., Azzu, N., Adzan, G., Narulita, S., Khikmah, F., Meybeck, A., Pingault, N., Gitz, V.

“…This publication uses a remote-sensing methodology to accurately and consistently identify and delineate the remaining ‘intact forests’ and ‘contiguous intact forests’ in the Asia-Pacific region over large areas, over long periods of time, and at reasonable costs. It illustrates the huge diversity of forest formations in Asia and the Pacific and calls for a better understanding of the dynamic at stake in forest ecosystems and surrounding landscapes at finer scale. …”

Evaluation of multiple satellite precipitation products for rainfed maize production systems over Vietnam por Gummadi, Sridhar, Dinku, Tufa, Shirsath, Paresh B., Kadiyala, M.D.M.

“…The performance of the different rainfall datasets in simulating maize yields across Vietnam shows that VnGP and CHIRP/S were capable of producing good estimates of average maize yields with RMSE ranging from 536 kg/ha (VnGP), 715 kg/ha (CHIRPS), 737 kg/ha (CHIRP), 759 kg/ha (GsMAP), 878 kg/ha (CMORPH) to 949 kg/ha (CPC). We illustrated that there is a potential for use of satellite rainfall estimates to overcome the issues of data scarcity in regions with sparse rain gauges.…”

Maize variety preferences among smallholder farmers in Ethiopia: Implications for demand-led breeding and seed sector development por Marenya, Paswel Phiri, Wanyama, Rosina, Alemu, Solomon, Westengen, Ola T., Debello, Moti Jaleta

“…While high yields remain a major objective, breeding and seed system development programs are increasingly based on the recognition that farmers also have an interest in other agronomic and consumption traits. In this paper we illustrate these issues by measuring the trade-offs farmers may be willing to make for specific traits in the mid-altitude maize markets in Ethiopia. …”

Livestock solutions to regenerate soils and landscapes for sustainable agri-food systems transformation in Africa por Paul, Birthe K., Mutegi, James, Wironen, Michael, Wood, Stephen, Peters, Michael, Nyawira, Sylvia, Misiko, Michael, Dutta, Sudarshan, Zingore, Shamie, Oberthür, Thomas, Notenbaert, An Maria Omer, Cook, Simon E.

“…In this review paper we present new analyses of original data from an international livestock expert survey, a quantitative search in Web of Science, and a literature review to unravel the potential for livestock systems to sustainably transform agri-food systems through regenerating soils and restoring degraded landscapes. We (i) illustrate how livestock is important for people and planet alike; (ii) review how to harness livestock's potential for rehabilitation of soils and landscapes; (iii) demonstrate successful case studies of livestock solutions such as improved forages for cut-and-carry systems and grazing management; and (iv) identify four critical steps required for lasting change at continental scale. …”

Integrating gender and social inclusion into behavior change frameworks in agri-food systems: The case of agroecological transformation por Voss, Rachel C., Freed, Sarah, Rietveld, Anne M., Falk, Thomas, Adam, Rahma

“…Drawing from experiences in countries engaged in the CGIAR Initiative on Agroecology, we present a case study to illustrate how the framework can be used to more systematically integrate gender relations and equity concerns into behavioral analysis in the context of agri-food systems transformation.…”

Exploring small scale irrigation-nutrition linkages por Choufani, Jowel, Bryan, Elizabeth, Mekonnen, Dawit Kelemework, Ringler, Claudia

“…Domènech (2015) describes several potential pathways through which irrigation can influence food security, nutrition, and health outcomes, including 1) a production pathway, 2) an income pathway, 3) a water supply pathway, and 4) a women’s empowerment pathway. To illustrate these pathways, we adapted the agriculturenutrition framework of Herforth and Harris (2014) to include irrigation (Figure 1), while also noting a fifth, negative pathway that links irrigation to water pollution and disease via the application of fertilizers and pesticides and via supporting vector-borne diseases, such as malaria or schistosomiasis, respectively (Passarelli et al., 2018).…”

A chicken and maize situation: The poultry feed sector in Ghana por Andam, Kwaw S., Johnson, Michael E., Ragasa, Catherine, Kufoalor, Doreen S., Gupta, Sunipa Das

“…Because maize accounts for 60 percent of poultry feed, its availability and price have important implications for the profitability and growth potential of feed and, therefore, for poultry production as well. We illustrate these linkages by means of a simple spatial market equilibrium model that ties together the three sectors of the poultry value chain: the primary inputs (maize and soybeans), intermediate inputs (feed), and final products (meat and eggs). …”
