Legal vs. certified timber: preliminary impacts of forest certification in Cameroon by Cerutti, P.O., Tacconi, L., Nasi, Robert, Lescuyer, G.

“…Results show that the average reduction in the annual allowable cut (AAC) of concerned FMUs is about 11% when legal harvesting rules are adopted, about 18% when the FSC rules as requested by the certifying bodies (CBs) are applied, and about 34% when the ‘FSC logic of sustainable harvesting’, as agreed upon on paper by logging companies and CBs, is used. …”

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

“…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.…”

[Comment on] Fitzgerald, E.V.K. Private sector investment and savings behavior: the policy implications of capital account disaggregation by Malik, Sohail

“…To a considerable extent, moreover, there has been success in closing current account deficits, reducing government expenditure and moderating rates of inflation. Much of this logic is reflected in the standard policy models employed by the Bank and the Fund which I shall discuss today. …”

Breeding 5.0: Artificial intelligence (AI)-decoded germplasm for accelerated crop innovation by Fu, Jiayi, Zheng, Shouzhi, Fan, Longjiang, Zheng, Xiaoming, Qian, Qian

“…Central to this transformation is AI's emerging ability to deeply “understand germplasm,” not merely by identifying genetic markers but also by decoding its architecture, plasticity, regulatory logic, and environmental interactions. This germplasm intelligence enables predictive trait modeling, optimized parental design, and targeted selection. …”

Mapping nutrient adequacy for targeted policy interventions, with application to Uganda (2013/14) by Marivoet, Wim, Ulimwengu, John M.

“…Conform to the system approach currently advocated by researchers and development partners, these maps display the combined nutritional contribution of various food items while following a sequential logic from production to consumption. Using the latest round of Uganda’s National Panel Survey (2013/14), after reconversion from nutrients to food items, a spatially diverse set of policy responses are formulated. …”

HIV and mobility in the Lake Victoria Basin agricultural sector: A literature review by Drimie, Scott, Weinand, Julia, Gillespie, Stuart, Wagah, Margaret

“…A comprehensive response to HIV would require that the plantation companies engage in efforts against HIV/AIDS across its entire time line (that is, ranging from efforts to prevent infection to attempts to mitigate its full impact on both agricultural workers and the business as a whole). Despite the logic of this argument, we do not yet have strong financial evidence proving that companies should invest in a comprehensive strategy. …”

Contextualizing private sector-based seed system development: The case of sorghum in Eastern Africa by Hambloch, Caroline, Kahwai, Jane, Mugonya, John

“…Seed system interventions promoting the adoption of improved varieties through the private sector generally follow a linear, market-oriented technological adoption logic. A qualitative case study of the sorghum seed system in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania demonstrates that this model may not be able to drive the broad-scale adoption of improved sorghum varieties and to generate significant benefits for small sorghum-farming households. …”

Conservation because it pays: shaded Cocoa agroforests in West Africa by Gockowski, J., Weise, Stephan F., Sonwa, D., Tchatat, M., Ngobo, M.

“…The paper describes and quantifies some of its non-cocoa economic and environmental values and examines the economic logic underlying smallholder management. Estimates of these values are developed from field surveys and on-farm research conducted with cocoa producers in West Africa over the last four years. …”

How will training traders contribute to improved food safety in informal markets for meat and milk? A theory of change analysis by Johnson, Nancy L., Mayne, John, Grace, Delia, Wyatt, Amanda

“…The results show that for some parts of the impact pathway, outcomes and causal links are well defined and supported by evidence, while for others, the program logic needs to be refined and more evidence gathered to validate hypothesized causal relationships in specific contexts. …”

How rigid business approaches paved the way for inclusive business practices: A case study of innovative milk trading practices aligned with pastoralists by Kihoro, Esther, Crane, Todd A., Lupatu, Habib, Vellema, Sietze

“…Our analysis shows how the skillful performance of traders and motorbike milk aggregators has aligned with the logic and interests of pastoralists. However, this alignment capacity can only be realised under specific conditions, which involve aligning with local production systems, coordinating with intermediaries, and having a flexible approach to marketing prices and buyers across seasons. …”

Local knowledge and scientific perceptions: questions of validity in environmental knowledge by German, L.

“…Early strands of this literature could be easily classified into two camps – one which purports the adaptive logic and scientific validity of local knowledge, and the other which seeks to expose its flaws by illustrating its divergence from scientific understandings. …”
