Gender bias in customer perceptions: The case of agro-input dealers in Uganda por De, Anusha, Miehe, Caroline, Van Campenhout, Bjorn

“…The gender bias may also affect social outcomes like women's capabilities, aspirations, and empowerment in seed systems but also impairs development at more aggregate levels: as a considerable share of agro-input shops is managed by women, this finding may impose challenges for varietal turnover, hindering agricultural productivity, food security, and rural transformation. Policies and interventions designed to challenge gender norms and customs are needed to correct this bias.…”

Climate change impacts on agriculture in 2050 under a range of plausible socioeconomic and emissions scenarios por Wiebe, Keith D., Lotze-Campen, Herman, Sands, Ronald D., Tabeau, Andrzej, van der Mensbrugghe, Dominique, Biewald, Anne, Bodirsky, Benjamin, Islam, Shahnila, Kavallari, Aikaterini, Mason-D’Croz, Daniel, Müller, Christoph, Popp, Alexander, Robertson, Richard D., Robinson, Sherman, van Meijl, Hans, Willenbockel, Dirk

“…We find that climate impacts on global average yields, area, production and consumption are similar across shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP 1, 2 and 3, as we implement them based on population, income and productivity drivers), except when changes in trade policies are included. Impacts on trade and prices are higher for SSP 3 than SSP 2, and higher for SSP 2 than for SSP 1. …”

South African food security and climate change: Agriculture futures por Dube, Sikhalazo, Scholes, Robert J., Nelson, Gerald C., Mason-D’Croz, Daniel, Palazzo, Amanda

“…Thus the vulnerability to food insecurity at family and national level increases in the future under all but the most optimistic development scenarios, and is exacerbated by climate change, especially through global-scale, market-related mechanisms. Policies to increase local agricultural production, decrease its climate sensitivity and facilitate access to international markets are indicated, along with efforts to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. …”

Gains from coordination in milkfed dairy in Punjab por Gupta, Kanupriya, Roy, Devesh

“…It is possible that this could be integration with private sector, a case that the study does not cover.Benefits from coordination should motivate policies for promoting it. The finding that increased competition has fostered dynamism in the public sector has implications far beyond the case studied here.Despite the extensive system of cooperatives, there do not exist rigorous studies that assess the gains to farmers from this type of horizontal and vertical coordination. …”

Integrated pest management: good intentions, hard realities. A review por Deguine, Jean-Philippe, Aubertot, Jean-Noël, Flor, Rica Joy, Lescourret, Françoise, Wyckhuys, Kris A.G., Ratnadass, Alain

“…We believe that despite many good intentions, hard realities need to be faced. 1) We identify the following major weaknesses: i) a multitude of IPM definitions that generate unnecessary confusion; ii) inconsistencies between IPM concepts, practice, and policies; iii) insufficient engagement of farmers in IPM technology development and frequent lack of basic understanding of its underlying ecological concepts. 2) By diverting from the fundamental IPM principles, integration of practices has proceeded along serendipitous routes, proven ineffective, and yielded unacceptable outcomes. 3) We show that in the majority of cases, chemical control still remains the basis of plant health programs. 4) Furthermore, IPM research is often lagging, tends to be misguided, and pays insufficient attention to ecology and to the ecological functioning of agroecosystems. 5) Since the 1960s, IPM rules have been twisted, its foundational concepts have degraded and its serious (farm-level) implementation has not advanced. …”

Climate-smart practice: level of effectiveness and determinants of Sorjan farming adoption in coastal Bangladesh por Kundu, Nanda Dulal, Sujan, Md. Hayder Khan, Sarker, Mou Rani, Sultana, Monira, Uddin, Md. Taj, Bhandari, Humnath, Sarkar, Md Abdur Rouf

“…Further analysis of challenges in both types of farming revealed the advantages of sorjan over plain land cultivation, categorizing them into four distinct areas: environmental, management, input-related, and market issues. Government policies should prioritize holistic support systems and foster collaborative knowledge-sharing among stakeholders to enhance the adoption and diffusion of sorjan farming in coastal communities.…”
