“…This paper reports on a study on the interaction between land-use changes and forest management strategies at the household level, and how this interaction is shaped by ecological, physical, socio-economic and other exogenous factors (e.g., policies). Field sites in Indonesia are in Pasir and Mahakam in East Kalimantan, and the West of Lake Toba in North Sumatra. …”

Crop productivity and the global livestock sector: Implications for land use change and greenhouse gas emissions by Havlík, Petr, Valin, Hugo, Mosnier, Aline, Obersteiner, Michael, Baker, J.S., Herrero, Mario, Rufino, Mariana C., Schmid, Erwin

“…In this study we implement the global partial equilibrium model GLOBIOM, which has been used extensively in the past: 1) to analyze the effects of biofuel policies on total GHG emissions balance (Havlik et al. 2011; Frank eta l. forthcoming; and Mosnier et al. 2012); 2) to assess the mitigation potential of reduced emissions from deforestation (Bottcher et al 2012); and 3) to investigate future global challenges in the sector in general.…”

State of the Knowledge for Gender in Breeding: Case Studies for Practitioners by Tufan, Hale Ann, Grando, Stefania, Meola, Catherine

“…This chapter illustrates how the use of a conceptual framework for gender analysis can help breeding programs make sense of gender-differentiated traits and tease out the likely impact of taking gender into account in program-level policies and strategies. The following case studies are structured around steps of a plant breeding cycle (see Figure 1.1), examining cases that consider gender in setting breeding priorities, selection, testing experimental varieties, and seed production and distribution. …”
