The Role of Agroforestry Systems for Enhancing Biodiversity and Provision of Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Landscapes in Southeast Asia por Rahman, S.A., Samsudin, Y.B., Bhatta, K.P., Aryal, A., Hayati, D., Cahya, M., Trihadmojo, B., Husain, I., Andini, S., Narulita, S., Rahman, M.A., Lu, X., Emang, D., Abimbola, A.I., Kustanti, A., Larjavaara, M.

“…Farmers’ cultivating diverse species in agroforestry is the key to enhance biodiversity on farmlands that can also lessen the pressure on local forest. Careful agroforestry plantation design will not only increase the multiple ecosystem functions but can also create corridors and buffer zones to support natural habitats, to reduce human and wildlife conflict. …”

Identification of the rice Rc gene as a main regulator of seed survival under dry storage conditions por Prasad C.T., Manjunath, Kodde, Jan, Angenent, Gerco C., Hay, Fiona R., McNally, Kenneth L., Groot, Steven P.C.

“…Genetic variation for tolerance to aging was studied in 300 Indica rice accessions by storing dry seeds under an elevated partial pressure of oxygen (EPPO) condition. A genome-wide association analysis identified 11 unique genomic regions for all measured germination parameters after aging, differing from those previously identified in rice under humid experimental aging conditions. …”

Assessing climate action interventions along the humanitarian-development-peace nexus: A methodology tailored for evaluating contributions to resilience in destination areas por Savelli, Adam, Khalid, Shahab, Vaselli, Alessandra, Sarzana, Carolina

“…As forced displacement increases and becomes more protracted in length, destination areas—where displaced and host communities often have low adaptive capacity and live side by side, sharing resources related to land, food, and water systems—are particularly exposed to human security risks. Here, demographic pressures can put pressure on public services and infrastructure, identity-based and political tensions can lead to violent conflict, and poor access to finance can lower the opportunity costs for individuals to engage in violence, or join non-state armed groups. …”

Understanding Changes in the Hydrometeorological Conditions towards Climate-Resilient Agricultural Interventions in Ethiopia por Satiprasad Sahoo, Ajit Govind

“…In the present research, a TerraClimate model was the basis for weather (precipitation and temperature) and hydrological data (runoff, actual evapotranspiration, potential evapotranspiration, vapor pressure deficit and climate water deficit); these data were used to determine the spatial distribution of the standardized anomaly index (SAI) and the slope of the linear regression for long-term (1958–2020) trend analysis. …”

Intensification of rice farming: The role of mechanization and irrigation por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Mano, Yukichi

“…In Asia, population pressure on land and high rice prices relative to input prices induced farming intensification, while mechanization and irrigation development boosted rice productivity. …”

Silvopastoral restoration to enhance ecosystem services and increase farmers' income por Louhaichi, Mounir, Gamoun, Mouldi, Hamdeni, Imtinene, Hassan, Sawsan, Slim, Slim, Jamel, Kailene, Ates, Serkan

“…Silvopastoral systems (SPS) are deemed as agroecological solutions that hold great potential to reduce pressure on already degraded forest and rangeland resources while synergistically enhancing livestock productivity and improve farmers’ livelihoods. …”

Drought Resistance of Maize in Gliricidia-Based Cropping Systems por World Agroforestry Centre, University of California, Davis

“…Crop grain yields were calculated from laboratory measurements and used to calculate nutritional yield, land equivalent ratio, and drought resistance, vapor pressure deficit was calculated from air temperature and relative humidity, and the fraction of transmitted photosynthetically active radiation was calculated from field-measured data.…”

Production shocks, exports and market prices: An analysis of the rice sector in Myanmar por Dorosh, Paul A., Win, Myat Thida, van Asselt, Joanna

“…In mid-2016, however, China stopped rice imports through the main land entry point, putting substantial downward pressure on prices. Analysis presented in this paper, based on econometric estimates of consumption parameters and a simple model of Myanmar’s rice supply and demand, suggests that market prices would fall by 26 to 43 percent or more (in real terms) in the absence of increased exports to the world market and/or government domestic procurement. …”

Welfare and poverty impacts of aquaculture growth por Rashid, Shahidur, Minot, Nicholas, Lemma, Solomon

“…The consequences of such a scenario are easy to imagine: higher prices, lower consumption, and far greater pressure on marine and inland capture fisheries. The adverse consequences would have been particularly severe for the developing countries of Asia, where fish is an important part of the diet and where fish production and marketing provide the livelihoods for millions of poor households.…”

Agricultural transformation and market integration in the ASEAN region: Responding to food security and inclusiveness concerns summary report on the national inception workshop in... por Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture

“…The integration of agricultural markets within ASEAN is also high in its policy agenda given the current pressure of the ASEAN Economic Community. Although some developmental steps have been made, such as the emergency rice reserve, and establishment of APTERR, the overall progress in the implementation of the ASEAN food security framework has remained limited. …”

Opportunities for increasing livestock water productivity in the Nile River Basin por Peden, Donald G., Faki, H., Alemayehu, M., Mpairwe, D.R., Herrero, Mario, Breugel, P. van, Haileslassie, Amare, Taddesse, G., Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele

“…Four strategies to increase LWP are selection of animal feeds derived from plant materials with high crop water productivity, improved water conservation through better management of watering sites, vegetation and soil on grazing, crop and riparian lands, adoption of technologies to improve animal health, genetics, nutrition and husbandry, and strategic allocation of watering sites to adjust grazing pressure to sustainably match the spatial distributions of pasture and drinking water availability. …”

Linking research and policy: The case of Ghana's rice trade policy por deGrassi, Aaron

“…In order to discover the underlying factors in linking research and policy requires examining particular conceptual lenses (“discourses”) in Ghana, as well the intricate politics of elections, nationalism, external pressure, and rifts with civic campaigners. To see whether or not the nature of linkages is unique to the rice sector, the report also contrasts the case of rice with on the case of agricultural mechanization.…”
