“…Potential answers to the question of why REDD+ has not delivered more tangible results fall into 4 categories: REDD+ has not yet been implemented at the scale needed to make a difference, REDD+ has evolved from the initial PES vision to a modified version of previous and largely ineffective conservation efforts, REDD+ has been blocked by powerful actors interested in maintaining the status quo, and REDD+ is conceptually flawed in its design as a PES and MBI scheme. …”

Food system actors engaged in the cocreation of agroecological innovations - results of year 2 engagement in eight countries por Staiger-Rivas, S., Orjuela-Ramirez, G.

“…At the core is the necessity to generate scientific evidence that shows how agroecological principles applied in different socio-ecological systems are better able to provide equity, productivity, economic and environmental benefits than alternatives, including the status quo. The engagement takes place in Agroecological Living Landscapes (ALLs) that are formed in selected territories of each country with diverse stakeholders, including farmer associations or communities, researchers from multiple disciplines, extensionists, private companies, international and national non-governmental organizations as well as local, regional, and national policymakers. …”

Quantifying cost of disease in livestock: a new metric for the Global Burden of Animal Diseases por Gilbert, W., Marsh, T.L., Chaters, G., Jemberu, Wudu T., Bruce, M., Steeneveld, W., Afonso, J.S., Huntington, B., Rushton, J.

“…Methods: In this study, we present a metric that begins the process of disease burden estimation by converting the physical consequences of disease on animal performance to farm-level costs of disease, and calculates a metric termed the Animal Health Loss Envelope (AHLE) via comparison between the status quo and a disease-free ideal. An example calculation of the AHLE metric for meat production from broiler chickens is provided. …”

Evaluating consumer preferences for reduced cooking time, taste and colour of beans in rural and urban communities in Uganda por Asiimwe, Robert, Katungi, Enid Mbabazi, Marimo, Pricilla, Mukankusi, Clare, Rubyogo, Jean Claude, Anthony, Vivienne

“…About 72% of the urban consumers were willing to pay 41 shillings, 53 shillings and 42 shillings above prices for reduction in cooking time from 120 (status quo) to 90, 75, and 60 min, respectively. For consumers who also grow their beans for food and surplus for sale, reduced cooking time is important but not as much as yield and climate resilience. …”

(2) Irrigation subsystems 41, 42, and 44 suffer severe salt accumulation, where salt-tolerant sunflowers should be prioritized for planting. (3) Crop root growth processes, sowing time, and growing periods have a strong influence on the salt concentration of actual root zone. …”
