Open property and complex mosaics: Variants in tenure regimes across pastoralist social-ecological systems por Robinson, Lance W.

Development and Impact Monitoring of a Communication Strategy for the CGIAR Climate Security Program por McLaughlin, Isabel, McKeown, Peter, Spillane, Charles, Läderach, Peter R.D.

“…When events such as the Climate Security webinars were scheduled and promoted through social media a pattern of high engagement was observed compared to times of low activity and promotion. It can be argued that the communications strategy was a success with the Climate Security website generating 62,894 visits from 2,294 different users over the two-month period. …”

Multi-stakeholder perception analysis of the status, characteristics, and factors affecting small-scale carp aquaculture systems in Bangladesh por Rossignoli, Cristiano, Lozano, Denise, Barman, Benoy, Brako Dompreh, Eric, Manyise, Timothy, Wang, Quanli, Dam Lam, Rodolfo, Moruzzo, Roberta, Paz Mendez, Alvaro, Gasparatos, Alexandros

“…As aquaculture, and particularly carp aquaculture, is important for rural development in Bangladesh by sustaining households’ income and livelihoods in different ways, we argue for the need to undertake more detailed studies to understand the characteristics and performance of these types of small-scale aquaculture systems. …”

Uneven ground? Intersectional gender inequalities in the commercialized cassava seed system in Tanzania por Liani, M.L., Cole, Steven M., Mwakanyamale, Devis F., Baumung, L., Saleh, N., Webber, A., Tufan, Hale Ann, Kapinga, R.

“…For the commercialized cassava seed system to be more socially inclusive and sustainable, we argue that there is need to adopt gender-aware approaches to address the underlying barriers and biases that exclude women and other social groups. …”

Beyond the digital divide: a multi-dimensional approach to enabling digital inclusivity in food, land, and water systems por Opola, Felix Ouko, Langan, Simon J., Arulingam, Indika, Schumann, C., Singaraju, N., Joshi, Deepa

“…This is achieved through increasing awareness of the characteristics of digital exclusion, recognising the needs of the actors that they target with digital interventions which are more inclusive, making interventions more participatory and mitigating any potential harm that can be caused by digital innovation. We also argue that the approach to digital innovation needs to be set within the context of a wide ranging ‘digital ecosystem’ where different actors contribute knowledge and resources, and digital innovation goes beyond the adoption and use of technologies to include changes in preexisting social arrangement and institutions.…”

2021 Annual trends and outlook report: Building resilient African food systems after COVID-19 por Ulimwengu, John M., Constas, Mark A., Ubalijoro, Éliane

“…The pandemic, a uniquely wide-ranging challenge that combined features of previous health, economic and food price shocks, reminds us of the breadth of risks and challenges that food systems must continue to withstand into the future. The report argues for a broader conceptualization of resilience that encompasses climate risks as well as the wider range of shocks that threaten progress toward transformed food systems and economies. …”

Covid-19 and lockdown policies: A structural simulation model of a bottom-up recession in four countries por Robinson, Sherman, Levy, Stephanie, Hernández, Victor, Davies, Rob, Gabriel, Sherwin, Arndt, Channing, van Seventer, Dirk Ernst, Pleitez, Marcelo

“…We review different modelling strategies and argue that, given the nature of the bottom-up recession caused by the pandemic/lockdowns, simulation models of the shocks should be based on a social accounting matrix (SAM) that includes both disaggregated sectoral data and the national accounts in a unified framework. …”

The political economy of food self sufficiency policies and food security in African countries por Bouët, Antoine, Traoré, Fousseini, Mamboundou, Pierre, Diop, Insa, Sy, Abdourahmane

“…The proponents of food self-sufficiency argue that trade liberalization increases food dependency (and import bills) and makes consumers vulnerable to external shocks in food availability, as well as exposing them to unhealthy foods. …”

Beyond climate-smart agriculture: toward safe operating spaces for global food systems por Neufeldt, Henry, Jahn, Molly M., Campbell, Bruce M., Beddington, J.R., DeClerck, Fabrice A.J., Pinto, Alex de, Gulledge, J, Hellin, Jonathan, Herrero, Mario, Jarvis, Andy, LeZaks, D, Meinke, Holger, Rosenstock, Todd S., Scholes, M, Scholes, Robert J., Vermeulen, Sonja J., Wollenberg, Eva Karoline, Zougmoré, Robert B.

“…In this opinion piece authored by scientists from a variety of international agricultural and climate research communities, we argue that the concept needs to be evaluated critically because the relationship between the three dimensions is poorly understood, such that practically any improved agricultural practice can be considered climate-smart. …”

Forest transitions and rural livelihoods: multiple pathways of smallholder teak expansion in Northern Laos por Newby, Jonathan Craig, Cramb, Rob, Sakanphet, Somphanh

“…Thus, even when it is smallholders driving the process of forest transition via piecemeal land-use changes, there is potential for resource-poor households to be excluded from the potential livelihood benefits or to be further impoverished by the transition. We argue that interventions to increase smallholder involvement in the forestry sector need to take explicit account of the initial variation in livelihood platforms and in alternative transition pathways at the household scale in order to pursue more inclusive “forest-and-livelihood” transitions in rural areas.…”

Moving Ethiopian smallholder dairy along a sustainable commercialization path: missing links in the innovation systems por Lemma, T., Tegegne, Azage, Puskur, Ranjitha, Hoekstra, Dirk

“…The current paper looks into this paradox of Ethiopian smallholder dairy development; identifies and discusses the implications of emerging opportunities and challenges for the sub-sector development; and explores strategic options for the sub-sector take-off. This paper argues that the impact of the decades of efforts for the sub-sector developments have been hampered, among others, by disconnects in the dairy innovation systems. …”

Farmers’ knowledge, use and preferences of parasitic weed management strategies in rain-fed rice production systems por Tippe, D.E., Rodenburg, J., Schut, Marc, Ast, A. van, Kayeke, J., Bastiaans, L.

“…Farmer participation in technology testing showed to be crucial in defining locally adapted and acceptable parasitic weed control strategies. Yet, it is argued that without lifting important constraints related to credit and input supply, it will be impossible to sustainably solve the parasitic weed problem in rain-fed rice.…”

Leveraging agrobiodiversity to create sustainable food systems for healthier diets por Kennedy, G., Hunter, D., Garrett, J., Padulosi, S.

“…At the same time, many of the ways in which food systems operate, from production to sales and consumption, are causing significant environmental damage, including loss of biodiversity and of the beneficial services that biodiversity in ecosystems provides to humanity. This paper argues that focusing on increasing agricultural biodiversity in landscapes, food systems and diets is an important part of the solution to creating healthier diets from sustainable food systems. …”
