Mechanistic understanding of iron toxicity tolerance in contrasting rice varieties from Africa: 2. Root oxidation ability and oxidative stress control by Onyango, Dorothy A., Entila, Fredrickson, Egdane, James, Pacleb, Myrish, Katimbang, Meggy Lou, Dida, Mathew M., Ismail, Abdelbagi M., Drame, Khady N.

“…To enhance breeding efficiency for iron (Fe) toxicity tolerance and boost lowland rice production in sub-Saharan Africa, we have characterised the morphological, physiological and biochemical responses of contrasting rice varieties to excess iron. Here, we report the capacity of four varieties (CK801 and Suakoko8 (tolerant), Supa and IR64 (sensitive)) to oxidise iron in the rhizosphere and control iron-induced oxidative stress. …”

Exploring environmental and distributional impacts of different transition pathways for healthier and sustainable diets: An economic modelling study by Kuiper, Marijke, de Lange, Thijs, van Zeist, Willem-Jan, van Meijl, Hans

“…We defined a policy bundle of three types of context-specific interventions: (1) nudging and information to shift consumer decisions, (2) adjusting fiscal policies by removing taxes on encouraged foods and subsidies on discouraged ones, and (3) introducing new price signals, such as taxes on high-emission foods and subsidies for encouraged foods. …”

Climate Smart Village Project: The benefits of conservation agriculture by CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

“…The idea is to raise awareness among farming communities in South Asia about various technological, institutional and policy-oriented options that have the potential to increase their climatic resilience, adapt to climate change, increase agricultural productivity and income, while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. In this video, you will learn more about the benefits from conservation agriculture being promoted within the project. …”

Oil Palm Agroforestry Can Achieve Economic and Environmental Gains as Indicated by Multifunctional Land Equivalent Ratios by Khasanah, N., Noordwijk, M. van, Slingerland, Maja, Sofiyudin, M., Stomph, D., Migeon, A.F., Hairiah, K.

“…Interest in diversified, mixed oil palm systems is increasing as these might increase efficiency of the use of land and other resources, reduce farmer risk, and decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per unit product. Land Equivalent Ratio for provisioning services (LERP) values above 1.0 show that at least some diversified systems use land more efficiently than monocultures and are thus “land sparing,” where monoculture LERP cannot exceed 1.0. …”

Characterizing soil hydrology in the Indo-Gangetic plain of Bihar, India: Methods and preliminary results by Rossiter, D.G., Arenas-Calle, Laura, Urfels, Anton, Nayak, Harishankar, Sherpa, Sonam, McDonald, Andrew

“…In the Eastern Gangetic Plain (EGP) soil hydrology is a major determinant of land use and also governs the ecosystem services derived from cropping systems, particularly greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from rice fields. To characterize patterns of soil hydrology in these, daily field monitoring of water levels was conducted during the monsoon (kharif) season in a comparatively wet (2021) and dry (2022) year with flooding depth and drainage tracked with field water tubes across 47 (2021) and 183 (2022) locations. …”
