Nitrogen in cereal systems: Opportunities for sustainable agricultural growth por Anupam Das, Chakraborty, Debashis

“…There are many technologies that farmers can use, such as sowing at higher plant densities, soil test-based fertilizer N application, split N fertilizer applications, fertigation, site-specific N management, new fertilizer formulations such as controlled release nitrification inhibitors and nano-fertilizer formulations in order to encourage the adoption by farmers. Finally, for sustainable agricultural growth, campaign against the misuse of nitrogen fertilizer and policies to improve soil quality need to be promoted.…”

Agricultural water management and poverty in Ethiopia por Hagos, Fitsum, Jayasinghe, Gayathri, Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele, Loulseged, Makonnen, Yilma, Aster Denekew

“…All technologies were found to have significant poverty reducing impacts with micro dams, deep wells, river diversions, and ponds leading to 37%, 26%, 11%, and 9% reduction in poverty incidence compared to rainfed system. Finally, our study identified the most important correlates of poverty on the basis this we made the policy recommendations to build assets (AWM technologies, livestock, etc); to enhance human resource development and improve the functioning of labor markets for enhanced impact of AWM technologies on poverty.…”

Conservation and use of genetic resources of underutilized crops in the Americas - A continental analysis por Galluzzi, Gea, López Noriega, Isabel

“…We also show that current international policy and legal instruments have so far provided limited stimulus and funding for the conservation and sustainable use of the genetic resources of these crops. Finally, the paper proposes an analytical framework for identifying and evaluating a crop’s underutilization, in order to define the most appropriate type and levels of intervention (international, national, local) for improving its status.…”
