Food and Earth Systems: Priorities for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation for Agriculture and Food Systems
Publicado 2019“…This study highlights the importance of identifying and exploiting those synergies in the context of Nationally Determined Contributions. Finally, the paper points out that keeping global warming to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2100 requires going beyond the agriculture sector and exploring possibilities with respect to reduced emissions from deforestation, food loss, and waste, as well as from rethinking human diets.…”

Biological control as the primary option in sustainable pest management: the cassava pest project
Publicado 1990“…Exploration, ecological and biological studies of natural enemies, the development of appropriate mass-rearing and distribution technologies, and a major program of manpower training, were undertaken through the formation of an extensive network of scientific collaborators in Africa, Europe and the Americas. Finally, follow-up studies, underpinned by the development of a simulation model and a benefit/cost analysis, have demonstrated that classi¬ cal biological control, properly planned and implemented, can provide a timely, cost effective and ecologically safe solution to a major pest problem.…”

Climate-Smart Agriculture Investment Plan for Mali
Publicado 2019“…These provide a tangible set of project concepts for potential investors and donors to consider for funding. Finally, a general framing for developing a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for the CSA investment plan (CSAIP) is provided, showing how CSA outcomes relate to other M&E frameworks and other monitoring activities for national-level development priorities.The CSAIP provides the context and evidence for the importance of these projects, and details how they can be economically beneficial and provide food security to the people of Mali. …”

Use of Alternaria eichhorniae to control the invasive aquatic weed water hyacinth in Africa
Publicado 2003“…We report on studies to determine the influence of varied nutrient status on the growth of water hyacinth and how this influence of varied nutrient status on the growth of water hyacinth and how this influences the efficacy of control by A. eichhorniae.In addition, we report on formulations used in mycoherbicides to overcome environmental factors that limit infection. Finally, because this fungal pathogen is foliar, its mode of action can be crudely seen as causing plant defoliation. …”

Genetic structure of Arabian Peninsula dromedary camels revealed three geographic groups
Publicado 2022“…No significant deviation was observed in heterozygosity, allelic richness, Fis (inbreeding coefficient) among the studied populations had a mean value of 0.5849, 4.808 and 0.04, respectively. A mean Fst (fixation index) value of 0.0304 was calculated for the various populations with the highest value obtained between racing Omani and Awarik camel populations (0.079). …”

Optimizing self-pollinated crop breeding employing genomic selection: From schemes to updating training sets
Publicado 2022“…Also, we evaluated four strategies, using distinct methods and sizes, to update the training set. Finally, regarding breeding schemes, we proposed a new approach using GS to select the best individuals in each F2 progeny, based on genomic estimated breeding values and genetic divergence, to cross them and generate a new recombination event. …”

The effects of safety certification and nutrition messaging on the demand for nutritionally enhanced food in urban Ethiopia
Publicado 2023“…The nutrition message increased WTP for fortification, albeit only slightly. Finally, we found that the effect of safety certification on consumers’ WTP for fortified cooking oil was higher than its effect on WTP for non-fortified oil, indicating that urban consumers value certification even more when fortification is involved.…”

Drivers of antibiotic use in semi-intensive poultry farms: Evidence from a survey in Senegal
Publicado 2023“…Overall, there is evidence that awareness raising and biosecurity improvements could encourage prudent use of antibiotics, and that biosecurity and vaccination could to some extent replace antibiotic use as productivity-enhancing and disease management tools in broiler farms. Finally, issues of farm antimicrobial stewardship must be considered at the structural level, with farm behaviours contingent on interaction with state and private stakeholders.…”

The effects of policy discourse on the governance of deforestation and forest degradation reduction in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
Publicado 2024“…From an empirical standpoint, interviews with key actors involved in the DRC REDD+ processes and field observations show that four main types of discourse accompanied the adoption of REDD+ in the DRC: a discourse promoting REDD+ through its forest conservation component, as a policy instrument that would bring in significant financial resources to the DRC forest-related state bureaucracies, a discourse that considers REDD+ as an efficient mean of reducing poverty while promoting sustainability through “green development”, a discourse presenting REDD+ as a way of reducing marginalisation of local communities and indigenous peoples by recognising their customary rights, and finally, a discourse promoting REDD+ as a tool for territorial planning and governance. …”

Can urbanisation improve household welfare? Evidence From Ethiopia
Publicado 2022“…Urban expansion in rural areas and small towns appears more impactful than similar expansion in major cities. Finally, quantile regression results suggest that better-off households are likely to benefit more from urban expansion, which may translate into higher inequality across households or communities. …”

Analyzing trade integration in North African markets: A border effect approach
Publicado 2016“…For agricultural products in the same period, the highest border effect is in Algeria, with a factor of 5.9, and the lowest border effect is in Egypt, with a factor of 2.9. Finally, the equivalent tariffs implied by the estimated border effects are not implausible compared to the actual range of direct protection measures. …”
