Fusarium wilt of banana: Current knowledge on epidemiology and research needs toward sustainable disease management by Dita, M., Barquero, M., Heck, D., Mizubuti, E., Staver, Charles

“…Our current understanding of the role of main biotic and abiotic factors on disease intensity is reviewed, highlighting research needs and futures directions. Finally, a set of practices and their impact on disease intensity are discussed and proposed as an integrative management approach that could eventually be used by a range of users, including plant protection organizations, researchers, extension workers and growers.…”

Nutrition transition in Zambia: Changing food supply, food prices, household consumption, diet and nutrition outcomes by Harris, J., Chisanga, B., Drimie, S., Kennedy, G.

“…Expenditure on staple foods has reduced in the past two decades while spending on fruits and vegetables, animal source foods, fats and sugars, and processed foods has increased, with these change greater in rural areas in recent years, but already more advanced in urban areas. Finally, while undernutrition is reducing slowly from very high levels and hunger persists, overweight and obesity and non-communicable chronic diseases are increasing; and data are strikingly lacking on modern Zambian diets. …”

Stakeholders prioritization of climate-smart agriculture interventions: Evaluation of a framework by Khatri-Chhetri, Arun, Pant, Anjali, Aggarwal, Pramod K., Vasireddy, Vijya Vardhan, Yadav, Akhilesh

“…In the fourth step, incentive mechanisms to promote CSA interventions such as government subsidy, market linkage, provision of loan and capacity building were evaluated with farmers and key stakeholders. Finally, this prioritization framework assessed the role of different organizations such as the government, private sector, non-government organizations, custom hiring centers and community based organizations in promoting CSA interventions at the local level. …”

Exploring the potential of using nudges to promote food hygiene in the pork value chain in Vietnam by Hennessey, M., Kim, S., Unger, Fred, Hung Nguyen-Viet, Sinh Dang-Xuan, Thinh Nguyen-Thi, Häsler, Barbara

“…Key informant interviews (n = 12) were initially utilised to document the type of nudges being used within existing food safety interventions, followed by a questionnaire-based survey (n = 132) to describe the behavioural elements of pork value chain actors which could be amenable to nudging. Finally, a workshop was conducted to measure the response of stakeholders (n = 30) to various nudge elements which could be used to support future food safety interventions. …”

Who bears the burden of climate variability? A comparative analysis of the impact of weather conditions on inequality in Vietnam and Indonesia by Pacillo, Grazia, Cuong Nguyen Viet, Hafianti, Silvi, Abanokova, Kseniya, Hai-Anh Dang, Achicanoy Estrella, Harold Armando, Läderach, Peter R.D.

“…Despite the remarkable efforts of the national governments in supporting most vulnerable and marginalised groups in the Vietnamese and Indonesian societies in the past decades, specific interventions are needed to address the needs of those who are still bearing the biggest burden of climate impacts to finally allow even the “last mile” groups to escape poverty and exclusion.…”

Comparative population genomic analysis uncovers novel genomic footprints and genes associated with small body size in Chinese pony by Nanaei, H.A., Esmailizadeh, A., Mehrgardi, A.A., Han Jianlin, Wu, Dong-Dong, Li, Yan, Zhang, Ya-Ping

“…To detect genomic signatures of positive selection, we applied three methods based on population comparison, fixation index (FST), cross population composite likelihood ratio (XP-CLR) and nucleotide diversity (θπ), and further analyzed the results to find genomic regions under selection for body size-related traits.A number of protein-coding genes in windows with the top 1% values of FST (367 genes), XP-CLR (681 genes), and log2 (θπ ratio) (332 genes) were identified. …”

Youth in livestock and the power of education, the case of “Heirs of Tradition” by Triana Ángel, Natalia, Ariza, Mauricio, Arango, Jacobo, Burkart, Stefan

“…Third, alliances, such as the one between Alquería-CIAT-CCAFS/Livestock CRP, are critical for enriching and bolstering existing programmes by introducing new, urgent areas of expertise. Finally, we seek to shed light on the achievements and the lessons learned from “Heirs of Tradition”, highlighting the subjects and issues that could be better addressed, and overall emphasising how the continuity of these ventures favours knowledge transfer, empowers communities and benefits livestock producers across the country.…”

A stochastic network-based model to simulate farm-level transmission of African swine fever virus in Vietnam by Hu Suk Lee, Thakur, K.K., Long Pham-Thanh, Tung Duy Dao, Anh Ngoc Bui, Vuong Nghia Bui, Huy Nguyen Quang

“…We found that the timing of culling at 16, 12, 8, and 6 weeks had resulted in a reduction of the number of median infected farms by 81.92%, 91.63%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Finally, our evaluation of the implication of stability of ties between farms indicated that if the farms were to have the same trading partners for at least six months could significantly reduce the median number of infected farms to two (95th percentile: 413) than in the basic model. …”

Foliar and Wood Traits Covary along a Vertical Gradient within the Crown of Long-Lived Light-Demanding Species of the Congo Basin Semi-Deciduous Forest by Kafuti, C., Bourland, N., Mil, T. de, Meeus, S., Rousseau, M., Toirambe, B., Bolaluembe, P-C., Ndjele, L., Beeckman, H.

“…Also, the negative relationship between stomatal density and stomatal size became stronger with increasing height within the crown. Finally, the positive relationship between specific leaf area and theoretical specific hydraulic conductivity became stronger in higher parts of the crown, suggesting that P. elata constantly adapts its water use with respect to its water supply, more strongly at the top of the crown where the environment is more extreme and less buffered against environmental fluctuations.…”
