International waters: Identifying basins at risk por Wolf, Aaron T., Yoffe, Shira B., Giordano, Mark

“…These basins include: the Ganges-Brahmaputra, Han, Incomati, Kunene, Kura-Araks, Lake Chad, La Plata, Lempa, Limpopo, Mekong, Ob (Ertis), Okavango, Orange, Salween, Senegal, Tumen and Zambezi.We then identify “red flags,” or markers related to these indicators, which might be monitored in the future. Finally, recognizing that history-based indicators may lose validity over time in a rapidly changing world, we ask, “what about the future, which may look nothing like the past,” and focus on four topics: new technologies for negotiation and management; globalization, privatization and the WTO; the geopolitics of desalination; and the changing sources of water and the changing nature of conflict.…”

Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia por Valbuena, Diego, Homann-Kee Tui, Sabine, Erenstein, Olaf, Teufel, Nils, Duncan, Alan J., Abdoulaye, Tahirou, Swain, Braja B., Mekonnen, Kindu, Germaine, I., Gerard, Bruno G.

“…In sites with low cereal production and high livestock feed demand, pressures and trade-offs depend on the availability of better feed resources. Finally, sites with high cereal production and high livestock feed demand have been able to fulfil most of the demand for CR, limiting pressures and trade-offs. …”

Mineral nutrient uptake and removal by cowpea, soybean and maize cultivars in West Africa, and implications for carbon cycle effects on soil acidification por Randall, P.J., Abaidoo, Robert C., Hocking, PJ, Sanginga, Nteranya

“…The inclusion of legumes in cropping systems to increase N supply, and the use of P fertilizer to maximize N-fixation by legumes will raise production, but will inevitably accelerate removal of alkalinity and nutrients in harvested products, and the consequent decline in soil fertility. …”

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 recommendations forwarded to get Ethiopian smallholder dairying moving along a sustainable commercialization path encompass: improving economic incentives to encourage innovation; organizing dairy producers and linking them with vertically coordinated value chain; pursuing holistic approach to achieving sustainable technological innovation to increase supply response; supporting private sector development and promoting public-private partnership, creatively using the expanding ICT infrastructure as a means for facilitating multi-stakeholder interaction and knowledge management; formulating appropriate and adaptive policy for the sub-sector development; along with complementary national strategy capable of providing clear roadmap; guiding spatially targeted investment and intervention decisions; and defining principles for pragmatic participation, inter-organizational interaction and coordination. Finally, strengthening commodity-based local - woreda/milkshed- innovation systems capacity with value chain perspective is underlined. …”

Picturing impact of the PEDIGREA program: a case study from Indramayu, Indonesia por Wienarto, Nugroho, Kuswara, Engkus, Hakim, Arief

“…The process distinguishes three steps: a) a three days workshop with farmer representatives from each group/village to discuss the concept of project results and impacts, to learn how to take useful photographs, and to make a work plan of objects and situations for each village to be photographed; b) a two week period of activities in each village to take photos, to select the interesting pictures, and to write the explanatory notes for each of the photos; c) a three days workshop to finalize the notes for each picture, to reflect on the program impacts and farmer’s benefits, to evaluate the impact study process, and to develop follow-up plan for each group/village. …”

Disease burden due to gastrointestinal infections among people living along the major wastewater system in Hanoi, Vietnam por Fuhrimann, S., Nauta, M., Phuc Pham Duc, Nguyen Thuy Tram, Hung Nguyen-Viet, Utzinger, J., Cissé, G., Winkler, Mirko S.

“…These findings are of direct public health relevance and call for upgrading Hanoi's wastewater system to reduce microbial contamination. Finally, this study presents a first example on how to link QMRA to a sanitation safety planning (SSP) approach in an Asian context and its findings are interesting in the frame of Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) #6.…”

Genetic gains in grain yield of a maize population improved through marker assisted recurrent selection under stress and non-stress conditions in west Africa por Abdulmalik, R.O., Menkir, A., Meseka, S.K., Unachukwu, N.N., Ado, S.G., Olarewaju, J.D., Aba, D.A., Hearne, S., Crossa, J., Gedil, Melaku A

“…The results showed that the frequency of favorable alleles increased with MARS in the bi-parental population with none of the markers showing fixation. The gain in grain yield was not significant under DS condition due to the combined effect of DS and armyworm infestation in 2015. …”

Increasing sensitivity of methane emission measurements in rice through deployment of ‘closed chambers’ at nighttime por Wassmann, Reiner, Alberto, Ma.Carmelita, Tirol-Padre, Agnes, Hoang, Nghia Trong, Romasanta, Ryan, Centeno, Caesar Arloo, Sander, Bjoern Ole

“…While end CH4 concentrations were consistently >3.5 ppm, this long-term enclosure represents a very robust approach to quantify emissions as compared to assessing short-term concentration increases over time near the analytical detection limit. Finally, we have discussed the potential applications of this new approach that would allow emission measurements even when conventional (daytime) measurements will not be suitable. …”
