Willingness to pay for quality traits and implications for sweetpotato variety breeding: case of Mozambique por Mulwa, C.K., Tomo, A., Mudema, J., Makunde, G.S., Andrade, M.I., Ssali, R.T., Abdul, N., Campos, Hugo

“…These traits were then utilized in the design of a choice experiment, implemented among 860 sweetpotato producers spread across four sweetpotato growing regions in the country. Finally, a generalized multinomial logit model was used to estimate implicit economic valuation of each of the considered trait, as well as heterogenous valuation of such traits across gender, education and age of respondent groups. …”

A robust DayCent model calibration to assess the potential impact of integrated soil fertility management on maize yields, soil carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions in Kenya por Laub, M., Necpalova, M., Broek, M. van de, Corbeels, Marc, Ndungu, S.M., Muchere-Muna, M.W., Mugendi, D., Yegon, R., Waswa, W., Vanlauwe, Bernard, Six, J.

“…This confirms that the decomposition of SOC in tropical maize cropping systems is much faster than in temperate systems and that the DayCent temperature function is not suitable to capture this with a single parameter set. Finally, the global warming potential simulated by DayCent was highest in control -N treatments (0.5–2.5 kg CO2 equivalent per kg grain yield, depending on the site) and could be reduced by 14 to 72 % by combined application of mineral N and manure at a medium rate. …”

Dietary quality and nutrition in Myanmar: Past progress, current and future challenges por Mahrt, Kristi, Headey, Derek D., Ecker, Olivier, Comstock, Andrew R., Tauseef, Salauddin

“…Then, in a nationally representative phone survey conducted quarterly in 2022 over a period of rapid food inflation, we find further deterioration in diet quality among adults, but no deterioration among children 6-23 months of age, suggesting parents may be trying to insulate their children from the worst effects of the crisis. Finally, we conclude the paper by discussing policy and program options in very difficult political circumstances. …”

Poverty measurement by phone: Developing and testing alternative poverty metrics from the nationally representative Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS), Round 1 (December 2021-... por Myanmar Agriculture Policy Support Activity

“…However, asset and income poverty are relatively quick and easy to measure, and conceptual complements to each other: income poverty is likely to be sensitive to shocks and seasonality, while asset poverty is insensitive to these fluctuations but captures long-term wealth. Finally, another important benefit of measuring income poverty is its ability to capture the effects of inflationary shocks, as inflation can affect both nominal incomes (e.g. through unemployment) as well as through the analyst’s price adjustments to the real food poverty line.…”

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) genotype selection using advanced indices and statistical models: A multi-year approach por Alam, Z., Akter, S., Khan, M.a.H., Hossain, M.I., Amin, M.N., Biswas, A., Rahaman, E.H.M.S., Ali, M.A., Chanda, D., Rahman, M.H.S., Kawochar, M.A., Alam, M.S., Molla, M.M., Islam, M.M., Jahan, M., Prodhan, M.Z.H., Kadir, M.M., Sarker, D.

“…For simultaneous stability and high performance, the WAASBY index selected H37 for MRY, H6 for DW, H61 for BC, and H3 for VC. Finally, genotypes H3 and H20 were selected using multi-trait stability index (MTSI), as they possessed high performance and stability. …”

Accounting for the rapid reduction of child stunting in Tanzania over 2005-2016 por Headey, Derek D., Heckert, Jessica, Ndiaye, Biram, Brero, Mauro, Assey, Vincent

“…In contrast, the apparent effects of household wealth, parental education, maternal and child health care and WASH are more important in explaining stunting reduction among older children. Finally, we go beyond historical decompositions by using the regression results to project alternative stunting reduction scenarios to 2025. …”

An exploration of the potential benefits of integrated pest management systems and the use of insect resistant potatoes to control the Guatemalan Tuber Moth (Tecia solanivora Povol... por Falck-Zepeda, José B., Barreto-Triana, Nancy, Baquero-Haeberlin, Irma, Espitia-Malagón, Eduardo, Fierro-Guzmán, Humberto, López, Nancy

“…The economic surplus estimates show that even considering variability of field and storage losses, as well as of other critical parameters, the use of Bt potatoes in Colombia creates a positive return to investment to Bt potato research, assuming that damage is present under field conditions. We finalize by discussing some of the institutional and strategic considerations for the potential use of Bt potatoes in the country.…”
