Improving zinc and iron biofortification in wheat through genomics approaches por Wani, Shabir Hussain, Gaikwad, Kiran, Razzaq, Ali, Samantara, Kajal, Kumar, Manjeet, Velu, Govindan

“…The conventional breeding strategies have been successful in the introduction of novel alleles for grain Zn and Fe that led to the release of competitive Zn enriched wheat varieties in South Asia. The major challenge over the next few decades will be to maintain the rates of genetic gains for grain yield along with increased grain Zn/Fe concentration to meet the food and nutritional security challenges. …”

Social protection: Designing adaptive systems to build resilience to climate change por Gilligan, Daniel O., Devereux, Stephen, Tenzing, Janna

“…For example, many national social protection systems in the poorest and most vulnerable countries of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia dating to the 2000s started with targeted standing safety net programs and then later integrated measures to provide humanitarian assistance, scale up temporary transfers to better respond to shocks, and promote household and community resilience — the ability to avoid or escape from chronic poverty in the face of myriad stressors and shocks. …”

Comparing delivery channels to promote nutrition-sensitive agriculture: A cluster-randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh por Ahmed, Akhter, Coleman, Fiona M., Hoddinott, John F., Menon, Purnima, Parvin, Aklima, Pereira, Audrey, Quisumbing, Agnes R., Roy, Shalini

“…Our results suggest opposite-sex agents may not necessarily be less effective in providing training. In South Asia, where agricultural extension systems and the pipeline to those systems are male-dominated, training men to deliver nutrition messages may offer a temporary solution to the shortage of female extension workers and offer opportunities to scale promote nutrition-sensitive agriculture.…”
