Planning for changes in complex food systems: Value chain mapping of different poultry production systems in Nairobi as a first step to food safety, livelihood improvement and micr... by Carron, M., Alarcón, Pablo, Häsler, Barbara, Fèvre, Eric M., Karani, M., Muinde, P., Akoko, James M., Onono, J., Rushton, Jonathan

“…Greatest homogeneity was seen in the chains with commercial broiler chickens (birds for meat production) with one large company supplying 60% of Nairobi’s day-old chicks to small-scale farmers. A small number of larger companies supply broiler chicken meat to high-end retailers across Nairobi, yet there are many more small-scale broiler farmers who sell birds close to their farms, or in Nairobi markets. …”

Meta-analysis of grain yield QTL identified during agricultural drought in grasses showed consensus by Swamy, B.P. Mallikarjuna, Vikram, Prashant, Dixit, Shalabh, Ahmed, H.U., Kumar, Arvind

“…The genes in the meta-QTL regions were analyzed by a comparative genomics approach and candidate genes were deduced for grain yield under drought. Three groups of genes such as stress-inducible genes, growth and development-related genes, and sugar transport-related genes were found in clusters in most of the meta-QTL.Meta-QTL with small genetic and physical intervals could be useful in Marker-assisted selection individually and in combinations. …”

Household pork consumption behaviour in Vietnam: Implications for pro-smallholder pig value chain upgrading by Nga Nguyen Thi Duong, Nguyen Thi Thu Huyen, Pham Van Hung, Duong Nam Ha, Tran Van Long, Dang Thi Be, Unger, Fred, Lapar, Ma. Lucila

“…Several potential implications are drawn for upgrading the pig value chains: (i) Organizing small farms into groups applying good practices that allow meat to be traceable and certified by trusted institutions; (ii) Developing a quality assurance system that can be feasibly established under smallholder conditions, and complies with minimum quality and safety standards tailored to Vietnam’s context, (iii) Strengthening capacity to collect appropriate market information to provide pig producers, particularly smallholders, reliable meat demand and supply forecast to better serve their target consumers; and (iv) Improving cost and quality competitiveness in pig value chains. …”

Studying growth and vigor as quantitative traits in grapevine populations by Hugalde, Ines Pilar, Riaz, Summaira, Agüero, Cecilia B., Vila, Hernan Felix, Gomez Talquenca, Gonzalo, Walker, M. Andrew

“…It is well established that growth and vigor are quantitative traits and their genetic architecture consists of a big number of genes with small individual effects. The search for groups of genes with small individual effects, which control a specific quantitative trait, is performed by QTL analysis and genetic mapping. …”

Ground-living predators of the apple fruit moth Argyresthia conjugella (Zell.) by Furenhed, Sara

“…In spring and autumn, large insects between 5 to 11 mm, were the major predator of the apple fruit moth, while the smaller insects of sizes 0-5 mm, dominated the predation during winter. Small rodents (11-20 mm) had little or no predation effect on the apple fruit moth pupae, probably because the pupae were too small to be detected as a food source. …”

Public food procurement: a transformative instrument for sustainable food systems by Stein, Mark, Hunter, Danny, Swensson, Luana, Schneider, Sergio, Tartanac, Florence

“…A key characteristic of public food procurement is that it offers the opportunity to determine the way food is procured in addition to what type of food is purchased (local, diverse, nutritious, healthy, culturally appropriate, etc.), from whom (smallholder farmers, small and medium food enterprises, women, youth, and/or other vulnerable groups), and from which type of production (from agroecology or organic or other modes of agricultural production that ensure environmental sustainability as well as biodiversity). …”
