Transdisciplinary research approaches for crop science research: theory, practice, and implications for research design by Amoak, Daniel, Najjar, Dina, Belcher, Brian

“…Success needs to be measured in gains from multiple traits, including climate resilience (drought or heat tolerance), nutritional value, value to women farmers or the marginalized, and market traits valued by a range of consumers, as well as the necessary attention to productivity and income-generation (De Grandis & Efstathiou, 2016; FAO, 2023). The systematic exclusion of women and other minority voices may be partly explained by their limited representation in agri-food systems governance (Amoak et al., 2022), as well as programs bereft of research designs that embrace a plurality of views. …”

Using the WISE database to parameterize soil inputs for crop simulation models by Gijsman, A.J., Thornton, Philip K., Hoogenboom, Gerrit

“…All soil profiles have been geo-referenced, and can thus be linked to the digital version of the FAO-UNESCO soil map of the world. We describe the methods used to convert the soil profile database, discuss the variability of key soil variables by soil class, illustrate how the database can be used, and conclude with recommendations for further work to improve the database for biophysical modeling applications.…”
