Reaching more farmers: Innovative approaches to scaling up climate-smart agriculture por Westermann, Olaf, Thornton, Philip K., Förch, Wiebke

“…We conclude that multi-stakeholder platforms and policy making networks are key to effective upscaling, especially if paired with capacity enhancement, learning, and innovative approaches to support decision making of farmers. Projects that aim to intervene upstream at higher leverage points can be highly efficient and probably offer cost-effective dissemination strategies that reach across scales and include new and more diverse partnerships. …”

Potato variety diversity, determinants and Implications for potato breeding strategy in Ethiopia por Kolech, S.A., Halseth, D., Jong, W. de, Perry, K., Wolfe, D., Tiruneh, F.M., Schulz, S.

“…The distribution of varieties differed among agro-ecologies as did the traits that farmers were most concerned with, such as drought tolerance, late blight resistance, yield potential, marketability, food value, storage quality, adaptation to low soil fertility, time to maturity and suitability for multiple harvesting. Farmers’ decision-making processes and external factors that influence potato variety diversity were also documented. …”

Using participatory research and gender analysis in natural resource management por Johnson, Nancy L., Lilja, Nina, Ashby, Jacqueline A.

“…The use of participatory tools and methods has increased dramatically in natural resource management (NRM) over the past decade, largely because of the recognition that sustainable NRM cannot be achieved without involving the individuals and communities who make decisions about how resources are used. Participation of resource users and other stakeholders is important not only in the management of resources, but also in research oriented toward the generation of information and innovations that shape how resources are understood and exploited. …”

Gender and inorganic nitrogen: what are the implications of moving towards a more balanced use of nitrogen fertilizer in the tropics? por Farnworth, Cathy Rozel, Stirling, Clare M., Sapkota, Tek Bahadur, Jat, Mangi Lal, Misiko, Michael T., Simon, Attwood

“…We suggest that gender-equitable strategies for achieving more balanced use of N will increase the likelihood of attaining macro-level reductions in GHG emissions provided that they secure equity in intra-household decision-making and address food security. Gender-equitable N use efficiency strategies will help to integrate and assure gender and social equity co-benefits at local scales.…”

Realizing farmers' rights through community seed banks in Uganda: experiences and policy issues por Otieno, G.A., Kiwuka, C., Mulumba, John W.

“…Through partnerships with local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), research and government institutions, CSBs have received technical and financial support for conservation and seed production activities, thus enabling them to participate in seed value-chains through production of quality declared seed (QDS) and participate in decision making. Although the policy and legal environment for the functioning of CSBs is not well defined, various pieces of draft legislation provide positively for ways through which CSBs can be recognized and supported for the benefit of farmers. …”

Gender equity and social inclusion in joint forest management: Lessons from two Indian states por Elias, Marlène

“…The agreement is operationalized through JFM Committees (JFMCs) – referred to as Village Forest Committees (VFCs) in some states – where elected community representatives and a FD official make forest-related decisions in a supposedly collaborative manner.
