Crop management based on field observations: case studies in sugarcane and coffee por Cock, James H., Oberthür, Thomas, Isaacs, C., Läderach, Peter R.D., Palma, A, Carbonell Gonzalez, JA, Victoria, J., Watts, G, Amaya, A., Collet, L, Lema, G, Anderson, E

“…The basis of the methodology is to (a) obtain data from a series of cropping events that characterizes the conditions under which each crop is grown, how it is managed and how it performs under commercial conditions (data capture), (b) to manage and analyze the data in centralized databases (data management and analysis) and (c) make the information derived from the data analysis available to growers so that they can use it to make better informed decisions (interpretation). All aspects of the methodology depend on the social organization of the growers and the supply chain of which they form a part, and hence social organization is an integral part of the methodology. …”

Delivering climate services for farmers and pastoralists through interactive radio por Hampson, Karen J., Chapota, Rex, Emmanuel, Japhet, Tall, Arame, Huggins-Rao, Sheila, Leclair, Mark, Perkins, Kevin, Kaur, Harneet, Hansen, James

“…In general, farmers would trust climate information received via their preferred radio stations, and would use it in decision-making on their farms. Women and men differed in time spent listening to radio, in mobile phone airtime purchased, and in Malawi, phone ownership; but larger location differences masked any gender differences in preferences about information content, delivery channels, or expectations about user and benefit. …”

Qualitative model of potato seed systems: A proposal to converge seed-related biophysical and socioeconomic factors. por Ortíz, O., Pérez, W., Orrego, R., Tenorio, J., Schulte-Geldermann, Elmar, Schulz, S., Demo, P., Kakuhenzire, R., Kadian, M.S., Carli, C., Xie, K.

“…However, these experiences have not been documented in a comparative or parallel way in order to understand the factors that influence success or failure and to extract lessons and guidelines that can support decision-making for future investments. This paper presents a proposal for modeling potato seed systems by identifying the key factors that influence the use of quality seed by farmers, which includes three main types of factors, namely 1) the biophysical factors related to seed degeneration and seed availability, both influenced by the presence of biotic (viruses, bacterial wilt, and other diseases, or pest such as potato tuber moth), and abiotic constraints (frosts or draughts that represent shocks that could threaten seed availability); 2) management factors, including farmers' own seed management practices and also the seed multiplication technologies used by the private or public sector in charge of seed supply, this influenced in turn by the existing regulatory frameworks; 3) demand and market related factors, which includes farmers' willingness to pay for quality seed, influenced by their perception about the added value of seed quality, the market demand for specific varieties, and the profitability of potato cultivation as a business. …”

Variance components and estimates of genetic parameters for early growth traits in Horro sheep por Abegaz, Solomon, Negussie, E., Duguma, G., Rege, J.E.O.

“…However, since the direct-maternal genetic covariances were found to be negative, caution should be made in making selection decisions. The high genetic correlation among early growth traits imply that genetic improvement in any one of the traits could be made through indirect selection for correlated traits.…”

The role of food systems in improving maternal and child nutrition in challenging African low-income settings por Domínguez Salas, Paula, Alarcón, Pablo, Häsler, Barbara, Grace, Delia, Alonso, Silvia, Ferguson, E., Cornelsen, L., Fèvre, Eric M., Rushton, Jonathan

“…We developed and tested a framework to study the association between consumers’ access to and use of different ASF and livestock value chains, and poor nutritional status, to inform decisions on interventions and policies. Methods This multidisciplinary study combined quantitative and qualitative methodologies to address unexplored linkages between value chain and nutrition. 205 households and 222 retailers in two Nairobi slums were surveyed to 1) measure consumption and undernutrition; 2) examine ASF role in adequate diets using linear programming; and 3) investigate value chain links with nutrition. …”
