Germplasm Seed Movement and Global Plant Health
Global seed transfers through trade, and collection and distribution of genetic resources by
genebanks are important pathways for the transboundary spread of seed-borne pests,
especially viruses that the insect vectors can ...
CGIAR germplasm health units apply a systems approach to germplasm seed health protection for conservation and safe international distribution
Germplasm seed exchange from CGIAR genebanks and breeding is important to global
agricultural research and development programs. Seed as a pathway for pest spread is an
inherent risk for international seed exchanges. ...
Exploring the potential of mapped soil properties, rhizobium inoculation, and phosphorus supplementation for predicting soybean yield in the savanna areas of Nigeria
Rapid and accurate soybean yield prediction at an on-farm scale is important for ensuring sustainable yield increases and contributing to food security maintenance in Nigeria. We used multiple approaches to assess the ...
Increasing lowland rice yields of smallholder farmers through the adoption of good agricultural practices in the forest agro-ecological zone of Ghana
Rice is an important food crop in Ghana. However, its production has constantly been below 40%
of the demand, and most of the requirements meet from imports. Such low production level is
largely attributed to farmers’ ...
Agricultural livelihood systems typology for coping with diversity in smallholder farming system research: A demonstrative case in South-western Burkina Faso
Smallholder farms’ populations are characterized by their heterogeneity giving the diversity of farms’ livelihood settings. Integrated farming system modelling therefore requires a preliminary clear identification of the ...
Addressing SDG15 in the Sahel by Building Pathways for Transforming Food and Land Systems in a Climate Crisis
The up and out scaling of a technological innovation are driven by its suitability for specific farming system. These systems are defined by a complex interaction of climatic factors, and socio-economic considerations. ...

Report on small-scale mechanization opportunities for feed and forage production in Mali
The report shows the results of this 2-week survey, including feed processing machines available in Mali (imported and manufactured) and farmer organizations and innovation platforms involved in feed business
Report on the Workshop for Consolidating Curriculum of the New Master-level Subject Titled “Integrated Methods for Analysis and Assessment of Agricultural Livelihood Systems Toward Sustainability”
This report recaps and overviews the result of the participatory consolidation of the Curriculum of the New Master-level Subject Titled “Integrated Methods for Analysis and Assessment of Agricultural Livelihood Systems ...
The Future of Wheat Research and Production in Sub-Saharan Africa
The objective of this brief is to summarize the major available findings in terms of wheat foresight in Africa, including the prospects for future genetic, agronomic, seeds and political economy under different climate ...
